Hosea 6
1 'Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.
Vini, annou retounen kote SENYÈ a; paske li te chire nou, men Li va geri nou. Li te blese nou, men Li va panse nou.
2 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.
Li va fè nou vin refè apre de jou; Nan twazyèm jou a Li va fè nou leve. Konsa, nou va viv devan Li.
3 And we know — we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain — sprinkling earth.'
Annou rekonèt SENYÈ a; annou refize lage pou nou ka konnen SENYÈ a. Aparans Li asire tankou solèy k ap leve granmmaten. Konsa, Li va vini sou nou tankou lapli, tankou lapli prentan k ap wouze latè.
4 What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early — going.
Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Éphraïm? Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Juda? Paske fidelite ou tankou nwaj nan maten, tankou farinay ki disparèt bonè.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.
Akoz sa, Mwen te taye yo an mòso ak pwofèt yo; Mwen te touye yo ak pawòl bouch Mwen. Jijman Ou yo se tankou loray k ap tire.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Paske, Mwen pito mizerikòd olye sakrifis, epi konesans Bondye a plis ke ofrann brile.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
Men yo menm, tankou Adam te kase transgresyon akò a. La, yo pa t fidèl anvè Mwen.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Galaad se yon vil ki plen ak malfektè, plen ak tach san.
9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder — the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.
Epi tankou bandi k ap tann yon moun; konsa, yon twoup prèt asasine moun sou wout pou rive Sichem nan. Se gwo krim y ap fè.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim — defiled is Israel.
Nan lakay Israël, Mwen te wè yon move bagay. Gen pwostitisyon nan Éphraïm. Israël souye pwòp tèt li.
11 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!
Ou menm tou, O Juda! Gen yon rekòlt ki deja apwente pou ou menm, lè Mwen retabli byennèt pèp Mwen an.
