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.
Boya, tozonga epai na Yawe! Akati-kati biso solo na biteni, kasi akobikisa biso; azokisaki biso, kasi akotia kisi na bapota na biso.
2 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.
Sima na mikolo mibale, akopesa biso lisusu bomoi; na mokolo ya misato, akotelemisa biso lisusu mpo ete tozala na bomoi liboso na Ye.
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.'
Toyeba Yawe, toluka penza koyeba Ye; ndenge tongo etanaka solo, ndenge wana mpe akomonana: akoya epai na biso lokola mvula, lokola mvula oyo enokaka na pwasa mpe epolisaka mabele.
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.
Efrayimi, nasala yo lisusu nini? Yuda, nasala yo lisusu nini? Bolingo na bino mpo na Ngai ezali lokola londende ya tongo, lokola mamwe oyo elimwaka noki.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.
Yango wana, na maloba ya basakoli na Ngai, nazali kokata-kata bino na biteni; na maloba ya monoko na Ngai, nazali koboma bino, mpe bitumbu ezali kokweyela bino lokola mokalikali.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Pamba te nasepelaka na boboto koleka mbeka, mpe na boyebi ya Nzambe koleka mbeka ya kotumba.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
Ndenge kaka Adamu asalaki, bango mpe babukaki boyokani na Ngai; kuna, bazalaki sembo te liboso na Ngai.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Galadi ezali engumba ya bato mabe, etonda na bilembo ya makila.
9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder — the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.
Ndenge babomi babombamaka mpo na koluka kosala bato mabe, ndenge wana mpe Banganga-Nzambe basalaka: babomaka bato na nzela ya Sishemi; ezali likambo ya somo penza!
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim — defiled is Israel.
Kati na libota ya Isalaele, namonaki makambo ya somo makasi: Efrayimi amipesaki na kindumba, mpe Isalaele akomaki mbindo.
11 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!
Yo mpe lisusu, Yuda, tango ya kobuka mbuma ebongisami mpo na yo, sima na Ngai kozongisa bomengo ya bato na Ngai.
