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.
“Kottaa gara Waaqayyootti deebinaa. Inni nu ciccireera; garuu nu fayyisa; inni nu madeesseera; garuu madaa keenya ni waldhaana.

6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Ani araaran fedha malee aarsaa hin fedhuutii; aarsaa gubamu caalaa Waaqa beekuu nan fedha.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
Isaan akkuma Addaam kakuu cabsaniiru; achittis anaaf hin amanamne.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Giliʼaad magaalaa hamootaa kan dhiigaan faalamtee dha.
9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder — the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.
Akkuma saamtuun riphxee nama eeggattu sana, gareen lubootaas akkasuma godhu; isaan yakka qaanessaa hojjechuudhaan karaa Sheekem irratti nama ajjeesu.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim — defiled is Israel.
