Hosea 6
1 “Miva, mina míatrɔ ayi Yehowa gbɔ, elabena eyae vuvu mí, eya koe ate ŋu ayɔ dɔ mi. Eyae de abi mía ŋuti, eye eyae abla abi la na mí.
Come so let us return to Yahweh for he he has torn to pieces and he will heal us he has struck and he will bind up us.
2 Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, agbɔ agbe mí, le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, aɖo mí te, eye míanɔ agbe le eŋkume!
He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.
3 Mina míatrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu. Mina míadze agbagba be míanyae, eye abe ale si ɣedzedze kple kelemetsi medana le edzi o ene la, nenema ke kakaɖedzi li be magbe tɔtɔ na mí o.”
And let us know let us pursue to know Yahweh like [the] dawn [is] steadfast going forth his so he may come like the rain to us like [the] spring rain [which] it waters [the] land.
4 “O, Efraim, nu ka mawɔ na wò, O, Yuda, nu ka mawɔ kpli wò?
What? will I do to you O Ephraim what? will I do to you O Judah and loyalty your [is] like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going.
5 Medɔ nye nyagblɔɖilawo ɖa, wolã mi kakɛkakɛe, eye metsɔ nye numenyawo wu mii; nye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ake dzo ɖe mia dzi abe dzikedzo ene,
There-fore I will cut [them] in pieces by the prophets I will kill them by [the] words of mouth my and judgments your [is] light [which] it goes forth.
6 elabena nublanuikpɔkpɔ dim mele, menye vɔsa o, eye sidzedze Mawu dim mele wu numevɔsawo,
For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 gake abe Adam ene la, mietu nye nubabla la, eye miewɔ nuteƒe o.
And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.
8 Gilead nye nu tovo wɔlawo ƒe du, eye ʋu si woƒe afɔwo ƒo la ɖe ɖe woƒe ablɔwo dzi.
Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.
9 Dua me nɔlawo katã nye adzoblasuwo sɔŋ, eye wode xa ɖi na ame siwo woɖo be yewoafi. Nunɔlawo ƒe hawo hã de xa ɖe Sekem mɔ dzi le amewo wum, eye wole nu vɔ̃ ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe wɔm.
And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.
10 Nyateƒe, mekpɔ nu dziŋɔwo le Israel. Efraim wɔ ahasi to mawu bubuwo yometiti me, eye Israel ya bliba ɖe ŋunyɔnu me.
In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Q(k)*) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
11 “O, Yuda, woɖo nuŋeɣi ɖi na wò hã. “Ne megaɖo nye dukɔ ƒe nunyonamewo te,
Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.
