Hosiya 6
1 “Bịanụ ka anyị laghachikwuru Onyenwe anyị. Ya onwe ya adọkaala anyị, ọ ga-agwọkwa anyị; o tipụla anyị ọnya, ma ọ ga ekechikwa ọnya anyị.
In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
2 Ọ ga-eme ka anyị dịkwa ndụ ọzọ mgbe ụbọchị abụọ gasịrị. Nʼụbọchị nke atọ, ọ ga-eme ka anyị bilie guzokwa nʼụkwụ anyị, meekwa ka anyị dịrị ndụ nʼihu ya.
For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
3 Ka anyị mara Onyenwe anyị; ka anyị gbalịsie ike ịmata ya. Ọ bụladị dịka anyanwụ na-awalite, nʼezie, ọ ga-apụta ìhè dịka chi ọbụbọ, ọ ga-abịakwute anyị dịka mmiri ozuzo, dịka mmiri na-ezosa ala nʼoge udu mmiri.”
He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
4 “Gịnị ka m ga-eji gị mee, O Ifrem? Gịnị ka m ga-eji gị mee, O Juda? Ịhụnanya gị dịka igwe ojii nke ụtụtụ, dịka igirigi na-anọ naanị nwa mgbe nta.
What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
5 Nke mere m ji si nʼọnụ ndị amụma gbukasịa ha. Ejirila m okwu ọnụ m gbuo ha, ikpe ọmụma m na-achawapụta dịka ìhè.
Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
6 Nʼihi na ana m achọ ebere, ọ bụghị aja, ịmata Chineke kama aja nsure ọkụ niile.
For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Ma dịka Adam, ha emebiela ọgbụgba ndụ m; nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọ gosi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ha.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
8 Gilead bụ obodo nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, nke eji nzọ ụkwụ ọbara zọtọsịa.
Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
9 Dịka ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe na-ezo na-eche onye ga-agafe, otu a ka ndị nchụaja si egbu ndị mmadụ nʼụzọ Shekem, leenụ oke ajọ omume ihere dị otu a.
And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.
10 Nʼezie, ahụla m ihe jọgburu onwe ya nʼime Izrel. Nʼebe ahụ ka Ifrem nọ na-agba akwụna, emerụọkwala Izrel.
I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
11 “Ma nye gị onwe gị, Juda, owuwe ihe ubi nọ na-eche gị. “Mgbe ọbụla m ga-eweghachi akụnụba ndị m,
But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
