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.
Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
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.
After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
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.”
and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.
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 shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
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.
Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.
6 Nʼihi na ana m achọ ebere, ọ bụghị aja, ịmata Chineke kama aja nsure ọkụ niile.
For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
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: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead bụ obodo nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, nke eji nzọ ụkwụ ọbara zọtọsịa.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
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 as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.
10 Nʼezie, ahụla m ihe jọgburu onwe ya nʼime Izrel. Nʼebe ahụ ka Ifrem nọ na-agba akwụna, emerụọkwala Izrel.
In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
11 “Ma nye gị onwe gị, Juda, owuwe ihe ubi nọ na-eche gị. “Mgbe ọbụla m ga-eweghachi akụnụba ndị m,
Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
