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 vs returne to the Lord: for he hath spoyled, and he will heale vs: he hath wounded vs, and he will binde vs vp.
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 dayes will he reuiue vs, and in the third day he will raise vs vp, and we shall liue in his sight.
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.”
Then shall we haue knowledge, and indeuour our selues to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come vnto vs as the raine, and as the latter raine vnto 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.
O Ephraim, what shall I doe vnto thee? O Iudah, how shall I intreate thee? for your goodnesse is as a morning cloude, and as the morning dewe it goeth 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 haue I cut downe by the Prophets: I haue slaine them by the wordes of my mouth, and thy iudgements were as the light that goeth forth.
6 Nʼihi na ana m achọ ebere, ọ bụghị aja, ịmata Chineke kama aja nsure ọkụ niile.
For I desired mercie, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more then burnt offrings.
7 Ma dịka Adam, ha emebiela ọgbụgba ndụ m; nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọ gosi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ha.
But they like men haue transgressed the couenant: there haue they trespassed against me.
8 Gilead bụ obodo nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, nke eji nzọ ụkwụ ọbara zọtọsịa.
Gilead is a citie of them that worke iniquitie, and is polluted 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 the eues waite for a man, so the companie of Priestes murder in the way by consent: for they worke mischiefe.
10 Nʼezie, ahụla m ihe jọgburu onwe ya nʼime Izrel. Nʼebe ahụ ka Ifrem nọ na-agba akwụna, emerụọkwala Izrel.
I haue seene vileny in the house of Israel: there is ye whoredome of Ephraim: 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,
Yea, Iudah hath set a plant for thee, whiles I woulde returne ye captiuitie of my people.
