Hosea 6
1 Na mwet uh fahk, “Lela kut in folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD! El sekuti, ac El ac fah akkeyekutla. El kantekuti, tuh El ac fah pwelah kinet kacsr uh.
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 Inmasrlon len luo ku tolu, El ac akmoulyekutyak, ac kut ac sifilpa muta yorol.
After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
3 Lela kut in srike in etu LEUM GOD. Pwayena lah El ac tuku nu yorosr oana ke faht uh takak ke lotutang nukewa, ac oana ke af uh ac kahki meet liki pacl in fokla fokinsak uh.”
And let us know, let us follow on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the morning: and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.
4 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel ac Judah, mea nga ac oru nu suwos uh? Lungse lowos nu sik uh sa na wanginla oana ohk ke kusrun len, ac oana aunfong su sa na in wanginla ke lotutang.
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.
5 Pa inge sripa se sis nga supwaot mwet palu luk in fahkak kas in nununku ac kunausla nu suwos. Ma nga enenu suwos uh arulana kalem:
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are [as] the light that goeth forth.
6 Nga enenu lungse kawil lowos, ac tia mwe kisa ke kosro. Wona sik mwet luk uh in eteyu, liki na elos in orek kisa firir nu sik.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 “Tusruk, in pacl se na elos utyak nu in acn Adam, elos kunausla wuleang luk su nga orala yorolos.
But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Siti Gilead sie acn su tingtingi ke mwet koluk ac mwet akmas.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is stained with blood.
9 Mwet tol elos oana u in mwet sulallal su wikwik in soano mwet. Finne inkanek nu yen mutal in acn Shechem, elos orek akmas pac we. Elos pwapani in oru ma koluk inge nukewa.
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.
10 Nga liye sie ma arulana koluk in Israel: mwet luk elos tiana pwaye nu sik ke sripen elos alu nu ke ma sruloala.
In the house of Israel I have seen an horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 “Ac nu suwos mwet Judah, nga oakiya tari sie pacl in kai nu suwos ke sripen orekma lowos.
Also, O Judah, there is an harvest appointed for thee, when I bring again the captivity of my people.
