Koseya 6
1 “Mujje, tudde eri Mukama. Atutaaguddetaagudde, naye alituwonya; atuleeseeko ebiwundu, naye ebiwundu alibinyiga.
In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
2 Oluvannyuma olw’ennaku bbiri alituzzaamu obulamu, era ku lunaku olwokusatu alituzza buggya, ne tubeera balamu mu maaso ge.
For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
3 Tumanye Mukama; tunyiikire okumumanya. Ng’enjuba bw’evaayo enkya, bw’atyo bw’alirabika; alijja gye tuli ng’enkuba ey’omu kiseera ky’omuzira, era ng’enkuba eya ddumbi efukirira ettaka.”
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 Nkukolere ki, Efulayimu? Nkukolere ki, Yuda? Okwagala kwo kuli ng’olufu olw’enkya, era ng’omusulo ogw’enkya ogukala amangu.
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 Kyenvudde nkozesa bannabbi okubasalaasala ebitundutundu, ne mbatta n’ebigambo eby’omu kamwa kange, era ne mbasalira emisango ng’okumyansa okw’eggulu.
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 Kubanga njagala ekisa so si ssaddaaka, era n’okumanya Katonda, okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
9 Ng’abatemu bwe bateegerera omuntu mu kkubo, n’ebibiina bya bakabona bwe bityo bwe bittira ku luguudo olugenda e Sekemu, ne bazza emisango egy’obuswavu.
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 Ndabye eby’ekivve mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri; era eyo Efulayimu gye yeeweereddeyo mu bwamalaaya, ne Isirayiri gy’ayonoonekedde.
I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
11 “Naawe Yuda, amakungula gatuuse. “Bwe ndikomyawo emikisa gy’abantu bange,
But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
