Koseya 6
1 “Mujje, tudde eri Mukama. Atutaaguddetaagudde, naye alituwonya; atuleeseeko ebiwundu, naye ebiwundu alibinyiga.
In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and 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 hath taken 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 shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
4 Nkukolere ki, Efulayimu? Nkukolere ki, Yuda? Okwagala kwo kuli ng’olufu olw’enkya, era ng’omusulo ogw’enkya ogukala amangu.
What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth 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.
For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
6 Kubanga njagala ekisa so si ssaddaaka, era n’okumanya Katonda, okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.
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 the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness.
10 Ndabye eby’ekivve mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri; era eyo Efulayimu gye yeeweereddeyo mu bwamalaaya, ne Isirayiri gy’ayonoonekedde.
I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.
11 “Naawe Yuda, amakungula gatuuse. “Bwe ndikomyawo emikisa gy’abantu bange,
And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back captivity of my people.
