Koseya 6
1 “Mujje, tudde eri Mukama. Atutaaguddetaagudde, naye alituwonya; atuleeseeko ebiwundu, naye ebiwundu alibinyiga.
“Come on! Let's go back to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but now he will heal us. He has struck us down, but now he will bind up our wounds.
2 Oluvannyuma olw’ennaku bbiri alituzzaamu obulamu, era ku lunaku olwokusatu alituzza buggya, ne tubeera balamu mu maaso ge.
In two days he will heal us; after three days he will raise us up so we can live in his presence.

Let's get to know the Lord, really strive to know him, and he will appear to us as surely as the sun will rise; he will come to us as certainly as the spring rains fall on the earth.”
4 Nkukolere ki, Efulayimu? Nkukolere ki, Yuda? Okwagala kwo kuli ng’olufu olw’enkya, era ng’omusulo ogw’enkya ogukala amangu.
Ephraim, what shall I do with you? Judah, what shall I do with you? Your love disappears like mist at dawn; it vanishes like dew in the morning.

6 Kubanga njagala ekisa so si ssaddaaka, era n’okumanya Katonda, okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
I want your true love, not your sacrifices; I want you to know me, not your burnt offerings.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.
But you, just like Adam, broke our agreement, there you were unfaithful to me.
8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Gilead is a city of evil people where footprints are tracked in 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.
Priests are like a gang of bandits, lying in wait to ambush travelers on the road. They commit murder in Shechem, carrying out wicked crimes.
