Koseya 6
1 “Mujje, tudde eri Mukama. Atutaaguddetaagudde, naye alituwonya; atuleeseeko ebiwundu, naye ebiwundu alibinyiga.
“Come, and we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds us up.
2 Oluvannyuma olw’ennaku bbiri alituzzaamu obulamu, era ku lunaku olwokusatu alituzza buggya, ne tubeera balamu mu maaso ge.
He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
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.”
And we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn 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 do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.
5 Kyenvudde nkozesa bannabbi okubasalaasala ebitundutundu, ne mbatta n’ebigambo eby’omu kamwa kange, era ne mbasalira emisango ng’okumyansa okw’eggulu.
Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
6 Kubanga njagala ekisa so si ssaddaaka, era n’okumanya Katonda, okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.
And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from 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 as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
10 Ndabye eby’ekivve mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri; era eyo Efulayimu gye yeeweereddeyo mu bwamalaaya, ne Isirayiri gy’ayonoonekedde.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
11 “Naawe Yuda, amakungula gatuuse. “Bwe ndikomyawo emikisa gy’abantu bange,
Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
