For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.

8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted 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.
