Koseya 6
1 “Mujje, tudde eri Mukama. Atutaaguddetaagudde, naye alituwonya; atuleeseeko ebiwundu, naye ebiwundu alibinyiga.
“Come! Let’s return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and 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.
After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will 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.”
Let’s acknowledge the LORD. Let’s press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, the LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters 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 to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.
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 cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgements are like a flash of lightning.
6 Kubanga njagala ekisa so si ssaddaaka, era n’okumanya Katonda, okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Okufaanana nga Adamu, bamenye endagaano, tebaali beesigwa.
But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me there.
8 Gireyaadi kibuga ky’abakozi ba bibi, era engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained 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.
As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder on the path towards Shechem, committing shameful crimes.
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 prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.
11 “Naawe Yuda, amakungula gatuuse. “Bwe ndikomyawo emikisa gy’abantu bange,
“Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.
