Hosea 6
1 Antao, himpoly am’ Iehovà tika; Ie ty nandrimitse, naho ie ty hampijangañe antika, Ie ty namofoke, naho ie ty hampidiañe antika.
'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
2 Afake roe andro le hampiveloma’e, amy andro fahateloy ro hampitroara’e, himoneñan-tika am-pivazohoa’e eo.
After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 Le hahafohiñe tika, naho himane hahafohiñe Iehovà; Mionjoñe re manahake ty manjirik’àndro; le hivotrak’ amantika manahake o orañeo, i oram-pigadoñañey, naho i orañe aolo an-tane atoiy.
And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
4 Ry Efraime, ino ty hanoako ama’o? Ry Iehodà, ino ty hanoako azo? Hoe mika ty hasoa’o; mimeatse añe te maraindray manahake o misafononokeo.
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

6 Toe fiferenaiñañe ty paiako, fa tsy soroñe; naho ty fahafohinañe an’Andrianañahare te amo engan-koroañeo.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
7 Fe manahake i Dame t’ie nivalike amy fañinay; izay ty niolà’ iareo amako.
But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Rova’ o mpikitro-draha ratio t’i Gilade, tsitsike lian-dio.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
9 Hoe firimbo-malaso mivoñoñe ondaty, ty fañohofa’ i fivorim-pisoroñey loza an-tevan-dala’ i Sekème eo; toe haloloañe ty anoe’ iereo;
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 F’ie nifotoañeko san-kavokaran- drehe r’Iehodà, ie hampoliko ty fandrohizañe ondatikoo.
