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 we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds us up.
2 Afake roe andro le hampiveloma’e, amy andro fahateloy ro hampitroara’e, himoneñan-tika am-pivazohoa’e eo.
He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
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 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 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.
“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 Aa le nihatsafeko amo mpitokio, nizamaneko am-pivolam-bavako; hoe fipelaran-kelatse ty fizakañ’ azo.
Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
6 Toe fiferenaiñañe ty paiako, fa tsy soroñe; naho ty fahafohinañe an’Andrianañahare te amo engan-koroañeo.
For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
7 Fe manahake i Dame t’ie nivalike amy fañinay; izay ty niolà’ iareo amako.
And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Rova’ o mpikitro-draha ratio t’i Gilade, tsitsike lian-dio.
Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from 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 bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
10 Naharendreke haleorañe añ’anjomba’ Israele ao iraho; zoeñe e Efraime ao ty hatsimirirañe, naho naniva vatañe t’Israele.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
11 F’ie nifotoañeko san-kavokaran- drehe r’Iehodà, ie hampoliko ty fandrohizañe ondatikoo.
Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
