Hooseʼaa 6
1 “Kottaa gara Waaqayyootti deebinaa. Inni nu ciccireera; garuu nu fayyisa; inni nu madeesseera; garuu madaa keenya ni waldhaana.
Come, and let vs returne to the Lord: for he hath spoyled, and he will heale vs: he hath wounded vs, and he will binde vs vp.
2 Akka nu fuula isaa dura jiraannuuf, guyyaa lama booddee nu bayyanachiisa; guyyaa sadaffaatti immoo deebisee nu dhaaba.
After two dayes will he reuiue vs, and in the third day he will raise vs vp, and we shall liue in his sight.
3 Kottaa Waaqayyoon haa beeknu; isa beekuufis haa tattaaffannu. Akkuma aduun dhugumaan baatu sana inni dhugumaan ni dhufa; inni akkuma bokkaa gannaa, akkuma bokkaa birraa kan lafa quubsu sanaatti gara keenya ni dhufa.
Then shall we haue knowledge, and indeuour our selues to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come vnto vs as the raine, and as the latter raine vnto the earth.
4 “Yaa Efreem, ani maalan si godha? Yaa Yihuudaa, ani maalan si godha? Jaalalli keessan akkuma hurrii ganamaa, akkuma fixeensa barii baduu ti.
O Ephraim, what shall I doe vnto thee? O Iudah, how shall I intreate thee? for your goodnesse is as a morning cloude, and as the morning dewe it goeth away.
5 Kanaafuu ani raajota kootiin isin cicciree dubbii afaan kootiin isin fixe; murtiin koos akkuma aduu ni baʼa.
Therefore haue I cut downe by the Prophets: I haue slaine them by the wordes of my mouth, and thy iudgements were as the light that goeth forth.
6 Ani araaran fedha malee aarsaa hin fedhuutii; aarsaa gubamu caalaa Waaqa beekuu nan fedha.
For I desired mercie, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more then burnt offrings.
7 Isaan akkuma Addaam kakuu cabsaniiru; achittis anaaf hin amanamne.
But they like men haue transgressed the couenant: there haue they trespassed against me.
8 Giliʼaad magaalaa hamootaa kan dhiigaan faalamtee dha.
Gilead is a citie of them that worke iniquitie, and is polluted with blood.
9 Akkuma saamtuun riphxee nama eeggattu sana, gareen lubootaas akkasuma godhu; isaan yakka qaanessaa hojjechuudhaan karaa Sheekem irratti nama ajjeesu.
And as the eues waite for a man, so the companie of Priestes murder in the way by consent: for they worke mischiefe.
10 Ani mana Israaʼel keessatti waan suukaneessaa tokko argeera. Achitti Efreem ni sagaagale; Israaʼelis ni xuraaʼe.
I haue seene vileny in the house of Israel: there is ye whoredome of Ephraim: Israel is defiled.
11 “Yaa Yihuudaa sittis haamamuun murteeffameera. “Yeroo ani boojuu saba koo deebisutti,
Yea, Iudah hath set a plant for thee, whiles I woulde returne ye captiuitie of my people.
