< Hosea 6 >
1 “Njooni, tumrudie Bwana. Ameturarua vipande vipande lakini atatuponya; ametujeruhi lakini atatufunga majeraha yetu.
Come so let us return to Yahweh for he he has torn to pieces and he will heal us he has struck and he will bind up us.
2 Baada ya siku mbili atatufufua; katika siku ya tatu atatuinua, ili tuweze kuishi mbele zake.
He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.
3 Tumkubali Bwana, tukaze kumkubali yeye. Kutokea kwake ni hakika kama vile kuchomoza kwa jua; atatujia kama mvua za masika, kama vile mvua za vuli ziinyweshavyo nchi.”
And let us know let us pursue to know Yahweh like [the] dawn [is] steadfast going forth his so he may come like the rain to us like [the] spring rain [which] it waters [the] land.
4 “Nifanye nini nawe, Efraimu? Nifanye nini nawe, Yuda? Upendo wako ni kama ukungu wa asubuhi, kama umande wa alfajiri utowekao.
What? will I do to you O Ephraim what? will I do to you O Judah and loyalty your [is] like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going.

There-fore I will cut [them] in pieces by the prophets I will kill them by [the] words of mouth my and judgments your [is] light [which] it goes forth.
6 Kwa maana nataka rehema, wala si dhabihu, kumkubali Mungu zaidi kuliko sadaka za kuteketezwa.
For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Wamevunja Agano kama Adamu: huko hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu.
And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.
8 Gileadi ni mji wenye watu waovu, umetiwa madoa kwa nyayo za damu.
Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.
9 Kama wanyangʼanyi wamviziavyo mtu, ndivyo magenge ya makuhani wafanyavyo; wanaulia watu kwenye njia iendayo Shekemu, wakifanya uhalifu wa aibu.
And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.
10 Nimeona jambo la kutisha katika nyumba ya Israeli. Huko Efraimu amejitolea kwa ukahaba na Israeli amenajisika.
In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Q(k)*) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
11 “Pia kwa ajili yako, Yuda, mavuno yameamriwa. “Wakati wowote ningerejesha neema ya watu wangu,
Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.
