Hosea 6
1 “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a padà sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ó ti fà wá ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ ṣùgbọ́n yóò mú wa láradá Ó ti pa wá lára ṣùgbọ́n yóò dí ojú ọgbẹ́ wa.
In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will strike, and bind us up.
2 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méjì, yóò sọ wá jí ní ọjọ́ kẹta yóò mú wa padà bọ̀ sípò kí a ba à le wá gbé níwájú rẹ̀.
After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
3 Ẹ jẹ́ kí a mọ Olúwa; ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ̀síwájú láti mọ̀ ọ́n. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí oòrùn ṣe ń yọ, yóò jáde; yóò tọ̀ wá wá bí òjò, bí òjò àkọ́rọ̀ ti ń bomirin ilẹ̀.”
let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
4 “Kí ni èmi ó ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ, Efraimu? Kí ni èmi ó ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ, Juda? Ìfẹ́ rẹ dàbí ìkùùkuu òwúrọ̀ bí ìrì ìdájí tí ó kọjá lọ kíákíá.
What shall I do to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
5 Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe gé e yín sí wẹ́wẹ́ láti ọwọ́ àwọn wòlíì, Mo pa yín pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi, ìdájọ́ mi tàn bí i mọ̀nàmọ́ná lórí yín.
Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
6 Nítorí àánú ni mo fẹ́, kì í ṣe ẹbọ; àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run ju ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lọ.
For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.
7 Bí i Adamu, wọ́n da májẹ̀mú wọ́n jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí mi níbẹ̀.
But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
8 Gileadi jẹ́ ìlú àwọn ènìyàn búburú tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, a sí ti fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bà á jẹ́.
there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
9 Bí adigunjalè ṣe ń ba ní bùba de àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àlùfáà, ń parapọ̀; tí wọ́n sì ń pànìyàn lójú ọ̀nà tó lọ sí Ṣekemu, tí wọ́n sì ń dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ti ni lójú.
And your strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
10 Mo ti rí ohun tó ba ni lẹ́rù ní ilé Israẹli. Níbẹ̀ Efraimu, fi ara rẹ̀ fún àgbèrè Israẹli sì di aláìmọ́.
I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
11 “Àti fún ìwọ, Juda, a ti yan ọjọ́ ìkórè rẹ. “Nígbà tí mo bá fẹ́ dá ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi padà,
begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
