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.
"Come, and let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.
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 revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before 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 acknowledge the LORD. Let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, The LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters 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.
"Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.
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 I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6 Nítorí àánú ni mo fẹ́, kì í ṣe ẹbọ; àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run ju ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lọ.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Bí i Adamu, wọ́n da májẹ̀mú wọ́n jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí mi níbẹ̀.
But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.
8 Gileadi jẹ́ ìlú àwọn ènìyàn búburú tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, a sí ti fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bà á jẹ́.
Gilead is a city of evildoers; it is stained with blood.
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.
As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem, committing shameful crimes.
10 Mo ti rí ohun tó ba ni lẹ́rù ní ilé Israẹli. Níbẹ̀ Efraimu, fi ara rẹ̀ fún àgbèrè Israẹli sì di aláìmọ́.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing. There is prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.
11 “Àti fún ìwọ, Juda, a ti yan ọjọ́ ìkórè rẹ. “Nígbà tí mo bá fẹ́ dá ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi padà,
"For you also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.
