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 Jehovah! For he hath torn, and he will heal us; He hath smitten, and he will 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 will he revive us, On the third day he will raise us up, And we shall live in his presence,
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, therefore, know him; Let us ever strive to know Jehovah, His coming forth is sure as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter rain which watereth 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.
O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is like the morning cloud, And like the early dew, which vanisheth 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 I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth, And my judgments have gone forth like the light.
6 Nítorí àánú ni mo fẹ́, kì í ṣe ẹbọ; àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run ju ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lọ.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
7 Bí i Adamu, wọ́n da májẹ̀mú wọ́n jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí mi níbẹ̀.
But they, after the manner of men, have transgressed the covenant; Even therein have they dealt unfaithfully with me.
8 Gileadi jẹ́ ìlú àwọn ènìyàn búburú tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, a sí ti fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bà á jẹ́.
Gilead is a city of them that do iniquity; She is full of footsteps of 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 troops of robbers lying in wait for a man, so is the company of priests; They murder in the way to Shechem; Yea, they commit heinous wickedness.
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 a horrible thing in the house of Israel; There Ephraim committeth fornication, Israel is polluted.
11 “Àti fún ìwọ, Juda, a ti yan ọjọ́ ìkórè rẹ. “Nígbà tí mo bá fẹ́ dá ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi padà,
For thee also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed.
