Hosea 6

1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

in tribulatione sua mane consurgunt ad me venite et revertamur ad Dominum

2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.

quia ipse cepit et sanabit nos percutiet et curabit nos

3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

vivificabit nos post duos dies in die tertia suscitabit nos et vivemus in conspectu eius sciemus sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.

quid faciam tibi Ephraim quid faciam tibi Iuda misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina et quasi ros mane pertransiens

5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are [as] the light that goeth forth.

propter hoc dolavi in prophetis occidi eos in verbis oris mei et iudicia tua quasi lux egredientur

6 For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

quia misericordiam volui et non sacrificium et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta

7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum ibi praevaricati sunt in me

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with blood.

Galaad civitas operantium idolum subplantata sanguine

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.

et quasi fauces virorum latronum particeps sacerdotum in via interficientium pergentes de Sychem quia scelus operati sunt

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

in domo Israhel vidi horrendum ibi fornicationes Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel

11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people.

sed et Iuda pone messem tibi cum convertero captivitatem populi mei
