< Hosea 6 >

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum:
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos: percutiet, et curabit nos.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
Vivificabit nos post duos dies: in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu eius. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum præparatus est egressus eius, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terræ.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth 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 desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plusquam holocausta.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum, ibi prævaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem: quia scelus operati sunt.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim: contaminatus est Israel.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Sed et Iuda pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.
