< Hosea 6 >

1 “Njoo, turudi kwa Bwana. Kwa maana ametuvunja vipande vipande, lakini atatuponya; ametujeruhi, lakini atatufunga majeraha yetu.
Come so let us return to Yahweh for he he has torn to pieces and he will heal us he has struck and he will bind up us.
2 Baada ya siku mbili atatufufua; siku ya tatu atatuinua, na tutaishi mbele yake.
He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.
3 Nasi tumjue Bwana; tukaendelee kumjua Bwana. Kuja kwake ni hakika kama asubuhi; atakuja kwetu kama mvua, kama mvua ya vuli ambayo huinyeshea ardhi.”
And let us know let us pursue to know Yahweh like [the] dawn [is] steadfast going forth his so he may come like the rain to us like [the] spring rain [which] it waters [the] land.
4 Efuraimu, nikufanyie nini? Yuda, nikufanyie nini? Uaminifu wako ni kama wingu la asubuhi, kama umande unaoondoka mapema.
What? will I do to you O Ephraim what? will I do to you O Judah and loyalty your [is] like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going.
5 Kwa hiyo nimewavunja vipande vipande kwa vinywa vya manabii, nimewaua kwa maneno ya kinywa changu. Maagizo yako ni kama nuru inayoangaza.
There-fore I will cut [them] in pieces by the prophets I will kill them by [the] words of mouth my and judgments your [is] light [which] it goes forth.
6 Kwa maana natamani uaminifu wala si dhabihu, na kumjua Mungu kuliko sadaka za kuteketezwa.
For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Kama Adamu wamevunja agano; hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu.
And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.
8 Gileadi ni jiji la wahalifu wenye miguu ya damu.
Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.
9 Kama makundi ya wanyang'anyi wanaomngojea mtu, hivyo makuhani hujiunga pamoja kufanya mauaji kwa njia ya Shekemu; wamefanya uhalifu wa aibu.
And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.
10 Katika nyumba ya Israeli nimeona jambo baya; Uzinzi wa Efraimu ukopale, na Israeli ametiwa unajisi.
In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Qk) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
11 Kwa maana wewe, Yuda, mavuno yameteuliwa, nitakaporudisha urithi wa watu wangu.
Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.
