Hosea 6
New International Version
Israel Unrepentant
6 “Come, let us return(A) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(B)
but he will heal us;(C)
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.(D)
2 After two days he will revive us;(E)
on the third day(F) he will restore(G) us,
that we may live in his presence.
3 Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,(H)
like the spring rains that water the earth.(I)”
4 “What can I do with you, Ephraim?(J)
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.(K)
5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth(L)—
then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](M)
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,(N)
and acknowledgment(O) of God rather than burnt offerings.(P)
7 As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(Q)
they were unfaithful(R) to me there.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,(S)
stained with footprints of blood.
9 As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,(T)
so do bands of priests;
they murder(U) on the road to Shechem,
carrying out their wicked schemes.(V)
10 I have seen a horrible(W) thing in Israel:
There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
Israel is defiled.(X)
11 “Also for you, Judah,
a harvest(Y) is appointed.
“Whenever I would restore the fortunes(Z) of my people,

Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant
6 “Come, let us (A)return to the Lord;
for (B)he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and (C)he will bind us up.
2 After two days (D)he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
3 (E)Let us know; (F)let us press on to know the Lord;
(G)his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us (H)as the showers,
(I)as the spring rains that water the earth.”
4 What shall I do with you, (J)O (K)Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O (L)Judah?
Your love is (M)like a morning cloud,
(N)like the dew that goes early away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have slain them (O)by the words of my mouth,
and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6 For (P)I desire steadfast love[a] and not sacrifice,
(Q)the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 But (R)like Adam they (S)transgressed the covenant;
(T)there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 (U)Gilead is a city of evildoers,
(V)tracked with blood.
9 As robbers (W)lie in wait for a man,
so the priests band together;
they murder on the way to (X)Shechem;
they commit villainy.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
(Y)Ephraim's whoredom is there; (Z)Israel is defiled.
When (AC)I restore the fortunes of my people,

6 Ejani, të kthehemi tek Zoti, sepse ai na ka copëtuar, por do të na shërojë; na ka goditur, por do të na mbështjellë.
2 Mbas dy ditësh do të na japë përsëri jetë, ditën e tretë do të na ringjallë dhe ne do të jetojmë në prani të tij.
3 E njohim Zotin, të përpiqemi ta njohim më mirë; ardhja e tij është e sigurt si agimi. Ai do të na vijë si shiu, si shiu i fundit dhe i parë mbi tokë.
4 "Çfarë duhet të bëj me ty, o Efraim? Çfarë duhet të bëj me ty, o Judë? Dashuria juaj është si një re e mëngjesit, si vesa që në mëngjes zhduket shpejt.
5 Prandaj i kam prerë me anë të profetëve, i kam vrarë me fjalët e gojës sime dhe gjykimet e mia për ju janë si drita që lind.
6 Sepse unë dëshiroj mëshirë dhe jo flijimet, dhe njohjen e Perëndisë më shumë se olokaustet.
7 Por, si Adami, ata kanë shkelur besëlidhjen, kanë vepruar me mashtrim ndaj meje.
8 Galaadi është një qytet keqbërësish dhe i përlyer me gjak.
9 Ashtu si bandat e cubave rrinë në pritë për një njeri, kështu një turmë priftërinjsh masakron në rrugën e Sikemit, kryen gjëra të kobshme.
10 Në shtëpinë e Izraelit pashë diçka të neveritshme: atje kurvërohet Efraimi, atje ndotet Izraeli.
11 Edhe për ty, o Judë, është rezervuar një korrje, kur do ta kthej popullin tim nga robëria".
