Hosea 6
Magandang Balita Biblia
Hindi Taos ang Pagsisisi ng Israel
6 “Halikayo, tayo'y manumbalik kay Yahweh;
    sapagkat ang nanakit ay siya ring magpapagaling.
Siya ang nanugat, kaya't siya rin ang gagamot.
2 Sa loob ng dalawang araw ay mapapalakas niya tayo;
    sa ikatlong araw, tayo'y kanyang ibabangon,
    upang tayo'y mabuhay sa kanyang harapan.
3 Halikayo't kilalanin natin si Yahweh, sikapin nating siya'y makilala.
    Kasintiyak ng pagdating ng bukang-liwayway, darating siyang walang pagsala,
tulad ng patak ng ulan sa panahon ng taglamig,
    tulad ng tubig-ulan na nagpapasibol sa mga halaman.”
Ang Tugon ni Yahweh
4 “Ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo, Efraim?
    Ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo, Juda?
Ang pag-ibig ninyo sa akin ay tulad ng ulap sa umaga,
    gaya ng hamog na dagling napapawi.
5 Kaya nga, pinarusahan ko kayo sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta,
    at pinagpapatay sa pamamagitan ng aking mga salita;
    simbilis ng kidlat ang katuparan ng aking[a] hatol.
6 Sapagkat(A) wagas na pag-ibig ang nais ko at hindi handog,
    pagkilala sa Diyos sa halip na handog na sinusunog.
7 “Ngunit tulad ni Adan ay sumira kayo sa ating kasunduan,
    nagtaksil kayo sa aking pag-ibig.
8 Ang Gilead ay lunsod ng mga makasalanan,
    tigmak sa dugo ang mga lansangan nito.
9 Nagkakaisa ang mga pari,
    parang mga tulisang nag-aabang sa bibiktimahin.
Pumapatay sila sa daang patungo sa Shekem;
    mabigat na kasalanan ang ginagawa nila.
10 Kahindik-hindik ang nakita ko sa sambahayan ni Israel.
    Ang Efraim ay nalulong na sa kalaswaan; ang Israel naman ay nahandusay sa putikan.
11 “Nakatakda na rin ang parusa sa iyo, Juda,
    sa sandaling ibalik ko ang kasaganaan ng aking bayan.

Hosea 6
King James Version
6 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
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 unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
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 early dew it goeth away.
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.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
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.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Hosea 6
New King James Version
A Call to Repentance
6 Come,(A) and let us return to the Lord;
For (B)He has torn, but (C)He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.
2 (D)After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 (E)Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established (F)as the morning;
(G)He will come to us (H)like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Impenitence of Israel and Judah
4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by (I)the words of My mouth;
And [b]your judgments are like light that goes forth.
6 For I desire (J)mercy[c] and (K)not sacrifice,
And the (L)knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 “But like [d]men they transgressed the covenant;
There they dealt treacherously with Me.
8 (M)Gilead is a city of evildoers
And [e]defiled with blood.
9 As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man,
So the company of (N)priests (O)murder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they commit (P)lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel:
There is the [f]harlotry of Ephraim;
Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you,
When I return the captives of My people.
Hosea 6
English Standard Version
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,

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)

    a harvest(Y) is appointed.
