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,

Gods verlangen naar Israël
6 ‘Zij zullen zeggen: “Kom, laten we teruggaan naar de Here. Hij heeft ons verscheurd, Hij zal ons ook genezen. Hij heeft ons geslagen, Hij zal ook onze wonden verbinden. 2 Hij zal ons na twee dagen weer overeind helpen en op de derde dag zullen wij, weer helemaal opgeknapt, met Hem leven. 3 Ja, wij verlangen naar de Here en Hij zal daarop reageren, zo zeker als de komst van dauw of regen in het vroege voorjaar.”
4 Wat zal Ik met u doen, Israël en Juda? Want uw liefde verdwijnt als wolken in de morgen en verdampt als dauw in de vroege ochtend. 5 Ik stuurde mijn profeten om u te waarschuwen voor uw ondergang. Ik heb u harde klappen toegebracht met mijn woorden en met de dood bedreigd. Onverwacht werd u getroffen door mijn veroordeling, als door een plotseling doorbrekend licht. 6 Ik wil uw offers niet, Ik wil uw liefde. Ik hoef uw brandoffers niet, Ik wil dat u Mij kent.
7 Maar u bent net als Adam: u hebt mijn verbond verbroken en bent Mij zo ontrouw geworden. 8 De bewoners van Gilead zijn misdadigers, de stad is vol bloedsporen. 9 Zij zijn als een bende bandieten die loert op slachtoffers. Troepen priesters plegen moorden op de weg naar Sichem en bedrijven schandelijke misdaden. 10 Ik heb in Israël iets afschuwelijks gezien: Israël liep afgoden achterna en werd zo verontreinigd. 11 Ook u, Juda, zult uw straf nog oogsten. En Ik wilde u zo graag bevrijden!’
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.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以色列和犹大不思悔改
6 来吧,让我们归向耶和华!
祂撕裂我们,也必医治我们;
祂击打我们,也必为我们裹伤。
2 过两天,祂必复兴我们;
第三天,祂必使我们站立起来,
在祂面前存活。
3 让我们认识耶和华,
竭力认识耶和华!
祂必到来,
如同必然显露的曙光,
又如滋润大地的春雨。
4 耶和华说:
“以法莲啊,我该怎样待你呢?
犹大啊,我该怎样待你呢?
你们对我的爱像晨雾,
如转瞬即逝的朝露。
5 所以,我差遣先知用我的话杀戮你们,
我的审判必如闪电临到你们。
6 我喜爱怜悯之心,而非祭物;
我喜爱人认识我,胜于燔祭。
7 可是,你们却如亚当一样背约,
以诡诈待我。
8 基列是罪恶之城,
到处血迹斑斑。
9 祭司如同暗中抢劫的强盗,
成群结伙地作恶,
在通往示剑的路上谋害无辜。
10 我在以色列家看见了可怕之事,
以法莲不忠不贞,玷污了自己。
11 犹大啊,
你必得到我给你定的下场[a]。
“每当我要使子民复兴的时候,
