Oséias 6

Te Rīpenetānga Kōpūrau a te Iwi

1 "Haere mai, tātou ka hoki ki a Ihowā:

nāna hoki i haehae, ā, māna tātou e rongoā;

nāna i patu, māna anō tātou e takai.

2 Kia rua ngā rā ka whakaorangia tātou e ia;

i te toru o ngā rā ka whakaarahia tātou e ia,

ā, ka ora tātou ki tōna aroaro.

3 Nā, kia mōhio tātou, kia whai atu tātou kia mōhio ai ki a Ihowā;

ko tōna putanga tūturu tonu,

koia anō kei tō te ata,

ko tōna taenga mai ki a tātou rite tonu ki tō te ua,

ka rite ki tō muri ua e mākūkū ai te whenua."

4 "Me pēhea koe e ahau, e Ēparaima?

Me pēhea koe e ahau, e Hūrā?

Rite tonu hoki tō koutou pai ki te kapua o te ata,

ki te tōmairangi o te atatū, e riro wawe atu ana.

5 Nā reira tāku hahau i a rātou ki ngā poropiti;

tukitukia ana rātou e ahau ki ngā kupu a tōku māngai;

rite tonu anō āu whakaritenga ki te putanga ake o te mārama.

6 Ko tāku hoki i pai ai ko te tohu tangata,

hāunga te patunga tapu.

Ko te mātau ki te Atua,

pai ake i ngā tahunga tinana.

7 "Otiia, kua pērā tā rātou i tā Ārama,

kua whakatakā e rātou te kawenata;

kua tinihanga rātou ki ahau i reira.

8 He pā a Kireara nō ngā kaimahi i te hē,

poke tonu i te toto.

9 Rite tonu hoki ki tā ngā taua pāhua e whanga ana ki te tangata,

tā te rōpū o ngā tohunga,

kōhuru i te ara ki Hekeme;

āe rā, kua mahi rātou i te hē.

10 He hanga whakawehi tāku i kite ai ki te whare o Īharaira;

he pūremu e kitea ana ki Ēparaima, kua poke a Īharaira.

11 "Kua rite hoki

he kotinga māu, e Hūrā.

"Ina whakahokia mai e ahau tāku iwi i te whakarau."

1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; 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: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth 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 dew that goeth early 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 desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. 7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with blood. 9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness. 10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
