1 C ome and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up.

Ina keena aan Rabbiga ku noqonnee, waayo, isagaa ina dillacshay, oo isagaa ina bogsiin doona, isagaa wax inagu dhuftay, oo isagaa nabraheenna inoo duubi doona.

2 A fter two days He will revive us (quicken us, give us life); on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him.

Laba maalmood dabadeed ayuu ina soo noolayn doonaa, oo maalinta saddexaadna wuu ina soo sara kicin doonaa, oo hortiisaynu ku noolaan doonnaa.

3 Y es, let us know (recognize, be acquainted with, and understand) Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.

Oo aynu ogaanno, oo aynu dadaalno inaan Rabbiga ogaanno. Soobixitinkiisa sida subaxda baa loo hubaa, oo wuxuu inoogu iman doonaa sida roobka, sida roobka dambe oo dhulka biyeeya.

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do with you? O Judah, what shall I do with you? For your love and kindness are like the night mist or like the dew that goes early away.

Reer Efrayimow, bal maxaan idinku sameeyaa? Dadka Yahuudahow, bal maxaan idinku sameeyaa? Waayo, wanaaggiinnu waa sida daruurta subaxnimo, iyo sida sayaxa aroor hore baabba'a.

5 T herefore have I hewn down and smitten them by means of the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; My judgments are like the light that goes forth.

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku gooyay gacantii nebiyada, oo waxaan ku laayay erayadii afkayga, oo xukummadayduna waa sidii iftiinka soo baxa.

6 F or I desire and delight in dutiful steadfast love and goodness, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of and acquaintance with God more than burnt offerings.

Waayo, waxaan doonayaa naxariis ee ma aha allabari, oo aqoonta Ilaahna waan ka jeclahay qurbaanno la gubo.

7 B ut they, like men and like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt faithlessly and treacherously with Me.

Laakiinse iyagu sidii Aadan oo kale ayay axdigii ku xadgudbeen, oo halkaasay khiyaano iigula macaamiloodeen.

8 G ilead is a city of evildoers; it is tracked with bloody.

Gilecaad waa magaalada kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya, oo dhiig baa wasakheeyey.

9 A nd as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder on the road toward Shechem; yes, they commit villainy and outrages.

Oo sidii guutooyin shufta ahu ay nin ugu gabbadaan ayaa guuto wadaaddo ahu dhiig ku daadisaa jidka u baxa Shekem, oo wasakhnimo bay sameeyeen.

10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel! There harlotry and idolatry are found in Ephraim; Israel is defiled.

Dadka Israa'iil waxaan ku dhex arkay wax aad iyo aad u xun. Reer Efrayim waxaa laga dhex helay sino, dadka Israa'iilna way nijaasoobeen.

11 A lso, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you; when I would return My people from their captivity,

Dadka Yahuudahow, markaan dadkayga maxaabiisnimada ka soo celiyo, beergoosasho laydiin amray baa idiin taal.
