Hosea 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 In their affliction, they shall look for me: "Come, let us return to the LORD, For it is he who has rent, but he will heal us; he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds.	1 “Venite, et revertamur ad Do minum, quia ipse laceravit et sanabit nos, percussit et curabit nos.
2 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, to live in his presence.	2 Vivificabit nos post duos dies, in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu eius.
3 Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD; as certain as the dawn is his coming, and his judgment shines forth like the light of day! He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth."	3 Sciamus sequamurque, ut cognoscamus Dominum. Quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus, quasi imber serotinus irrigans terram”.
4 What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your piety is like a morning cloud, like the dew that early passes away.	4 Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim? Quid faciam tibi, Iuda? Caritas vestra quasi nubes matutina et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 For this reason I smote them through the prophets, I slew them by the words of my mouth;	5 Propter hoc dolavi per prophetas, occidi eos in verbis oris mei, sed ius meum quasi lux egredietur;
6 For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.	6 quia caritatem volo et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.
7 But they, in their land, violated the covenant; there they were untrue to me.	7 Ipsi autem in Adam transgressi sunt pactum; ibi praevaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.	8 Galaad civitas operantium iniquitatem maculata sanguine.
9 As brigands ambush a man, a band of priests slay on the way to Shechem, committing monstrous crime.	9 Et quasi insidiantes virum latrones caterva sacerdotum; in via interficiunt pergentes Sichem, vere scelus operantur.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.	10 In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest has been appointed.	11 Sed et tibi, Iuda, parata est messis, cum convertero sortem populi mei.
