Hosea 6 — parallel

6:1

Venez, retournons à l’Éternel!

Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.

6:2

Il nous rendra la vie dans deux jours;

After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

6:3

Connaissons, cherchons à connaître l’Éternel;

So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

6:4

Que te ferai-je, Éphraïm?

What shall I do with you, ? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.

6:5

C’est pourquoi je les frapperai par les prophètes,

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

6:6

Car j’aime la piété et non les sacrifices,

For I desire mercy, not , and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

6:7

Ils ont, comme le vulgaire, transgressé l’alliance;

But they, like Adam, the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.

6:8

Galaad est une ville de malfaiteurs,

Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.

6:9

La troupe des sacrificateurs est comme une bande en embuscade,

Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.

6:10

Dans la maison d’Israël j’ai vu des choses horribles:

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.

6:11

A toi aussi, Juda, une moisson est préparée,

Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people .
