1 "Come on, let's go back to God. He hurt us, but he'll heal us. He hit us hard, but he'll put us right again.
1
in tribulatione sua mane consurgunt ad me venite et revertamur ad Dominum
2 In a couple of days we'll feel better. By the third day he'll have made us brand-new, Alive and on our feet, fit to face him.
2
quia ipse cepit et sanabit nos percutiet et curabit nos
3 We're ready to study God, eager for God-knowledge. As sure as dawn breaks, so sure is his daily arrival. He comes as rain comes, as spring rain refreshing the ground."
3
vivificabit nos post duos dies in die tertia suscitabit nos et vivemus in conspectu eius sciemus sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae
4 "What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What do I make of you, Judah? Your declarations of love last no longer than morning mist and predawn dew.

5 That's why I use prophets to shake you to attention, why my words cut you to the quick: To wake you up to my judgment blazing like light.

6 I'm after love that lasts, not more religion. I want you to know God, not go to more prayer meetings.
6
quia misericordiam volui et non sacrificium et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta

ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum ibi praevaricati sunt in me

in domo Israhel vidi horrendum ibi fornicationes Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel

sed et Iuda pone messem tibi cum convertero captivitatem populi mei
