< Hosea 11 >

1 Israel khaw camoe dae anih te ka lungnah tih Egypt lamloh kamah ca la ka khue coeng.
When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
2 Amih te a khue uh dongah amih mikhmuh lamloh cet uh. Baal taengah a nawn uh tih mueidaep taengah phum uh.
They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
3 Kai loh Ephraim te caeh ka tuk. Amih te a ban ah ka mawt dae amih ka hoeih sak te a ming uh moenih.
I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.
4 Amih te hlang kah rhuihet neh, lungnah rhuivaeh neh ka mawt. Amih taengah amih kam lamkah hnamkun aka suh pah la ka om. Te dongah ka yueng uh tih anih te ka cah.
I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
5 Mael hamla a aal uh dongah Egypt khohmuen la mael pawt vetih Assyria te a manghai nah ni.
He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
6 A khopuei ah cunghang tinghil vetih a thohkalh a khah pah ni. A cilkhih te a dolh pah ni.
And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
7 Ka pilnam khaw kai lamloh hnuknong la kingkaek coeng. Amah te a sosang la a khue akhaw huek a pomsang uh moenih.
And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.
8 Ephraim nang te metlam kang khueh eh? Israel nang te metlam kan tloeng eh? Nang te Admah bangla kang khueh nim? Nang te Zeboiim bangla kang khueh nim? Ka lungbuei he ka khuiah a maelh tih kai kah hloephoelhnah khaw rhenten tloo.
Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.
9 Ka thintoek thinsa neh ka saii mahpawh. Ephraim phae ham khaw ka mael mahpawh. Kai tah Pathen tih hlang moenih. Na khui ah ka cim tih khopuei ah ka kun mahpawh.
I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
10 BOEIPA hnukah sathueng bangla pongpa uh vetih kawk ni. Anih a kawk van neh khotlak lamkah camoe rhoek lakueng uh.
They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
11 Egypt lamkah vaa neh Assyria khohmuen lamkah vahui bangla lakueng uh ni. Te vaengah amih te amamih im ah ka om sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
12 Kai he Ephraim kah laithae nen khaw, Israel im kah thailatnah nen khaw m'vael uh. Judah tah Pathen taengah van tih a cim te a tangnah pueng.
Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
