Hosi 11
1 Isarel teh a nawca hoi ka lungpataw teh, ka capa hah Izip ram hoi ka kaw toe.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
2 Ka kaw navah hoe a yawng awh teh, Baal koe thuengnae a sak teh, meikaphawknaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh.
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
3 Ephraim hah a kut dawk hoi ka kuet teh lamcei ka pâtu. Hatei, kaie khetyawtnae hah panuek hoeh.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Tami hrawinae, lungpatawnae rui hoi ka sawn. A lahuen dawk e yawcu hah a kam koelah ka pahout pouh teh rawca hah ka paca.
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man smiting [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
5 Nang koe ka tho mahoeh titeh, a kangek dawkvah, Izip ram lah bout ban mahoeh. Assiria siangpahrang ni a uk awh han.
Ephraim dwelt in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
6 Amamae pouknae hah raphoe lah ao han. Tahloi teh a onae koe khothung phat vaiteh, siangpahrang hah a thei awh han.
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
7 Ka taminaw teh kai koehoi lam pou a phen awh. A lathueng poung e Cathut koe ka kaw eiteh, hote Cathut hah apinihai talue sak han ngai hoeh.
and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
8 Oe Ephraim, bangtelah hoi maw nang hah na pahnim thai han. Oe Isarel, nang hah bangtelah hoi maw na hnoun thai han. Nang teh Adamah kho patetlah bangtelah hoi maw na o sak thai han. Zeboiim kho patetlah bangtelah hoi maw na ta thai han. Ka lungthin a kâthung teh, puenghoi lungpatawnae ka tawn.
How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
9 Puenghoi ka lungkhuek e patetlah ka sak ngaihoeh. Ephraim hah boutbout ka raphoe ngaihoeh. Kai teh tami nahoeh Cathut doeh. Khothung kaawm e tami nahoeh eiteh, nangmouh koe kaawm e kathounge Cathut lah ka o.
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Nangmouh teh Cathut koe na kâbang awh han. Sendek patetlah na huk awh han. A huk toteh a canaw kanîloumlah hoi karangpounglah a tho awh han.
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
11 Baritca patetlah Izip ram lahoi thoseh, bakhu patetlah Assiria ram lahoi thoseh, karanglah yawng awh vaiteh, amamouh onae hmuen koe hmuen ka poe han telah Cathut ni a ti.
They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
12 Ephraim ni laithoe hoi thoseh, Isarel ni dumyennae hoi thoseh, kai hah na tarawk awh toe. Judah nihai, kathoung ni teh yuemkamcu e Cathut koehoi lam a phen teh a kâva toe.
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
