Hosi 11
1 Isarel teh a nawca hoi ka lungpataw teh, ka capa hah Izip ram hoi ka kaw toe.
WHEN Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Ka kaw navah hoe a yawng awh teh, Baal koe thuengnae a sak teh, meikaphawknaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Ephraim hah a kut dawk hoi ka kuet teh lamcei ka pâtu. Hatei, kaie khetyawtnae hah panuek hoeh.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; 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.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5 Nang koe ka tho mahoeh titeh, a kangek dawkvah, Izip ram lah bout ban mahoeh. Assiria siangpahrang ni a uk awh han.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Amamae pouknae hah raphoe lah ao han. Tahloi teh a onae koe khothung phat vaiteh, siangpahrang hah a thei awh han.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
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 my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would 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 give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
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 execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of 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.
They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
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 tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in 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 compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
