Hosea 11
1 “Ka Israel ne pod nyathi, ne ahere, kendo ne aluongo wuoda ka agolo Misri.
“Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
2 To kaka ne amedo luongo Israel e kaka nomedo dhi mabor koda. Negichiwo misengini ne Baal kendo wangʼo ubani ne kido molosi.
They have called to them correctly, They have gone from before them, They sacrifice to lords, And make incense to carved images.
3 An owuon ema napuonjo Efraim wuotho, ka amakogi gi bedegi, to ne ok gifwenyo ni ne en An mane ochangogi.
And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
4 Ne atelonegi gi ngʼwono mathoth kaachiel gihera ma ok rum; ne agolo jok mapek e ngʼutgi kendo akulora piny mondo apidhgi.
I draw them with cords of man, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline to him—I feed [him].
5 “Donge ginidog Misri kendo Asuria nobedi gi loch kuomgi, nikech gitamore weyo richogi?
He does not return to the land of Egypt, And Asshur—he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
6 Ligangla nomil e miechgi madongo manoketh lodi mag rangeyegi, kendo chenro duto magin-go norum.
The sword has been grievous in his cities, And it has ended his bars, and consumed—from their own counsels.
7 Joga oramo chuth mondo oweya. Kata giluong Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, to ok notingʼ-gi malo e yo moro amora.
And My people are hanging in suspense about My returning, And to the Most High they call, Together they do not exalt.
8 “Ere kaka anyalo jwangʼou, Efraim? Ere kaka dabolu Israel? Ere kaka datiu ka Adma? Ere kaka damiu ubed machal gi Zeboim? Ok anyal timonu kamano; nikech aseloko pacha kendo akechou.
How do I give you up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver you up, O Israel? How do I make you as Admah? Do I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned in Me, My sympathy has been kindled together.
9 Ok anaol mirimba mager bende ok analokra mi aketh Efraim bende. Nimar an Nyasaye, ok an dhano, Jal Maler e dieru. Ok anabi gi mirima.
I do not do the fierceness of My anger, I do not turn back to destroy Ephraim, For I [am] God, and not a man—The Holy One in your midst, and I do not enter in enmity.
10 Gibiro luwo Jehova Nyasaye, noruti ka sibuor. Kuruto, to nyithinde duto nobi ire katetni kagiwuok yo podho chiengʼ.
They go after YHWH—He roars as a lion, When He roars, then the sons from the west tremble.
11 Ginibi ire ka gitetni ka winy moa Misri, ka akuche moa Asuria. Anami gibed e miechgi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses,” A declaration of YHWH.
12 Efraim oselwora gi miriambo, od jo-Israel en kar wuond. Juda ok winj Nyasaye; adier ok giwinj Jal Maler ma ja-adiera.
“Ephraim has surrounded Me with feigning, And the house of Israel with deceit. And Judah is again ruling with God, And [is] faithful with the Holy Ones!”
