Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
“Ka Israel ne pod nyathi, ne ahere, kendo ne aluongo wuoda ka agolo Misri.
2 But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
To kaka ne amedo luongo Israel e kaka nomedo dhi mabor koda. Negichiwo misengini ne Baal kendo wangʼo ubani ne kido molosi.
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
An owuon ema napuonjo Efraim wuotho, ka amakogi gi bedegi, to ne ok gifwenyo ni ne en An mane ochangogi.
4 I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
Ne atelonegi gi ngʼwono mathoth kaachiel gihera ma ok rum; ne agolo jok mapek e ngʼutgi kendo akulora piny mondo apidhgi.
5 Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
“Donge ginidog Misri kendo Asuria nobedi gi loch kuomgi, nikech gitamore weyo richogi?
6 A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
Ligangla nomil e miechgi madongo manoketh lodi mag rangeyegi, kendo chenro duto magin-go norum.
7 My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
Joga oramo chuth mondo oweya. Kata giluong Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, to ok notingʼ-gi malo e yo moro amora.
8 How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
“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.
9 I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.
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.
10 They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
Gibiro luwo Jehova Nyasaye, noruti ka sibuor. Kuruto, to nyithinde duto nobi ire katetni kagiwuok yo podho chiengʼ.
11 They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
Ginibi ire ka gitetni ka winy moa Misri, ka akuche moa Asuria. Anami gibed e miechgi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
12 Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
Efraim oselwora gi miriambo, od jo-Israel en kar wuond. Juda ok winj Nyasaye; adier ok giwinj Jal Maler ma ja-adiera.
