Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.
”Idi agtutubo pay laeng ti Israel, inayatko isuna ket inawagak ti anakko manipud iti Egipto.
2 When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
No ad-adda a maay-ayabanda, ad-adda met nga umad-adayoda. Nagidatonda kadagiti Baal ken nagpuorda iti insenso kadagiti didiosen.
3 But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.
Nupay kasta, siak ti nangisuro iti Efraim a magna. Siak ti nangay-aywan kadakuada, ngem saanda nga ammo nga inay-aywanak ida.
4 I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
Indalanko ida babaen iti asi ken panagayat. Nagbalinak idi a kas iti maysa a tao a nangpalukay iti bosal kadagiti sangida ket nagrukobak a nangpakan kadakuada.
5 He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
Saandanto kadi nga agsubli iti daga ti Egipto? Saandanto kadi nga iturayan ti Asiria gapu ta agkedkedda nga agsubli kaniak?
6 And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.
Agtinnagto ti kampilan kadagiti siudadda ket dadaelen daytoy ti balunet dagiti ruanganda; dadaelento daytoy ida gapu kadagiti bukodda a panggep.
7 My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
Ingkeddeng dagiti tattaok a tumallikod kaniak. Uray no umawagda kaniak, siak nga adda idiay ngato, awanto ti mangtulong kadakuada.
8 How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
Kasano a baybay-anka, Efraim? Kasano nga iyawatka, Israel? Kasano a pagbalinenka a kas iti Adma? Kasano a pagbalinenka a kas iti Zeboim? Nagbaliw ti pusok iti kaunggak; simken ti amin nga asik.
9 I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath; I will not again send destruction on Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not put an end to you.
Saankon nga ipatungpal ti rungsot ti pungtotko; saankon a dadaelen manen ti Efraim. Ta siak ket Dios a saan ket a tao; siak ti Nasantoan kadakayo, ket saanak nga umay a sipupungtot.
10 They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
Magnadanto a sumurot kaniak, a ni Yahweh. Agngerngerakto a kas iti leon. Pudno nga agngerngerakto, ket umayto nga agtigtigerger dagiti tattao manipud iti laud.
11 Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord.
Umaydanto nga agtigtigerger a kas iti billit manipud idiay Egipto, kas iti kalapati manipud iti daga ti Asiria. Pagnaedekto ida kadagiti pagtaenganda.” Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
12 The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side. ...
“Linikmutnak ti Efraim iti kinaulbod ken ti balay ti Israel iti panangallilaw. Ngem agtaltalinaedto latta ti Juda kaniak, a Dios, ket napudnoda kaniak, a Nasantoan.”
