Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
Israel khaw camoe dae anih te ka lungnah tih Egypt lamloh kamah ca la ka khue coeng.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.
Amih te a khue uh dongah amih mikhmuh lamloh cet uh. Baal taengah a nawn uh tih mueidaep taengah phum uh.
3 And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not that I healed them.
Kai loh Ephraim te caeh ka tuk. Amih te a ban ah ka mawt dae amih ka hoeih sak te a ming uh moenih.
4 I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.
Amih te hlang kah rhuihet neh, lungnah rhuivaeh neh ka mawt. Amih taengah amih kam lamkah hnamkun aka suh pah la ka om. Te dongah ka yueng uh tih anih te ka cah.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];
Mael hamla a aal uh dongah Egypt khohmuen la mael pawt vetih Assyria te a manghai nah ni.
6 and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
A khopuei ah cunghang tinghil vetih a thohkalh a khah pah ni. A cilkhih te a dolh pah ni.
7 Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].
Ka pilnam khaw kai lamloh hnuknong la kingkaek coeng. Amah te a sosang la a khue akhaw huek a pomsang uh moenih.
8 How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Ephraim nang te metlam kang khueh eh? Israel nang te metlam kan tloeng eh? Nang te Admah bangla kang khueh nim? Nang te Zeboiim bangla kang khueh nim? Ka lungbuei he ka khuiah a maelh tih kai kah hloephoelhnah khaw rhenten tloo.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, — the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger.
Ka thintoek thinsa neh ka saii mahpawh. Ephraim phae ham khaw ka mael mahpawh. Kai tah Pathen tih hlang moenih. Na khui ah ka cim tih khopuei ah ka kun mahpawh.
10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:
BOEIPA hnukah sathueng bangla pongpa uh vetih kawk ni. Anih a kawk van neh khotlak lamkah camoe rhoek lakueng uh.
11 they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
Egypt lamkah vaa neh Assyria khohmuen lamkah vahui bangla lakueng uh ni. Te vaengah amih te amamih im ah ka om sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with God, and with the holy things of truth.
Kai he Ephraim kah laithae nen khaw, Israel im kah thailatnah nen khaw m'vael uh. Judah tah Pathen taengah van tih a cim te a tangnah pueng.
