Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
Isarel teh a nawca hoi ka lungpataw teh, ka capa hah Izip ram hoi ka kaw toe.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.
Ka kaw navah hoe a yawng awh teh, Baal koe thuengnae a sak teh, meikaphawknaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh.
3 And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not that I healed them.
Ephraim hah a kut dawk hoi ka kuet teh lamcei ka pâtu. Hatei, kaie khetyawtnae hah panuek hoeh.
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.
Tami hrawinae, lungpatawnae rui hoi ka sawn. A lahuen dawk e yawcu hah a kam koelah ka pahout pouh teh rawca hah ka paca.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];
Nang koe ka tho mahoeh titeh, a kangek dawkvah, Izip ram lah bout ban mahoeh. Assiria siangpahrang ni a uk awh han.
6 and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
Amamae pouknae hah raphoe lah ao han. Tahloi teh a onae koe khothung phat vaiteh, siangpahrang hah a thei awh han.
7 Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
