Hosea 11
1 As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.
4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
With cords of humankind I drew them with ropes of love and I was to them like [those who] lift a yoke on jaws their and I incline to him I feed [him].
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.
Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
6 The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
And it will whirl a sword in cities his and it will put an end to bars his and it will devour [them] from schemes their.
7 And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
And people my [is] hung up to apostasy my and to a height they call on him together not he will exalt [them].
8 How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
How? will I give up you O Ephraim will I deliver up? you O Israel how? will I make you like Admah will I make? you like Zeboiim it has been changed on me heart my together they have grown warm compassions my.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
Not I will carry out [the] burning of anger my not I will repeat to destroy Ephraim for [am] God I and not a human in midst your [the] holy [one] and not I will come in rage.
10 They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
After Yahweh they will walk like a lion he will roar if he he will roar and they may tremble children from [the] west.
11 And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord.
They will tremble like a bird from Egypt and like a dove from [the] land of Assyria and I will cause to dwell them at houses their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.
They have surrounded me with lying Ephraim and with deceit [the] house of Israel and Judah still it has roamed with God and with [the] holy [one] faithful.
