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.
Tango Isalaele azalaki nanu elenge, nalingaki ye, mpe nabengaki mwana na ngai libanda ya Ejipito.
2 As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
Kasi tango nyonso bazalaki kobenga ye, tango nyonso mpe azalaki kokima mosika na Ngai. Bazalaki kobonzela banzambe ya Bala mbeka mpe kotumbela bikeko malasi ya ansa.
3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
Ezalaki Ngai nde nalakisaki Efrayimi ndenge ya kotambola; namemaki bango na maboko na Ngai, kasi basosolaki te ete Ngai nde nazalaki kobatela bango.
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.
Natambolisaki bango na motema ya esengo mpe ya bolingo; nalongolaki bango ekangiseli na bakingo mpe namikitisaki mpo na koleisa bango.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.
Lokola baboyi kozonga epai na Ngai, bakozonga mpe na mokili ya Ejipito te, kasi mokili ya Asiri nde ekozala mokonzi na bango.
6 The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
Mopanga ekokota na bingumba na bango, ekobuka bikangelo ya bikuke na bango mpe ekosukisa mabongisi na bango.
7 And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
Bato na Ngai batingami kaka kopesa Ngai mokongo. Ata babengi bango ete bakende epai na Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, moko te kati na bango azali kopesa Ye lokumu.
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.
Efrayimi, ekobanda ndenge nini nasundola yo? Isalaele, ndenge nini natika yo okende kaka boye? Mpo na nini nasala yo makambo oyo nasalaka engumba ya Adima? Okanisi ete Ngai nakoki penza kokomisa yo lokola engumba ya Tseboyimi? Motema na Ngai ebaluki kati na Ngai mpe natondi na mawa makasi.
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.
Nakosala te kolanda kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nakobebisa lisusu Efrayimi te. Pamba te Ngai, nazali Nzambe, nazali moto te! Nazali Mosantu, Ngai oyo nazali kati na bino; nakoya lisusu na kanda te.
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.
Bakolanda Yawe! Yawe akoganga lokola nkosi. Tango akoganga, bana na Ye bakoya na kolenga wuta na weste.
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.
Bakoya na kolenga lokola bandeke wuta na Ejipito, lokola bibenga wuta na Asiri. Nakovandisa bango na bandako na bango, elobi Yawe.
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.
Efrayimi azingeli Ngai na lokuta, mpe libota ya Isalaele, na kokosa; kasi Yuda azali nanu kotambola elongo na Nzambe, elongo na Mosantu ya solo.
