Hosea 11

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.

“Nígbà tí Israẹli wà ní ọmọdé mo fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, mo sì pe ọmọ mi jáde láti Ejibiti wá.

2 The more they called them, the more they went from them; they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and offered to graven images.

Bí a ti ń pe wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ń sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn rú ẹbọ sí Baali, wọn sì fi tùràrí jóná sí ère fínfín.

3 And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

Lóòtítọ́ mo kọ́ Efraimu pẹ̀lú ní ìrìn mo di wọ́n mú ní apá, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ̀ pé mo ti mú wọn láradá.

4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I fed them gently.

Mo fi okùn ènìyàn fà wọ́n àti ìdè ìfẹ́. Mo mú àjàgà kúrò ni ọrùn wọn, Mo sì fi ara balẹ̀ fún wọn ni oúnjẹ.

5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

“Ṣé wọn ò wá ní padà sí Ejibiti bí. Ṣé Asiria kò sì ní jẹ ọba lé wọn lórí bí nítorí pé wọ́n kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti ronúpìwàdà?

6 And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

Idà yóò kọ mọ̀nà ní gbogbo ìlú wọn yóò si bá gbogbo irin ẹnu odi ìlú wọn jẹ́ yóò sì fi òpin sí gbogbo èrò wọn.

7 And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; and though they call them upwards, none at all will lift himself up.

Àwọn ènìyàn mi ti pinnu láti pẹ̀yìndà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ pè wọ́n sọ́dọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ, kò ní gbé wọn ga rárá.

8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.

“Báwo ni èmi ó ṣe fi ọ́ sílẹ̀, Efraimu? Báwo ni èmi ó ṣe yọ̀ǹda rẹ̀, Israẹli? Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ọ bi i Adma? Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ọ bi i Seboimu? Ọkàn mi yípadà nínú mi àánú mi sì ru sókè.

9 I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury.

Èmi kò ni mú ìbínú gbígbóná mi ṣẹ, tàbí kí èmi wá sọ Efraimu di ahoro. Nítorí pé èmi ni Ọlọ́run, àní, èmi kì í ṣe ènìyàn. Ẹni mímọ́ láàrín yín, Èmi kò ní í wá nínú ìbínú.

10 They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.

Wọn yóò máa tẹ̀lé Olúwa; òun yóò bú ramúramù bí i kìnnìún. Nígbà tó bá bú, àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò wá ní ìwárìrì láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn.

11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.

Wọn ó wá pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù bí i ẹyẹ láti Ejibiti, bí i àdàbà láti Asiria, Èmi ó mú wọn padà sí ilé wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.

12 Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.

Efraimu tí fi irọ́ yí mi ká ilé Israẹli pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tàn. Ṣùgbọ́n Juda sì dúró ṣinṣin pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run. Ó sì ṣe olóòtítọ́ sí Ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
