Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Mapakpakan ti Efraim iti angin ken sumursurot iti angin ti daya. Agtultuloy a papaaduenna ti kinaulbod ken kinaranggas. Makitulagda iti Asiria ken mangipanda kadagiti lana iti olibo idiay Egipto.
2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
Adda pay pammabasol ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Juda ken dusaennanto ni Jacob gapu iti inaramidna; singirennanto isuna gapu kadagiti aramidna.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
Iti aanakan, iniggaman ni Jacob ti mukod ti kabsatna, ken iti kinaagtutubona ket nakigubal isuna iti Dios.
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
Nakigubal isuna iti anghel ket nagballigi isuna. Nagsangit ken nagpakaasi iti paraburna. Nasarakanna ti Dios idiay Betel; ket sadiay, nakisao ti Dios kenkuana.
5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
Daytoy ni Yahweh, ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin; “Yahweh” ti maiyawag a naganna.
6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
Isu nga agsublikayo iti Diosyo. Tungpalenyo ti kinapudno ti tulagna ken ti hustisia, ken agtultuloykayo nga aguray iti Diosyo.
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
Addaan dagiti aglaklako iti nakusit a timbangan kadagiti imada; pagay-ayatda ti agkusit.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
Kinuna ti Efraim, “Awan duadua a nagbalinakon a nakabakbaknang; nakasarakak ti kinabaknang. Kadagiti amin a trabahok awan ti masarakanda nga aniaman a basol kaniak, aniaman a banag a basol.”
9 And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
“Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, nga adda kadakayo manipud pay idiay daga ti Egipto. Pagnaedenkayonto manen kadagiti tolda, a kas kadagiti aldaw ti naituding a fiesta.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Nagsaoak met kadagiti profeta ket inikkak ida iti adu a sirmata para kadakayo. Inikkankayo kadagiti pangngarig babaen kadagiti profeta.”
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
No adda ti kinadangkes idiay Galaad, sigurado nga awan serserbi dagiti tattao. Idiay Gilgal, agidatonda kadagiti bulog a baka; maiyarigto dagiti altarda kadagiti gabsuon ti bato iti tengnga dagiti talon.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
Nagkamang ni Jacob iti daga ti Aram; nagtrabaho ni Israel tapno maaddaan iti asawa; ken nagpastor isuna kadagiti arban dagiti karnero tapno maaddaan iti asawa.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Inruar ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud idiay Egipto babaen iti maysa a profeta, ket babaen iti maysa a profeta, inaywananna ida.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
Sisasaem a pinagpungtot ti Efraim ni Yahweh. Isu nga ibatinto ti Apona kenkuana ti basol ti darana ket pagbayadennanto isuna kadagiti nakababain nga aramidna.
