Osee 11
1 Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
Nawkta nathuem ah Israel to ka palung, Izip prae thung hoiah ka capa to ka kawk.
2 As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
Nihcae to ka kawk naah, nihcae loe kangthla aep ah caeh o: Baalnawk khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to a sak o moe, krangnawk khaeah hmuihoih a thlaek o.
3 Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
Ephraim caeh thaih hanah ka patuk, anih ih ban ah ka patawnh moe, ka hoih; toe kai mah ngan ka tuisak, tito nihcae mah panoek o ai.
4 When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
Nihcae to poeknaemhaih hoiah ka zaeh moe, amlunghaih hoiah ka zaeng; kai loe nihcae hanah tahnong ih hnam kakhringh pae kaminawk baktiah ka oh, nihcae to buh ka pacah.
5 Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
Nihcae loe dawnpakhuem o ai pongah, anih loe Izip prae ah amlaem mak ai, Assyria kami loe anih ih siangpahrang ah om tih.
6 And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
Anih ih vangpuinawk thungah sumsen alaekhaih to om tih, angmacae sak atimhaih baktih toengah, a ohhaih ahmuen to amro ueloe, nihcae to amrosak tih.
7 and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
Kai ih kaminawk loe kai hnuk angqoi taak ving hanah poek o: nihcae mah to Kasang Koek, tiah palawk o, toe Anih to mi mah doeh pakoeh o ai.
8 How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
Ephraim, kawbang maw nang hae kang pahnawt sut thai tih? Israel, kawbang maw nang hae kang prawt sut thai tih? Admah vangpui nuiah ka sak ih hmuen baktiah kawbang maw nang hae ka sah han? Nang hae kawbang maw Zeboiim baktiah kang suem thai tih? Ka poekhaih palung amkhraih moe, pop parai tahmenhaih to ka tawnh boeh.
9 I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
Kanung parai palung ka phuihaih hoiah hmuen to ka sah mak ai, Ephraim to kam rosak mak ai: kai loe kami na ai, Sithaw ni; nangcae salakah kaom Ciimcai Sithaw ah ka oh; to pongah vangpui amrosak hanah kang zo mak ai.
10 I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
Nihcae mah Angraeng to patom o tih: Anih loe kaipui baktiah hang tih: Anih hangh naah, a caanawk tasoeh o ueloe, niduem bang hoiah angzo o tih.
11 They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says the Lord.
Nihcae loe Izip prae ih tavaanawk baktih, Assyria prae ih pahuu baktiah, tasoehhaih hoiah angzo o tih: to naah nihcae to angmacae im ah ka ohsak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
Lok amlaihaih hoiah Ephraim mah kai ang takui, Israel imthung takoh mah alinghaih hoiah kai ang takui: toe Judah loe oep kaom Ciimcai Sithaw, Sithaw khae hoiah loklam amkhraeng ving boeh.
