Hosea 11
1 When Israel was yet young, then I loved him, and out of Egypt did I call my son.
“Ka Israel ne pod nyathi, ne ahere, kendo ne aluongo wuoda ka agolo Misri.
2 The [prophets] called them; but the more they went from them: unto the Be'alim would they sacrifice, and to the graven images would they burn incense.
To kaka ne amedo luongo Israel e kaka nomedo dhi mabor koda. Negichiwo misengini ne Baal kendo wangʼo ubani ne kido molosi.
3 Yet I myself appointed a leader for Ephraim, who took them up in his arms; but they would not acknowledge that I healed them.
An owuon ema napuonjo Efraim wuotho, ka amakogi gi bedegi, to ne ok gifwenyo ni ne en An mane ochangogi.
4 With human cords I ever drew them forward, with leading-strings of love: and I was to them as those that lift off the yoke from their jaws, and I held out unto them food.
Ne atelonegi gi ngʼwono mathoth kaachiel gihera ma ok rum; ne agolo jok mapek e ngʼutgi kendo akulora piny mondo apidhgi.
5 He should not return unto the land of Egypt: yet [now] is the Assyrian his king; because they refused to repent.
“Donge ginidog Misri kendo Asuria nobedi gi loch kuomgi, nikech gitamore weyo richogi?
6 And the sword shall fall on his cities, and shall make an end of his boughs, and consume them, because of their [evil] counsels.
Ligangla nomil e miechgi madongo manoketh lodi mag rangeyegi, kendo chenro duto magin-go norum.
7 For my people are only bent on backsliding from me; and though upward they call them, they altogether will not elevate themselves.
Joga oramo chuth mondo oweya. Kata giluong Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, to ok notingʼ-gi malo e yo moro amora.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I surrender thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I change thee as Zeboyim? turned is my heart within me, all my compassion is enkindled together.
“Ere kaka anyalo jwangʼou, Efraim? Ere kaka dabolu Israel? Ere kaka datiu ka Adma? Ere kaka damiu ubed machal gi Zeboim? Ok anyal timonu kamano; nikech aseloko pacha kendo akechou.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for God am I, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not come with an enemy's hatred.
Ok anaol mirimba mager bende ok analokra mi aketh Efraim bende. Nimar an Nyasaye, ok an dhano, Jal Maler e dieru. Ok anabi gi mirima.
10 They shall follow after the Lord, when he will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall hasten together from the west;
Gibiro luwo Jehova Nyasaye, noruti ka sibuor. Kuruto, to nyithinde duto nobi ire katetni kagiwuok yo podho chiengʼ.
11 They shall hasten together as birds out of Egypt, and as doves out of the land of Assyria: and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith the Lord.
Ginibi ire ka gitetni ka winy moa Misri, ka akuche moa Asuria. Anami gibed e miechgi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
12 With lies hath Ephraim encompassed me about, and with deceit, the house of Israel; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
Efraim oselwora gi miriambo, od jo-Israel en kar wuond. Juda ok winj Nyasaye; adier ok giwinj Jal Maler ma ja-adiera.
