Hosea 11
1 When Israel was, a child, then I loved him, —and, out of Egypt, called I my son.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 They invited them, —at once, they departed from before me, they, to the Baals, sacrificed, and, to the images, offered incense.
They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
3 Yet, I, had taught Ephraim to walk, I used to take them upon mine arms, —But they acknowledged not that I had healed them.
And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.
4 With human cords, used I to draw them, with the bands of love, so became I unto them like those who remove the yoke [that was] on their jaws, —and, holding out [food] to him, I let him eat.
With cords of humankind I drew them with ropes of love and I was to them like [those who] lift a yoke on jaws their and I incline to him I feed [him].
5 He was not to turn back into the land of Egypt, Howbeit, the Assyrian—he, became his king, for they refused to turn.
Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
6 Therefore shall the sword, rage, in his cities, and make an end of his multitudes, and consume them, —because of their counsels.
And it will whirl a sword in cities his and it will put an end to bars his and it will devour [them] from schemes their.
7 But, my people, are bent towards turning from me, though upwards they call them, none of them can lift them.
And people my [is] hung up to apostasy my and to a height they call on him together not he will exalt [them].
8 How can I give thee up, Ephraim? abandon thee Israel? How can I make thee as Admah? set thee as Zeboim? Mine own heart, turneth against me, at once, are kindled my compassions.
How? will I give up you O Ephraim will I deliver up? you O Israel how? will I make you like Admah will I make? you like Zeboiim it has been changed on me heart my together they have grown warm compassions my.
9 I cannot execute the glow of mine anger, I cannot turn to destroy Ephraim, —for, GOD, am, I, and not man, When thou drawest near, [I am] a Holy One, though I do not enter a city.
Not I will carry out [the] burning of anger my not I will repeat to destroy Ephraim for [am] God I and not a human in midst your [the] holy [one] and not I will come in rage.
10 After Yahweh, let them go, Like a lion, will he roar, —When, he, shall roar, then let sons, come trembling, out of the West.
After Yahweh they will walk like a lion he will roar if he he will roar and they may tremble children from [the] west.
11 Let them come trembling like a small bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria, —so will I cause them to dwell by their own houses, Declareth Yahweh.
They will tremble like a bird from Egypt and like a dove from [the] land of Assyria and I will cause to dwell them at houses their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 They have compassed me about—with denial, Ephraim, with deceit, the house of Israel, —but, Judah, hath, again and again, run riot with GOD, though, with the holy places, entrusted.
They have surrounded me with lying Ephraim and with deceit [the] house of Israel and Judah still it has roamed with God and with [the] holy [one] faithful.
