< Hosea 11 >

1 When Israel was, a child, then I loved him, —and, out of Egypt, called I my son.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl ses Israel el sie tulik, nga lungse el, Ac pangnolma liki Egypt oana ke el wen nutik.
2 They invited them, —at once, they departed from before me, they, to the Baals, sacrificed, and, to the images, offered incense.
Ke pus na pacl nga pang nu sel, Puseni pac pacl el forla likiyu. Mwet luk uh orek kisa nu sel Baal; Elos esukak mwe keng nu ke ma sruloala.
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.
Tusruktu, nga pa luti Israel in etu fahsr. Nga kafisak mwet luk in pouk, A elos tiana akilen lah nga karinganulos.
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.
Nga amakunulosme nu yuruk ke pakomuta ac lungse yohk luk. Nga sraklalosyak ac kaosulosme nu likintupuk. Nga kui nu ten ac kitalos.
5 He was not to turn back into the land of Egypt, Howbeit, the Assyrian—he, became his king, for they refused to turn.
“Elos srunga foloko nu yuruk, na pa elos enenu in folokla nu Egypt, ac Assyria fah leum faclos.
6 Therefore shall the sword, rage, in his cities, and make an end of his multitudes, and consume them, —because of their counsels.
Mweun ac fah pokla siti selos ac kunausla mutunpot we. Mweun ac fah sukela mwet luk mweyen elos oru na lungse lalos sifacna.
7 But, my people, are bent towards turning from me, though upwards they call them, none of them can lift them.
Elos sruasrala in forla likiyu. Elos ac wowoyak ke sripen srenenu ma oan faclos, tuh wangin sie fah srukak lukelos.
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.
“Israel, nga ac filikomla fuka? Nga ac siskomla fuka? Ya nga ku in kunauskomla, oana nga tuh oru nu sel Admah, Ku orekom oana ke nga oru nu sel Zeboim? Insiuk ac tiana lela ngan oru ouinge, Lungse luk nu sum arulana ku na pwaye.
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.
Nga fah tia kai kom in kasrkusrak luk. Nga fah tia sifil kunausla Israel. Mweyen nga God, ac nga tia mwet. Nga pa El Su Mutal, su wi kom na. Nga fah tia tuku nu yurum in kasrkusrak.
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.
“Mwet luk fah fahsr tukuk pacl nga ngutngut oana soko lion nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos fah sulaklak nu yuruk roto me.
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.
Elos ac tuku Egypt me, mui oana won yen engyeng uh, ac liki acn Assyria me oana wuleoa uh. Nga fah sifilpa usalosme nu in lohm selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ouinge.”
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.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos apinyula ke kikiap ac kutasrik, a mwet Judah elos srakna oaru in fahsr tukun God mutal.
