Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on the wind and follows after the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and violence. They make a covenant with Assyria and carry olive oil to 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 Yahweh also has a lawsuit against Judah and will punish Jacob for what he has done; he will repay him for his deeds.
Adda pay pammabasol ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Juda ken dusaennanto ni Jacob gapu iti inaramidna; singirennanto isuna gapu kadagiti aramidna.
3 In the womb Jacob grasped his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he struggled with God.
Iti aanakan, iniggaman ni Jacob ti mukod ti kabsatna, ken iti kinaagtutubona ket nakigubal isuna iti Dios.
4 He struggled with the angel and won. He wept and begged for his favor. He met God at Bethel; there God spoke with him.
Nakigubal isuna iti anghel ket nagballigi isuna. Nagsangit ken nagpakaasi iti paraburna. Nasarakanna ti Dios idiay Betel; ket sadiay, nakisao ti Dios kenkuana.
5 This is Yahweh, the God of hosts; “Yahweh” is his name to be called on.
Daytoy ni Yahweh, ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin; “Yahweh” ti maiyawag a naganna.
6 So turn to your God. Keep covenantal faithfulness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
Isu nga agsublikayo iti Diosyo. Tungpalenyo ti kinapudno ti tulagna ken ti hustisia, ken agtultuloykayo nga aguray iti Diosyo.
7 The merchants have false scales in their hands; they love to defraud.
Addaan dagiti aglaklako iti nakusit a timbangan kadagiti imada; pagay-ayatda ti agkusit.
8 Ephraim said, “I have certainly become very rich; I have found wealth for myself. In all my work they will not find any iniquity in me, anything that would be 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 “I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt. I will again make you live in tents, as in the days of the appointed festival.
“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 spoke to the prophets, and I gave them many visions for you. By the hand of the prophets I gave parables.”
Nagsaoak met kadagiti profeta ket inikkak ida iti adu a sirmata para kadakayo. Inikkankayo kadagiti pangngarig babaen kadagiti profeta.”
11 If there is wickedness in Gilead, surely the people are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls; their altars will be like heaps of stone 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 Jacob fled to the land of Aram; Israel worked in order to get a wife; and he kept flocks of sheep to get a wife.
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 Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet he took care of them.
Inruar ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud idiay Egipto babaen iti maysa a profeta, ket babaen iti maysa a profeta, inaywananna ida.
14 Ephraim has bitterly angered Yahweh. So his Lord will leave his blood on him and will turn back on him his disgrace.
Sisasaem a pinagpungtot ti Efraim ni Yahweh. Isu nga ibatinto ti Apona kenkuana ti basol ti darana ket pagbayadennanto isuna kadagiti nakababain nga aramidna.
