< Hosea 11 >
1 “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl ses Israel el sie tulik, nga lungse el, Ac pangnolma liki Egypt oana ke el wen nutik.
2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burnt incense to engraved images.
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 taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.
Tusruktu, nga pa luti Israel in etu fahsr. Nga kafisak mwet luk in pouk, A elos tiana akilen lah nga karinganulos.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
Nga amakunulosme nu yuruk ke pakomuta ac lungse yohk luk. Nga sraklalosyak ac kaosulosme nu likintupuk. Nga kui nu ten ac kitalos.
5 “They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
“Elos srunga foloko nu yuruk, na pa elos enenu in folokla nu Egypt, ac Assyria fah leum faclos.
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.
Mweun ac fah pokla siti selos ac kunausla mutunpot we. Mweun ac fah sukela mwet luk mweyen elos oru na lungse lalos sifacna.
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt 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 you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
“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 will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One amongst you. I will not come in wrath.
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 They will walk after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from 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 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says the LORD.
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 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos apinyula ke kikiap ac kutasrik, a mwet Judah elos srakna oaru in fahsr tukun God mutal.
