Hosea 11
1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
Isarel teh a nawca hoi ka lungpataw teh, ka capa hah Izip ram hoi ka kaw toe.
2 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
Ka kaw navah hoe a yawng awh teh, Baal koe thuengnae a sak teh, meikaphawknaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Ephraim hah a kut dawk hoi ka kuet teh lamcei ka pâtu. Hatei, kaie khetyawtnae hah panuek hoeh.
4 With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him — I feed [him].
Tami hrawinae, lungpatawnae rui hoi ka sawn. A lahuen dawk e yawcu hah a kam koelah ka pahout pouh teh rawca hah ka paca.
5 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
Nang koe ka tho mahoeh titeh, a kangek dawkvah, Izip ram lah bout ban mahoeh. Assiria siangpahrang ni a uk awh han.
6 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from their own counsels.
Amamae pouknae hah raphoe lah ao han. Tahloi teh a onae koe khothung phat vaiteh, siangpahrang hah a thei awh han.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
Ka taminaw teh kai koehoi lam pou a phen awh. A lathueng poung e Cathut koe ka kaw eiteh, hote Cathut hah apinihai talue sak han ngai hoeh.
8 How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
Oe Ephraim, bangtelah hoi maw nang hah na pahnim thai han. Oe Isarel, nang hah bangtelah hoi maw na hnoun thai han. Nang teh Adamah kho patetlah bangtelah hoi maw na o sak thai han. Zeboiim kho patetlah bangtelah hoi maw na ta thai han. Ka lungthin a kâthung teh, puenghoi lungpatawnae ka tawn.
9 I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
Puenghoi ka lungkhuek e patetlah ka sak ngaihoeh. Ephraim hah boutbout ka raphoe ngaihoeh. Kai teh tami nahoeh Cathut doeh. Khothung kaawm e tami nahoeh eiteh, nangmouh koe kaawm e kathounge Cathut lah ka o.
10 After Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
Nangmouh teh Cathut koe na kâbang awh han. Sendek patetlah na huk awh han. A huk toteh a canaw kanîloumlah hoi karangpounglah a tho awh han.
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Baritca patetlah Izip ram lahoi thoseh, bakhu patetlah Assiria ram lahoi thoseh, karanglah yawng awh vaiteh, amamouh onae hmuen koe hmuen ka poe han telah Cathut ni a ti.
12 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [is] faithful!
Ephraim ni laithoe hoi thoseh, Isarel ni dumyennae hoi thoseh, kai hah na tarawk awh toe. Judah nihai, kathoung ni teh yuemkamcu e Cathut koehoi lam a phen teh a kâva toe.
