Hosea 11
1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
“Israaʼel yeroo daaʼima turetti, ani isa nan jaalladhe; ani Gibxii ilma koo waameera.
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.
Garuu hammuma ani itti deddeebiʼee isaan waamu, isaan narraa fagaachaa deeman. Isaan Baʼaaliif aarsaa dhiʼeessanii fakkiiwwaniif ixaana aarsan.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Kan irree isaanii qabee Efreemin miillaan deemuu barsiise anuma; isaan garuu akka ani isaan fayyise hin hubanne.
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].
Ani funyoo gara laafina namaatiin, hidhaa jaalalaatiinis isaan nan harkise; ani morma isaanii irraa waanjoo fuudhee isaan sooruuf gadan jedhe.
5 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
“Isaan qalbii jijjiirrachuu waan didaniif Gibxitti hin deebiʼan; Asoor garuu isaan bulcha.
6 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from their own counsels.
Goraadeen magaalaawwan isaanii keessatti balaqqisa; raajota sobduu isaanii ni barbadeessa; karoora isaaniis ni fashaleessa.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
Sabni koo narraa deebiʼuuf kutateera. Yoo isaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii waammatan iyyuu inni gonkumaa ol isaan hin qabu.
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.
“Yaa Efreem ani akkamiinan dandaʼee si dhiisa? Yaa Israaʼel ani akkamiinan dabarsee si kenna? Ani akkamiinan dandaʼee akka Adimaa si godha? Akkamiinan akka Zebooʼiim si godha? Garaan koo na keessatti geeddarameera; gara laafinni ani siif qabu guddateera.
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,
Ani dheekkamsa koo sodaachisaa sana gad hin dhiisu; yookaan ani deebiʼee Efreemin hin balleessu. Ani Waaqa malee nama miti; ani Isa Qulqulluu gidduu kee jiruu dha. Ani dheekkamsaan hin dhufu.
10 After Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
Isaan Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼu; inni akkuma leencaa aada; yommuu inni aadutti ilmaan isaa hollachaa lixa biiftuutii dhufu.
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.
Isaan akkuma simbirroo Gibxi irraa, akkuma gugee ollachaa Asoor irraa dhufu. Ani mana isaanii keessa isaan nan jiraachisa” jedha Waaqayyo.
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!
Efreem sobaan, manni Israaʼel immoo gowwoomsaadhaan na marse. Yihuudaanis Waaqatti, amanamaa Qulqullicha Sanatti iyyuu fincile.
