Oseas 12
1 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.
Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Adda pay pammabasol ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Juda ken dusaennanto ni Jacob gapu iti inaramidna; singirennanto isuna gapu kadagiti aramidna.
The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 Iti aanakan, iniggaman ni Jacob ti mukod ti kabsatna, ken iti kinaagtutubona ket nakigubal isuna iti Dios.
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Nakigubal isuna iti anghel ket nagballigi isuna. Nagsangit ken nagpakaasi iti paraburna. Nasarakanna ti Dios idiay Betel; ket sadiay, nakisao ti Dios kenkuana.
Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
5 Daytoy ni Yahweh, ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin; “Yahweh” ti maiyawag a naganna.
Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
6 Isu nga agsublikayo iti Diosyo. Tungpalenyo ti kinapudno ti tulagna ken ti hustisia, ken agtultuloykayo nga aguray iti Diosyo.
Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
7 Addaan dagiti aglaklako iti nakusit a timbangan kadagiti imada; pagay-ayatda ti agkusit.
He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
8 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.”
And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 “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.
And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 Nagsaoak met kadagiti profeta ket inikkak ida iti adu a sirmata para kadakayo. Inikkankayo kadagiti pangngarig babaen kadagiti profeta.”
I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 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.
Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 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.
And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 Inruar ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud idiay Egipto babaen iti maysa a profeta, ket babaen iti maysa a profeta, inaywananna ida.
And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Sisasaem a pinagpungtot ti Efraim ni Yahweh. Isu nga ibatinto ti Apona kenkuana ti basol ti darana ket pagbayadennanto isuna kadagiti nakababain nga aramidna.
Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood on him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
