Hosea 12
1 Efraim menjaga angin, dan mengejar angin timur sehari suntuk, memperbanyak dusta dan pemusnahan; mereka mengadakan perjanjian dengan Asyur, dan membawa minyak kepada Mesir.
Ephraim [is] feeding wind and [is] pursuing an east wind all the day falsehood and violence he increases and a covenant with Assyria they are making and oil to Egypt it is carried.
2 TUHAN mempunyai perbantahan dengan Yehuda, Ia akan menghukum Yakub sesuai dengan tingkah lakunya, dan akan memberi balasan kepadanya sesuai dengan perbuatan-perbuatannya.
And a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with Judah and to visit [judgment] on Jacob according to ways his according to deeds his he will repay to him.
3 Di dalam kandungan ia menipu saudaranya, dan dalam kegagahannya ia bergumul dengan Allah.
In the womb he took by [the] heel brother his and in manly vigor his he struggled with God.
4 Ia bergumul dengan Malaikat dan menang; ia menangis dan memohon belas kasihan kepada-Nya. Di Betel ia bertemu dengan Dia, dan di sanalah Dia berfirman kepadanya:
And he struggled against an angel and he prevailed he wept and he sought favor to him Beth-el he found him and there he spoke with us.
5 --yakni TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, TUHAN nama-Nya--
And Yahweh [the] God of hosts Yahweh [is] memorial his.
6 "Engkau ini harus berbalik kepada Allahmu, peliharalah kasih setia dan hukum, dan nantikanlah Allahmu senantiasa."
And you in God your you will return loyalty and justice keep and wait to God your continually.
7 Sama seperti Kanaan, dengan neraca palsu di tangannya, dan suka memeras,
Canaan [who are] in hand his scales of deceit to defraud he loves.
8 berkatalah Efraim: "Bukankah aku telah menjadi kaya, telah mendapat harta benda bagiku! Tetapi segala hasil jerih payahku tidak mendatangkan kesalahan yang merupakan dosa bagiku."
And he has said Ephraim surely I have become rich I have found wealth for myself all toil my not people will find to me iniquity which [is] sin.
9 Tetapi Aku adalah TUHAN, Allahmu sejak di tanah Mesir; Aku masih mau membuat engkau diam kembali di kemah-kemah seperti di hari-hari pertemuan raya.
And I [have been] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt again I will cause to dwell you in tents like [the] days of an appointed feast.
10 Aku berbicara kepada para nabi dan banyak kali memberi penglihatan dan memberi perumpamaan dengan perantaraan para nabi.
And I spoke to the prophets and I vision[s] I multiplied and by [the] hand of the prophets I gave parables.
11 Bila di Gilead ada kejahatan, maka mereka menjadi kesia-siaan belaka; di Gilgal mereka mempersembahkan lembu-lembu jantan, maka mezbah-mezbah mereka juga menjadi seperti timbunan batu di alur-alur ladang.
[is] Gilead Wickedness surely worthlessness they are in Gilgal bulls they have sacrificed also altars their [are] like heaps of stones on [the] furrows of a field.
12 Yakub melarikan diri ke tanah Aram, dan Israel memperhambakan diri untuk mendapat isteri, ya, untuk mendapat isteri ia menjadi gembala.
And he fled Jacob [the] region of Aram and he served Israel for a wife and for a wife he kept [flocks].
13 Israel dituntun oleh TUHAN keluar dari Mesir dengan perantaraan seorang nabi, ya, ia dijaga oleh seorang nabi.
And by a prophet he brought up Yahweh Israel from Egypt and by a prophet he was kept.
14 Efraim telah menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya secara pahit, maka Tuhannya akan membiarkan hutang darahnya menimpa dia, dan akan membalas celanya kepadanya.
He has provoked to anger Ephraim bitterness and blood his on him he will leave and reproach his he will repay to him lord his.
