< Hosea 11 >

1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama mofavrema mani'nazage'na navesi'nezmante'na mofavreni'e hu'na Isipitira zamavare'noe.
“Before the Israeli [people] became a nation [MET], I loved them [like a man loves] his son, and I called them out of Egypt.
2 Hianagi Nagrama kema zamagriku'ma nehuge'za, mago'ane natre'za afete vu'naze. Ana nehu'za Bali havi anumzantaminte'ene kaza osu havi anumzantaminte'ene ofane mananentake zanena ome kremana vu'naze.
But while I continued to call them, they [continued to] turn away from me more and more. They offered sacrifices to their statues of Baal, and they burned incense to [honor] them.
3 Hagi Israeli vahera zamazantera Nagra zamavazu hu'na vano nehu'na, kama vanoma hu avu'ava zana rempi huzmi'noe. Hianagi Nagrama zamazeri knamare'noa zana ke'za antahi'za osu'naze.
[The people of] Israel were [like a little boy] [MET], and [it was as though] it was I who taught them to walk, holding them by their hands. But they did not realize that it was I who was taking care of them.
4 Nagra nasunku hunezmante'na navesi nezmante'na Israeli vahera zamavare'na vu'noe. Ana nehu'na zamanankempintira karenamare zafa eri netre'na, pri hu'na ne'zana zami'noe.
[It was as though I fastened] ropes [around them] to lead them, while I loved them and was kind to them. [It was as though they were young oxen] [MET], and I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
5 Zamagra ete rukrahera huza Isipia ovugahaze. Hianagi Asiria vahe'mo'za kegava huzmantegahaze. Na'ankure Nagrite'ma e'zankura zamavesra hu'nazagu anara hugahaze.
But the people of Israel will become [slaves] again, like they were in Egypt, and [the people of] Assyria will [RHQ] rule over them, because the people of Israel refused to repent.
6 Hanki rankumazmifina bainati kazinteti ha' vahe'mo'za eme ha' huzmante'za ku'ma kafazmia tapage hunetre'za, zamahe vagaregahaze. Ana hanageno antahintahima retro'ma hu'naza zamo'a amne zankna hugahie.
[Their enemies] will use their swords [to attack] the cities in Israel and will destroy the bars in the gates [of the city walls]. [As a result], the people of Israeli will not be able to accomplish the things that they planned to do.
7 Na'ankure Nagri vahe'mo'za natre'za rukrahe hu'za nevaze. Ana nehu'za Marerisga hunemo'e hu'za zamagra hugahazanagi, Nagra zamazeri so'ea osugahue.
My people are determined to (turn away from/abandon) me. They say that I am the great all-powerful God, but they do not honor me at all.
8 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mota inankna hu'na tamatregahue? Inankna hu'na Isareli vahe'mota tamatregahue? Hagi inankna hu'na Adma kumate vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hu'noa zana hugahue? Hagi inankna hu'na Zeboimi kumate vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hu'noa zana hugahue? Nagra nagu'areti tusi'za hu'na nasunkura huramantoe.
[You people of] Israel, I certainly do not want to [RHQ] abandon you and allow [your enemies] to capture you. I do not [RHQ] want to act toward you like I acted toward Admah and Zeboiim, [cities that I completely destroyed when I destroyed Sodom]. I [SYN] have changed my mind [about punishing you]; my desire to pity you has increased.
9 Hagi narimpa ahe'zamo'ma tevema reana atrenugeno evuramina, Israeli vahera zamahe vaga'oregahue. Na'ankure Nagra vahetfana omani'noanki, Anumza mani'noe. Nagra Ruotage hu'noa Anumzama amu'nontamifima nemanua Anumzanki'na, Nagra narimpa aheramante'na e'na eme tamahe hanara osugahue.
Although I am extremely angry, I do not want to punish you severely; I do not want to (devastate/completely ruin) Israel. [Humans would easily decide to do that], but I am God, not a human. I, the Holy One, am with you; although I am very angry [with you], I will not [destroy you].
10 Mago knafina Ra Anumzamofona amage antegahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na laionimo'ma nehiaza huna ranke nehanuge'za, mofavre naga'nimo'za zage fre kazigatira zamahirahiku nehu'za egahaze.
You will follow me when I roar like [SIM] a lion; when I roar, [some of you] my children will tremble as you return [to Israel] from [the islands and seacoasts toward] the west.
11 Hagi maho namamo'zama nehazaza huza Isipitira hare'za ne-esageno, Asiriati'ma maho namamo'za zamahirahiku nehu'za hare'za azankna nehanage'na, ete zamavare'na kumazamire ome zamatregahue hu'na Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.
[Some of] you will come swiftly from Egypt like [a flock of] birds; [others] will return from Assyria, like doves. I will enable you to live in your homes [in Israel] again. [That will surely happen, because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
12 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za havigege huza nevazageno, Juda vahe'mofo Anumzamofo kea ontahi vano vano nehu'za Ruotge'ma Hu'nemofona zamagu'aretira hu'za avariri fatgoa nosaze.
[Yahweh says, “The people of] Israel have (surrounded me with lies/constantly told lies to me). And the people of Judah have [also] turned/rebelled against me, their God, the Holy One who always does what I promise to do, and the people of Judah worship other gods.”
