Hosea 12
1 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za ne'zama neankna hu'za zahora nene'za, maka kna zage hanati kazigati'ma ea zaho nevaririze. Zamagra havige avu'ava zane, vahe'ma ohe fri ahe fri hu avu'avaza hu'za eri hakare nehaze. Ana nehu'za Asiria vahe'ene eri mago hu'za nemani'za, zamazama hu'zama erisagura olivi masavena atrage'za Isipi eri'za nevaze.
[The leaders of] Israel are constantly wavering [about seeking help from other countries]. [Seeking their help is as useless as] [MET] chasing the wind. They pile up their lies and violent acts. [First, ] they make a treaty with Assyria, and [then they] send olive oil to [the rulers of] Egypt [to seek their help].
2 Ra Anumzamo'a Juda vahera keaga hunezmanteno, zamagrama hu'naza zamavu zamavatera Jekopu nagara knazana zamino zamazeri haviza hugahie.
Yahweh [says that he] will bring accusations against [the leaders of] Judah, and that he will punish [the descendants of] Jacob for what they have done.
3 Hagi Jekopu'a nerera arimpafima mani'neno'a, nefu agiare azerino hara hunte'ne. Hagi ra vahe'ma neseno'a, Anumzane hara hu'ne.
[When Jacob was] in his mother’s womb, he grabbed his brother [Esau’s] heel [because he wanted to be born first]. When Jacob grew up, he wrestled with God.
4 Hagi agra ankero ne' hara huno agatenereno, agri'ma asomu'ma hunte'nigura zavira neteno antahige'ne. Hagi agra Anumzamofona Beteli eme keno erifore huno keaga nehuno, asunkuma hunteno azama hanigura agri'enena keaga hu'ne.
He struggled with [the one who had appeared to him in the form of] an angel, and Jacob defeated him, but [then] he cried and asked the angel to bless him. [Later], God came to Jacob at Bethel and talked with him there.
5 Ra Anumzana Agra Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzankino, agi'a Ra Anumzane.
[That was] the Commander of the armies of angels whose name is Yahweh [who talked with him]!
6 Ana hu'negu menina tamagra'a Anumzante rukrahe huta eta vahe'ma avesinte avu'avazane, vahe'ma knare hunte avu'ava zanena eme azeri hankavetiho. Ana nehuta tamagra'a Anumzamofonte amuhara huta viho.
But you [people of Israel] must return to your God! You must faithfully love [him], and you must do what is fair/just and always depend on him.
7 Hagi zagore fenoma atre'za eri'zama nehaza vahe'mo'za, fatgo kazigatira zagoa retro nosazanki, havige hu'za vahe'mofo zana kna'a refko hu so'e huza nege'za mizana te'nosizanki, zamazeri savri hu'za miza nesaze.
The merchants [among you] use scales that do not weigh correctly; they love/like to cheat people.
8 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za hu'za, tagra feno vahe mani'neta, rama'a feno ante'none hu'za zamavufaga ra nehaze. Ana nehu'za amanage nehaze, Vahe'ma zamazeri savri'ma huta fenoma retroma huna kumira mago vahe'mo'a tageno eri forera osugahie hu'za nehaze.
[The people of] Israel boast, saying “We are [very] rich [DOU]; and we got all that money by our own efforts, and without committing any sin.”
9 Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'na, Isipitira tamavre'na atirami'noa Anumza mani'noankina, ko'ma fugagi noma kita manita e'naza zanku'ma antahimita seli noma kita nemaniza kna huta, ete tamatrenugeta ete seli nompi umanigahaze.
“I am Yahweh your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. [And some day] I will force you to live in tents again [like your ancestors did] when [they celebrated] the Festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters].
10 Hagi Nagra kasnampa vaheni'afi huvazi'na nanekea nehu'na, avanagna zana rama'a eri zamaveri nehu'na, rama'a fronka kea zamagripi huvazi'na tamasmi'noe.
[Many times] I spoke to the prophets, and I gave them many visions, and I gave them parables to tell [to the people].”
11 Hianagi Gileati vahe'mo'za kefo avu'ava'ene vahe mani'nazanki'za, knare osu vahe mani'naze. Hagi Gilgali kumate'enena bulimakao afu ahe'za havi anumzantera Kresramana vu'nazankino, Kresramana vu itama tro'ma hu'naza zamo'a hozama rekorinte agupomofo refarega have eri hihi huntazankna huno meno vu'ne.
[The people of] Gilead [city] are [RHQ] extremely wicked; they are worthless. The people sacrifice bulls in Gilgal [city], but their altars will [soon] become like [SIM] piles of stone [at the edge of] a plowed field.
12 Hagi korapara Jekopu'a (Israeli) Aramu moparega freno umani'neno, sipisipima kegava hia zanteti ara eri'ne.
[Your ancestor] Jacob fled [from his brother Esau] and went to northwest Mesopotamia. He worked [for his uncle Laban for many years] to get a wife; he took care of [his uncle’s] sheep [to pay] for her.
13 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne'mofompi huvazino Israeli vahera Isipitira zamavareno atirami'ne. Ana nehuno ana kasnampa ne'mofompi huvazino kegava huzmante'ne.
[Many years later, ] Yahweh enabled a prophet to bring the [ancestors of you] people of Israel here from Egypt; that prophet, [Moses], took care of them.
14 Hianagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za kefo avu'ava zantfa hu'za Ra Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahe'naze. E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamo'a vahe'ma zamahe'za korama eritagi'naza knazana eri zamagofetu nenteno, kumi avu'avazama hu'naza zantera nona huno mika zamazeri haviza hugahie.
[But now the people of] Israel have caused [Yahweh] to become very angry; Yahweh says that they deserve to die because they caused [many others] to die [MTY]; he will pay them back for the sins that they have committed against him and for insulting him.
