Hosea 11
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl ses Israel el sie tulik, nga lungse el, Ac pangnolma liki Egypt oana ke el wen nutik.
Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Ke pus na pacl nga pang nu sel, Puseni pac pacl el forla likiyu. Mwet luk uh orek kisa nu sel Baal; Elos esukak mwe keng nu ke ma sruloala.
They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 Tusruktu, nga pa luti Israel in etu fahsr. Nga kafisak mwet luk in pouk, A elos tiana akilen lah nga karinganulos.
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
4 Nga amakunulosme nu yuruk ke pakomuta ac lungse yohk luk. Nga sraklalosyak ac kaosulosme nu likintupuk. Nga kui nu ten ac kitalos.
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 “Elos srunga foloko nu yuruk, na pa elos enenu in folokla nu Egypt, ac Assyria fah leum faclos.
He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 Mweun ac fah pokla siti selos ac kunausla mutunpot we. Mweun ac fah sukela mwet luk mweyen elos oru na lungse lalos sifacna.
The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 Elos sruasrala in forla likiyu. Elos ac wowoyak ke sripen srenenu ma oan faclos, tuh wangin sie fah srukak lukelos.
And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
8 “Israel, nga ac filikomla fuka? Nga ac siskomla fuka? Ya nga ku in kunauskomla, oana nga tuh oru nu sel Admah, Ku orekom oana ke nga oru nu sel Zeboim? Insiuk ac tiana lela ngan oru ouinge, Lungse luk nu sum arulana ku na pwaye.
How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
9 Nga fah tia kai kom in kasrkusrak luk. Nga fah tia sifil kunausla Israel. Mweyen nga God, ac nga tia mwet. Nga pa El Su Mutal, su wi kom na. Nga fah tia tuku nu yurum in kasrkusrak.
I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.
10 “Mwet luk fah fahsr tukuk pacl nga ngutngut oana soko lion nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos fah sulaklak nu yuruk roto me.
They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.
11 Elos ac tuku Egypt me, mui oana won yen engyeng uh, ac liki acn Assyria me oana wuleoa uh. Nga fah sifilpa usalosme nu in lohm selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ouinge.”
And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.
12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos apinyula ke kikiap ac kutasrik, a mwet Judah elos srakna oaru in fahsr tukun God mutal.
Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
