Hosia 11
1 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili ea goi hadini esoga, Na da ema asigisu. Na da e Nagofe agoane e Idibidi sogega esalu amo gadili welegai.
“When Israel was a young man I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt.
2 Na ema bagohame wei, be e da Nama bagohame baligi fa: i. Na dunu da Ba: ilema gobele salasu. Ilia da loboga hamoi ogogole ‘gode’ ilima gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu.
The more they were called, the more they went away from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to idols.
3 Be Na Nisu da Isala: ilima ahoasu hou olelei. Na da Na fi dunu Nima sogoba: le guda: i. Na da ili noga: le ouligi. Be ilia da Nama hame nodoi.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk. It was I who lifted them up by their arms, but they did not know that I cared for them.
4 Na da asigiliwane ili Nima hiougia guda: i. Na da youge ilia mugia galu amo fadegai amola Na da ilima ha: i manu imunusa: begudui.
I led them with cords of humanity, with bands of love. I was to them like someone who eased the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
5 Ilia Nama sinidigimu higasa. Amaiba: le, ilia da Idibidi sogega dafawane buhagima: ma. Amola Asilia fi da ili ouligimu.
Will they not return to the land of Egypt? Will Assyria not rule over them because they refuse to return to me?
6 Gegesu da ilia moilai ganodini doasa: ili, moilai logo ga: su da mugululi sa: imu. Na fi dunu da ilia hanaiga hamobeba: le, gegesu da ili wadela: lesimu.
The sword will fall on their cities and destroy the bars of their gates; it will destroy them because of their own plans.
7 Ilia da dafawane Nama baligi fa: lala. Youge da ilia mugi da: iya dialebeba: le, ilia da a: iya gusa: mu. Be enoga da amo youge hame gaguia gadolesimu.
My people are determined to turn away from me. Though they call to the Most High, no one will help them.
8 Isala: ili! Na da habodane di yolesima: bela: ? Na da habodane di fisima: bela: ? Na da A: dama moilai bai bagade amola Siboime moilai bai bagade Amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Be Na da habodane amo defele di gugunufinisima: bela: ? Na dima bagadewane asigisa. Amaiba: le, Na da di gugunufinisimu hamedei ba: sa.
How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart has changed within me; all my compassions have been stirred up.
9 Na da dima ougili se bidi hame imunu. Na da Isala: ili bu hame wadela: lesimu. Bai Na da mafua dunu hame, Na da Gode. Na, Hadigi Gode, Na da ani esala. Na ougiliwane dima hame misunu.
I will not execute my fierce anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not a man; I am the Holy One among you, and I will not come in wrath.
10 Na da Na fi ilia ha lai dunu ilima laione wa: me agoane gogonomomu. Amasea, Na fi da Nama fa: no bobogemu. Ilia da guma: dini esalu, hedolo Nama misunu.
They will follow Yahweh; and he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
11 Ilia da Idibidi ganini, sio agoane hedolo hagili misunu, amola Asilia ganini, ‘dafe’ sio defele hedolo hagili misunu. Na da ilia ilila: diasudafa amoga bu oule misunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from the land of Assyria. I will make them live in their homes—this is the declaration of Yahweh.
12 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu ilia ogogosu hou da Na sisiga: sa. Na da Dafawanedafa amola Hadigi Gode. Be Yuda fi dunu da Nama lelesu hou gebewane hamonana.”
Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah is still going about with me, God, and is faithful to me, the Holy One.”
