< Hosea 11 >

1 Israel chu aneolaiyin kangailui, chule kachapa chu Egypt gam'a konin kakou doh’e. Kaha kouva ahile, gamla cheh cheh in eidalhauvin. Baal doiho ahouvin, kilhaina gantha abolluvin ahi. Milim doi kisemthu ho pou chu ahouvun Gimnamtwi alhutun ahi.
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
2
But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
3 Keima tahin Israel alamjot dingdan kahil ahi, kakhutah-a katua kana lamkaiyu ahi. Ahinla aman ima ahepon, donin jong eiseppoi. Hitiho chu keima kanahi lam jong ahepouve.
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
4 Keiman ngailutna khaoguile voujang natna khaovin kana lamkaiyin, angonguva namkol kibut lahdohpeha pangpa tobang kanahin chule anehdiu kana luipehe.
I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
5 Ahinlah hichangeijin kamite kahenglama ahung kile pouvin ahi. hijeh chun Egypt gamah kinungle uvintin, namphu in Assyria jennauvinte.
Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
6 Akhopi hou chunga gal kisat umding, kelkot phunga kotgol jouse ataboh soh keija kulpi phungdunga chemjam alapdiu ahi.
A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
7 Kamite keiya kona kinungtol kitdiu, Chunung Penpa tia eikoudiu, Ahinlah jana tahbeh eipenom hihunte.
My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
8 O Israel keiman nangho iti kadop sang thei diu ham? Keiman nang ho hi iti kasoldoh thei dingu ham? Keiman nangho hi Admah banga iti kasuhmang thei dingu ham? Ahiloule Keiman nangma hi iti Zeboiim tobanga kakoi ding ham? Kalungchang sunglamah akibotkehin chule kami khotona aletlhatai.
How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
9 Kalungnat tijat chu boldating, Israel suhmang kitdin gong taponge. Ajeh chu keima Pathen kahin, mihem kahipoi. Keima Atheng, nalahuva um chu kahin, nangho hung suhmang ponge.
I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.
10 Itihham nikho leh mipiten kanung ahinjui dingu ahi. Kei, Pakai, Keipi banga kitum ding, Kakitumteng, kamite kitihot puma lhumlam-a kona hung kile diu ahi.
They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
11 Vacha honte banga amaho Egype gamma kona hung diu ahi. Vapalte banga, ti-kiling dingu, amaho Assyria gam'a kona hung kinung lediu ahi. Chule keiman inpia kapui lutkit dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
12 Israel in jou le nalin ei umkimvelin Ahinlah Judah in Pathen thusei angai nalaiyuvin chule amaho Athengpa dinga tahsan umtah ahiuve.
Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
