< Hosea 11 >

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
”Idi agtutubo pay laeng ti Israel, inayatko isuna ket inawagak ti anakko manipud iti Egipto.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.
No ad-adda a maay-ayabanda, ad-adda met nga umad-adayoda. Nagidatonda kadagiti Baal ken nagpuorda iti insenso kadagiti didiosen.
3 And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not that I healed them.
Nupay kasta, siak ti nangisuro iti Efraim a magna. Siak ti nangay-aywan kadakuada, ngem saanda nga ammo nga inay-aywanak ida.
4 I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.
Indalanko ida babaen iti asi ken panagayat. Nagbalinak idi a kas iti maysa a tao a nangpalukay iti bosal kadagiti sangida ket nagrukobak a nangpakan kadakuada.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];
Saandanto kadi nga agsubli iti daga ti Egipto? Saandanto kadi nga iturayan ti Asiria gapu ta agkedkedda nga agsubli kaniak?
6 and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
Agtinnagto ti kampilan kadagiti siudadda ket dadaelen daytoy ti balunet dagiti ruanganda; dadaelento daytoy ida gapu kadagiti bukodda a panggep.
7 Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].
Ingkeddeng dagiti tattaok a tumallikod kaniak. Uray no umawagda kaniak, siak nga adda idiay ngato, awanto ti mangtulong kadakuada.
8 How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Kasano a baybay-anka, Efraim? Kasano nga iyawatka, Israel? Kasano a pagbalinenka a kas iti Adma? Kasano a pagbalinenka a kas iti Zeboim? Nagbaliw ti pusok iti kaunggak; simken ti amin nga asik.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, — the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger.
Saankon nga ipatungpal ti rungsot ti pungtotko; saankon a dadaelen manen ti Efraim. Ta siak ket Dios a saan ket a tao; siak ti Nasantoan kadakayo, ket saanak nga umay a sipupungtot.
10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:
Magnadanto a sumurot kaniak, a ni Yahweh. Agngerngerakto a kas iti leon. Pudno nga agngerngerakto, ket umayto nga agtigtigerger dagiti tattao manipud iti laud.
11 they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
Umaydanto nga agtigtigerger a kas iti billit manipud idiay Egipto, kas iti kalapati manipud iti daga ti Asiria. Pagnaedekto ida kadagiti pagtaenganda.” Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
12 Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with God, and with the holy things of truth.
“Linikmutnak ti Efraim iti kinaulbod ken ti balay ti Israel iti panangallilaw. Ngem agtaltalinaedto latta ti Juda kaniak, a Dios, ket napudnoda kaniak, a Nasantoan.”
