Hosea 11

1 As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.

“Nígbà tí Israẹli wà ní ọmọdé mo fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, mo sì pe ọmọ mi jáde láti Ejibiti wá.

2 As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.

Bí a ti ń pe wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ń sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn rú ẹbọ sí Baali, wọn sì fi tùràrí jóná sí ère fínfín.

3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.

Lóòtítọ́ mo kọ́ Efraimu pẹ̀lú ní ìrìn mo di wọ́n mú ní apá, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ̀ pé mo ti mú wọn láradá.

4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.

Mo fi okùn ènìyàn fà wọ́n àti ìdè ìfẹ́. Mo mú àjàgà kúrò ni ọrùn wọn, Mo sì fi ara balẹ̀ fún wọn ni oúnjẹ.

5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.

“Ṣé wọn ò wá ní padà sí Ejibiti bí. Ṣé Asiria kò sì ní jẹ ọba lé wọn lórí bí nítorí pé wọ́n kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti ronúpìwàdà?

6 The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.

Idà yóò kọ mọ̀nà ní gbogbo ìlú wọn yóò si bá gbogbo irin ẹnu odi ìlú wọn jẹ́ yóò sì fi òpin sí gbogbo èrò wọn.

7 And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.

Àwọn ènìyàn mi ti pinnu láti pẹ̀yìndà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ pè wọ́n sọ́dọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ, kò ní gbé wọn ga rárá.

8 How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.

“Báwo ni èmi ó ṣe fi ọ́ sílẹ̀, Efraimu? Báwo ni èmi ó ṣe yọ̀ǹda rẹ̀, Israẹli? Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ọ bi i Adma? Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ọ bi i Seboimu? Ọkàn mi yípadà nínú mi àánú mi sì ru sókè.

9 I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.

Èmi kò ni mú ìbínú gbígbóná mi ṣẹ, tàbí kí èmi wá sọ Efraimu di ahoro. Nítorí pé èmi ni Ọlọ́run, àní, èmi kì í ṣe ènìyàn. Ẹni mímọ́ láàrín yín, Èmi kò ní í wá nínú ìbínú.

10 They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.

Wọn yóò máa tẹ̀lé Olúwa; òun yóò bú ramúramù bí i kìnnìún. Nígbà tó bá bú, àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò wá ní ìwárìrì láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn.

11 And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord.

Wọn ó wá pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù bí i ẹyẹ láti Ejibiti, bí i àdàbà láti Asiria, Èmi ó mú wọn padà sí ilé wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.

12 Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.

Efraimu tí fi irọ́ yí mi ká ilé Israẹli pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tàn. Ṣùgbọ́n Juda sì dúró ṣinṣin pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run. Ó sì ṣe olóòtítọ́ sí Ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
