Hosea 11
1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
Israel khaw camoe dae anih te ka lungnah tih Egypt lamloh kamah ca la ka khue coeng.
2 As I called them, the farther they went from me. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.
Amih te a khue uh dongah amih mikhmuh lamloh cet uh. Baal taengah a nawn uh tih mueidaep taengah phum uh.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
Kai loh Ephraim te caeh ka tuk. Amih te a ban ah ka mawt dae amih ka hoeih sak te a ming uh moenih.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
Amih te hlang kah rhuihet neh, lungnah rhuivaeh neh ka mawt. Amih taengah amih kam lamkah hnamkun aka suh pah la ka om. Te dongah ka yueng uh tih anih te ka cah.
5 "They won't return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
Mael hamla a aal uh dongah Egypt khohmuen la mael pawt vetih Assyria te a manghai nah ni.
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.
A khopuei ah cunghang tinghil vetih a thohkalh a khah pah ni. A cilkhih te a dolh pah ni.
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won't exalt them.
Ka pilnam khaw kai lamloh hnuknong la kingkaek coeng. Amah te a sosang la a khue akhaw huek a pomsang uh moenih.
8 "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 Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
Ephraim nang te metlam kang khueh eh? Israel nang te metlam kan tloeng eh? Nang te Admah bangla kang khueh nim? Nang te Zeboiim bangla kang khueh nim? Ka lungbuei he ka khuiah a maelh tih kai kah hloephoelhnah khaw rhenten tloo.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath.
Ka thintoek thinsa neh ka saii mahpawh. Ephraim phae ham khaw ka mael mahpawh. Kai tah Pathen tih hlang moenih. Na khui ah ka cim tih khopuei ah ka kun mahpawh.
10 They will walk after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
BOEIPA hnukah sathueng bangla pongpa uh vetih kawk ni. Anih a kawk van neh khotlak lamkah camoe rhoek lakueng uh.
11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses," says the LORD.
Egypt lamkah vaa neh Assyria khohmuen lamkah vahui bangla lakueng uh ni. Te vaengah amih te amamih im ah ka om sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
Kai he Ephraim kah laithae nen khaw, Israel im kah thailatnah nen khaw m'vael uh. Judah tah Pathen taengah van tih a cim te a tangnah pueng.
