1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
1Nak toj sâjeb chak li ralal xcßajol laj Israel, lâin quinraheb. Ut nak cuanqueb chak Egipto, quinbokeb li cualal incßajol.
2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
2Lâin xcuaj raj nak xeßchal cuiqßuin, abanan nak xinbokeb, kßaxal cuißchic xineßxtzßektâna. Chiruheb chic laj Baal nequeßmayejac ut chiruheb li yîbanbil dios nequeßxcßat lix pomeb.
3I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
3Lâin xincßutuc bêc chiruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Chanchan nak xinchßiloheb nak xincßut lix yâlal chiruheb. Ut incßaß xeßxqßue retal nak lâin nin-iloc reheb.
4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
4Saß kßunil ut riqßuin rahoc xebincßam cuiqßuin. Saß châbilal xebinberesi. Lâin xcuisi li îk saß xbêneb ut xebinqßue chi cuaßac saß xyâlal.
5He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
5Abanan incßaß nequeßraj sukßîc cuiqßuin. Xban aßan eb laj Asiria teßnumtâk saß xbêneb ut aßanakeb chic lix reyeb. Chanchan nak queßcuan chak Egipto.
6And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
6Tâcuânk li plêt saß lix tenamiteb. Talajeßosokß li tenamit xban li plêt. Eb lin tenamit teßosokß xban nak queßxbânu li cßaßru queßraj xjuneseb.
7And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
7Lin tenamit niquineßxtzßektâna. Junes kßetkßetil chic cuan saß xchßôleb. Usta nequeßxye nak lâin li kßaxal nim incuanquil, abanan mâ jun reheb naqßuehoc incuanquil.
8How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
8¿Chanru nak texincanab êjunes, lâex ralal xcßajol laj Efraín? ¿Chanru nak texinkßaxtesi saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc êre, lâex aj Israel? ¿Ma târûk ta biß texinsach joß xinbânu riqßuineb laj Adma ut riqßuineb laj Zeboim? Lâin cßajoß nak nequexinra. Joßcan nak nayotßeß inchßôl êban.
9I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
9Lâin incßaß tinbânu li cßaßru quincßoxla xbânunquil êriqßuin nak quechikß xxamlel injoskßil. Lâin incßaß chic texinsach chi junaj cua, lâex aj Efraín, xban nak lâin Diosin. Mâcuaßin yal cuînk. Lâin li Dios Santo li cuanquin saß êyânk. Incßaß tin-oc saß lê tenamit chêsachbal.
10They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
10Chanchanakin li cakcoj nak tinjap cue chiruheb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb li cualal incßajol. Sicsotkeb xbaneb xxiu li cualal incßajol nak teßchâlk cuiqßuin saß li oeste li na-oc cuiß li sakße.
11They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
11Chanchanakeb laj xicßanel xul nak teßchâlk cuiqßuin saß junpât joß nak queßel chak Egipto. Ut chanchanakeb li mucuy nak teßêlk chak Asiria. Ut lâin tebinqßue cuißchic chi cuânc saß lix naßajeb, chan li Kâcuaß.—Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín junes ticßtißic nequeßxbânu chicuu. Ut eb laj Israel junes balakßic nequeßxbânu. Ut eb laj Judá queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chicuu lâin li tzßakal Dios ut yôqueb chixqßuebal xlokßal li yîbanbil dios.
12Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
12—Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín junes ticßtißic nequeßxbânu chicuu. Ut eb laj Israel junes balakßic nequeßxbânu. Ut eb laj Judá queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chicuu lâin li tzßakal Dios ut yôqueb chixqßuebal xlokßal li yîbanbil dios.
