Hósea 11
Icelandic Bible
11 Þegar Ísrael var ungur, fékk ég ást á honum, og frá Egyptalandi kallaði ég son minn.
2 Þegar ég kallaði á þá, fóru þeir burt frá mér. Þeir færðu Baölunum sláturfórnir og skurðgoðunum reykelsisfórnir.
3 Ég kenndi Efraím að ganga og tók þá á arma mér. En þeir urðu þess ekki varir, að ég læknaði þá.
4 Með böndum, slíkum sem þeim er menn nota, dró ég þá að mér, með taugum kærleikans, og fór að þeim eins og sá sem lyftir upp okinu á kjálkunum og rétti þeim fæðu.
5 Þeir skulu snúa aftur til Egyptalands, og Assýringar munu drottna yfir þeim, því að þeir vilja ekki taka sinnaskiptum.
6 Því skal og sverðið geisa í borgum þeirra og eyðileggja slagbranda þeirra og eyða virkjum þeirra.
7 Lýður minn hefir stöðuga tilhneiging til þess að snúa við mér bakinu, og þótt kallað sé til þeirra: "Upp á við!" þá hefur enginn sig upp.
8 Hvernig ætti ég að sleppa hendi af þér, Efraím, ofurselja þig, Ísrael? Ætti ég að fara með þig eins og Adma, útleika þig eins og Sebóím! Hjartað kemst við í brjósti mér, ég kenni brennheitrar meðaumkunar.
9 Ég vil ekki framkvæma heiftarreiði mína, ekki aftur eyðileggja Efraím. Því að ég er Guð, en ekki maður. Ég bý á meðal yðar sem heilagur Guð og kem ekki til yðar í bræði.
10 Þeir munu fylgja Drottni, sem öskra mun eins og ljón. Já, hann mun öskra, og synir munu koma skjálfandi úr vestri.
11 Þeir munu koma skjálfandi frá Egyptalandi, eins og fuglar, og eins og dúfur frá Assýríu. Þá vil ég láta þá búa í húsum sínum _ segir Drottinn.

God’s Love for Israel
11 “When Israel was a child,(A) I loved(B) him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.(C)
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.[a](D)
They sacrificed to the Baals(E)
and they burned incense to images.(F)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;(G)
but they did not realize
it was I who healed(H) them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.(I)
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed(J) them.(K)
5 “Will they not return to Egypt(L)
and will not Assyria(M) rule over them
because they refuse to repent?(N)
6 A sword(O) will flash in their cities;
it will devour(P) their false prophets
and put an end to their plans.
7 My people are determined to turn(Q) from me.(R)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(S) Ephraim?(T)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(U)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(V) is aroused.(W)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(X)
nor will I devastate(Y) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(Z)—
the Holy One(AA) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
he will roar(AB) like a lion.(AC)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling(AD) from the west.(AE)
11 They will come from Egypt,
trembling like sparrows,
from Assyria,(AF) fluttering like doves.(AG)
I will settle them in their homes,”(AH)
declares the Lord.

Hosea 11
King James Version
11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I 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.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8 How 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.
9 I 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.
10 They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 They 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.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
