WMBB (Same as above)

MSG(1-9)“When Israel was only a child, I loved him.
  I called out, ‘My son!’—called him out of Egypt.
But when others called him,
  he ran off and left me.
He worshiped the popular sex gods,
  he played at religion with toy gods.
Still, I stuck with him. I led Ephraim.
  I rescued him from human bondage,
But he never acknowledged my help,
  never admitted that I was the one pulling his wagon,
That I lifted him, like a baby, to my cheek,
  that I bent down to feed him.
Now he wants to go back to Egypt or go over to Assyria—
  anything but return to me!
That’s why his cities are unsafe—the murder rate skyrockets
  and every plan to improve things falls to pieces.
My people are hell-bent on leaving me.
  They pray to god Baal for help.
  He doesn’t lift a finger to help them.
But how can I give up on you, Ephraim?
  How can I turn you loose, Israel?
How can I leave you to be ruined like Admah,
  devastated like luckless Zeboim?
I can’t bear to even think such thoughts.
  My insides churn in protest.
And so I’m not going to act on my anger.
  I’m not going to destroy Ephraim.
And why? Because I am God and not a human.
  I’m The Holy One and I’m here—in your very midst.

NETBut the more I summoned them,
 ⇔ the farther they departed from me.
 ⇔ They sacrificed to the Baal idols
 ⇔ and burned incense to images.

LSVThey have called to them correctly,
They have gone from before them,
They sacrifice to lords,
And make incense to carved images.

FBVAs they called them, so they went from them:[fn] they sacrificed to the Baals and offered incense to idols.


11:2 Sometimes this is translated: “The more I called them, the more they went from me,” but this requires significant changes to the original text. What the Hebrew text appears to be saying, in the context of the Exodus from Egypt, is that as they (Israel) called them (Egypt) was the way in which they (Israel) went from them (Egypt). In other words even at the Exodus Israel was hankering after the things of Egypt and only left under pressure. Many would have preferred to stay, and Hosea traces the apostasy he is dealing with to a reluctant and rebellious spirit of some even at the time of the Exodus. This is confirmed by the second part of the verse.

T4TBut while I continued to call them,
 ⇔ they continued to turn away from me more and more.
 ⇔ They offered sacrifices to their statues of Baal,
 ⇔ and they burned incense to honor them.

LEB• [fn] them, they went from my face.[fn] They sacrificed to the Baals, and they sacrificed to idols.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) The more they were called, the more they went away from me

(Some words not found in UHB: called to/for=them yes/correct/thus/so went from=their=face/front to_the,Baals sacrificing and,to_the,idols burning_offerings, )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The more I called them to be my people, the more they refused me”
