Hosea 10
1 Israel tah misur bangla culh tih amah ah a thaih om. A thaih te a pul bangla hmueihtuk khaw ping. A khohmuen a then bangla kaam dongah lohna uh.
Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 A lungbuei hoem uh tih boe uh coeng. Amah loh amih kah hmueihtuk a phil pah vetih a kaam te a rhoelrhak pah ni.
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 Te dongah, “BOEIPA he n'rhih uh pawt dongah mamih he manghai tal coeng dae manghai loh mamih ham balae a saii eh?” a ti uh pawn ni.
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 Paipi saii ham vaengah a poeyoek la tap ham ol a thui uh dongah lai kong ah laitloeknah sue la cawn.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 Bethaven vaitola te Samaria imben loh a bakuep uh thil tih a pilnam loh a soah nguekcoi. A mueirhol khosoih rhoek te a so neh a thangpomnah dongah omngaih dae anih lamkah te a poelyoe pah hae coeng.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 Amah te khaw Assyria ah Jareb manghai kah khocang la a khuen ni. Ephraim loh yah a poh vetih Israel khaw amah kah cilsuep dongah yak ni.
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Samaria he hmata ni, a manghai khaw tui hman kah tuihom banghui ni.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
8 Israel kah tholhnah boethae hmuensang kah tim ni. Amih kah hmueihtuk soah hling neh lota luei vetih, “Tlang rhoek te kaimih n'et lamtah som rhoek te kaimih soah cungku lah,” a ti uh ni.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 Gibeah tue lamloh Israel nang na tholh tih pahoi pai uh. Gibeah ah hlangthae koca taengla caemtloek khaw amih te a kae moenih.
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 Ka hue vaengah amih te ka toel pueng ni. Amih kathaesainah dongah amih te tholhnah rhaepnit neh a pin vaengah pilnam loh amih taengah tingtun uh bitni.
It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 Ephraim he cang til ham aka lungnah vaitola bangla a cang dae kai loh a rhawn then te ka nan thil ni. Ephraim ka ngol thil vaengah Judah loh a yoe vetih Jakob loh amah hamla a thoe ni.
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Namamih ham duengnah te soem uh lamtah sitlohnah ol te at uh. Namamih kah khohai te yawt uh. Nangmih soah duengnah pai tih n'thuinuet hil tah BOEIPA te toem ham tue coeng ni.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Halangnah la na thoe uh dongah dumlai na ah uh. Na longpuei ah na hlangrhalh cungkuem neh na pangtung dongah laithae thaih ni na caak uh.
All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14 Na pilnam taengah longlonah pai vetih na hmuencak boeih te caemtloek hnin kah manu neh camoe aka til Betharbel Shalman rhoelrhanah bangla a rhoelrhak ni.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Nangmih kah boethae, boethae hmai ah Bethel loh nangmih ham a saii tangloeng pawn ni. Mincang ah Israel manghai te hmata rhoe hmata ni.
So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
