Hosea 8
1 BOEIPA im ah atha bangla na ka dongah tuki mop laeh. Ka paipi a poe uh tih ka olkhueng soah boe a koek uh.
Put the trumpet to thy mouth! Like an eagle cometh an enemy against the house of Jehovah, Because they have transgressed my covenant, And have rebelled against my law.
2 Kai taengah tah, “Ka Pathen aw Israel he namah kah la ka ming uh,” tila rhap uh.
They shall say to me, My God, we know thee, we, thine Israel!
3 Israel khaw hnothen a hlahpham dongah amah la thunkha loh a hloem ni.
Israel hath cast away what is good; The enemy shall pursue him.
4 A manghai uh akhaw kai lamkah moenih. Boei dae ka ming moenih. A khoe uh ham ni a cak neh a sui te amamih muei la a saii uh.
They have set up kings, but not by me; They have made princes, and I knew it not. Of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols, That they may be brought to destruction.
5 Samaria aw, na vaitoca te hlahpham laeh. Te rhoek taengah ka thintoek loh sai tih, me hil nim cimnah te a noeng uh pawt ve.
An abomination is thy calf, O Samaria! Mine anger is kindled against them; How long will it be ere they can attain to purity!
6 Te te Israel lamkah tih kutthai long te te a saii. Samaria vaitoca he Pathen moenih a nuei a pil lamni a om eh.
For from Israel it came; The workman made it, and it is no God; Yea, into fragments shall the calf of Samaria be broken.
7 Khohli a soem uh tih cangpalam la a ah uh. Canghli khaw a cangdueng om pawt tih buh la poeh mahpawh. Poeh cakhaw kholong loh a dolh mai khaming.
They have sown the wind, And they shall reap the whirlwind. They shall have no standing harvest; The ear shall yield no meal; If perchance it yield, strangers shall devour it.
8 Isreal te a dolh coeng tih a taengah ngaihnah aka om pawh hnopai bangla namtom taengah om uh coeng.
Israel is swallowed up; Soon shall they become among the nations As a vessel which no one desireth.
9 Amih Assyria la cet uh tih Ephraim loh amah la aka pangoe kohong marhang a lunguem rhoek te a paang uh.
For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a solitary wild-ass; Ephraim hireth lovers;
10 Namtom taengah paang sitoe cakhaw amih te ka coi pawn vetih, mangpa rhoek kah manghai hnorhih hmuiah poeih uh pawn ni.
But though they hire among the nations, Soon will I gather the nations against them; Then shall they rest a little while from the burden of their king, and their princes!
11 Ephraim loh tholh hamla hmueihtuk a ping sak dongah anih ham tah hmueihtuk tholh la a om pah ni.
Ephraim hath built many altars for sin, Therefore shall he have altars for sin.
12 Ka olkhueng cungkuem he anih ham thawngrha hil a daek khaw ka daek coeng dae kholong kah bangla a ngai.
Though I write for him many laws, They are accounted as a strange thing;
13 Kai kah kutdoe hmueih la maeh a nawn uh khaw pahoi a caak uh dongah BOEIPA loh amih a moeithen moenih. Amih kathaesainah te a poek pawn vetih amih kah tholhnah te a cawh ni. Amih te Egypt la mael uh ni.
As to the sacrifices which they should offer me, they slay flesh and eat it; Jehovah hath no pleasure in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, And punish their sins; To Egypt shall they return.
14 Israel loh amah aka saii vik te a hnilh tih bawkim a sak. Judah long khaw khopuei vong cak te a ping sak. Tedae a khopuei soah hmai ka tueih vetih a impuei a hlawp pah ni.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, And Judah hath multiplied fenced cities; But I will send a fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces.
