< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel hi iti khanna khangtou hiuvem? Kihoithosahna lengpigui, aga bohkeng konga ga. Agamsungu ahao jep jepleh, gamchom mite indoi jong atamcheh chehin ahi.
Israel was a luxuriant vine, yielding fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he increased the altars. The better his land produced, the better he made the sacred pillars.
2 Alungthimu jong jou le nal jeng adimset in, hijeha chu tua hi athemmo nau mo akipoh teidiu ahi. Alungthimu hoitalou hijeha chu gotna chang dinguahi. Pakaiyin amaicham jouseu jong asuhsetna, aphuh lhuh ding, adoikhom joseu jong asuh mang soh kei ding ahi.
Their hearts are devious; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars and demolish their sacred pillars.
3 Chutengleh amahon seijuntin, “Keihon leng kaneipouve, ipijeh-inem itileh keihon Pakai kaging tapouve, ahinlah kaneijuvin jong, ipi eibol peh behuvem?”
Surely now they will say, “We have no king, for we do not revere the LORD. What can a king do for us?”
4 Thu homkeo asei seijuvin, jouva kihahsel abol boljengun, kitepna asem semjengui. Hijeh chun loulaiya tucha nunga dumom keh dondoh bangin thinathei thu kitan chu ahung sohdohjinge.
They speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5 Samaria khopia chengte chu, Beth-aven a bongnou lim kisem jeh'in abonchauvin akihot lhul gam tauve. Hiche milim kisem chung chang jeh'a hi amite lungkham diu, Amilim houna'a thempua pang ho jong hung kap diu ahi. Aloupina akitol mang jeh'a lunghem diu ahiye.
The people of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn with its idolatrous priests— those who rejoiced in its glory— for it has been taken from them into exile.
6 Hiche milim doi jong hi Assyria gam'a kitol mang ding, Chule leng lenpa henga kai apeh diu ahi. Ephraim jong milim doi ahou jeh'a ajumin van ahol ding, Israel jong kijum soa jachatna akimu ding ahi.
Yes, it will be carried to Assyria as tribute to the great king. Ephraim will be seized with shame; Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.
7 Samaria lengpa jong mangthah ding, twi chunga thinghal kilap bang ding ahi.
Samaria will be carried off with her king like a twig on the surface of the water.
8 Israel chonsetna jouse kisubei hel ding, aven khoa khomol doiphung jouse jong kisubei ding, amaicham phung jouseu a jong lingle khao hung keh doh ding ahi. Molsang jouse jaha jong neikhu khumuvin atiuva, lhangsang jouse jaha jong neile’uvin ati dingu ahi.
The high places of Aven will be destroyed— it is the sin of Israel; thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vo Israel, Gibeah nikho laiya pat nangma chonse jingjeng nahin, Khantoubena imacha naboldohbe ima aumpoi. Hiche jeh'a hi Gibeah khopi gallin alonkhum lou ding ham?
Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, and there you have remained. Did not the battle in Gibeah overtake the sons of iniquity?
10 Themmona avelvella anei jeh uva, hil lel pholel mite doudinga keima kahunga amaho dou dia namtin vaipi kakhop ding ahi.
I will chasten them when I please; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bondage for their double transgression.
11 Ephraim hi phatea kihil themsa chang chil ding thanom jing bongnou gol tobang ahin, Angong chang jolsilsel chu kadep dep ahin, Ahin Ephraim namkol kabupeha, Judan jong, lou akai teitei ding, Jacob jengin jong louva thingtum akitah ding ahi.
Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.
12 Nangma ding chehin chondihna muchi tun kitu soh keiyuvinlang lungset longlou chu aga kilo sohkeiyuvin lang, nalung tah chu kikhoikeh in, tuhi Pakai holphat ahitai. Pakai ahunga huhhingna nachunguva goju banga ajuhsahna dinga, tuphat tah hi Pakai hol phat ahi.
Sow for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.
13 Ahilah nanghon gitlouna chu lou kaijin nakaiyun, khan gitlouna na tun, lepchena ga naneove. Ajeh chu nanghon nangho lampi seh sehle nami hat tamtah hobou natahsanun ahi.
You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,
14 Tua hi namite chunga galkhoh tah hunga nakulpiu kisuse ding, Minu chu achate chunga ahel hela kitatkeh ding ahi??
the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be demolished as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.
15 Nakhan gitlouna alet jeh'a, Bethel in nachunga na atoh ding ahi. Jingkah lamleh Israel lengpa chu kisumang hel ding ahi.
Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
