Hosea 12
1 Israel mite huiyin akivahin, chule solam hui lhi chu nilhum lhumin anung ajuiyuve. Amahon jou le gitlouna akan khomun, Assyria mite toh akikhut jop’un Egypt gamsunga thao apolut’un ahi.
But Ephraim is an evil spirit, he has chased the east wind all the day: he has multiplied empty and vain things, and made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil has gone in the way of traffic into Egypt.
2 Tun Pakaiyin Judah mite dounan ahin nokhumin ahi. Jacob chu achonna dungjuija talen apeh ding, anatoh dungjuiya alethuh ding ahi. Ana tohdohsa jouse anung lesohkei ding ahiye.
And the Lord [has] a controversy with Juda, in order to punish Jacob: according to his ways and according to his practices will he recompense him.
3 Anu oisung a kipanin asopipa asuh gentheiyin, Mihem khat banga ahung pen phatin, Pathen jeng jong akibotpin ahi.
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his labours he had power with God.
4 Henge, aman vantil akibotpin, aman ajouvin ahi. Chule kap pumin akoma phattheina akithumin ahi. Hiche-a Bethel a chun Pathen kimaiton akimupin ahi. Chule Pathen in akihoulim pin ahi.
And he prevailed with the angel and was strong: they wept, and entreated me: they found me in the house of On, and there [a word] was spoken to them.
But the Lord God Almighty shall be his memorial.
6 Pakai Pathen van gam sepaite Pakai kitihi ama min chu ahi. Hijeh chun tun, na Pathen henga hung kile kittan. Ngailutna le thutah toh gomin sodohin chule aphat jousen ama jengah kingai jingin,
You therefore shall return to your God: keep you mercy and judgement, and draw near to your God continually.
7 Ahinlah chutiponte, mihem hohi sumkolvei tobang ahibouve. Akhuttaha thil tejia kiveipan mi abol genthei dingbou adeiye.
[As for] Chanaan, in his hand is a balance of unrighteousness: he has loved to tyrannize.
8 Israel akiletsahin, keima kahou nai, Keima dingin vang kakisane! Koiman ka jou bol eimandoh ponte, Ka chung thuhi nolna umlou ahi” ati.
And Ephraim said, Nevertheless I am rich, I have found refreshment to myself. None of his labours shall be found [available] to him, by reason of the sins which he has committed.
9 Ahin keima hi Pakai na Pathen chu kahi, Egypt a soha natana kona nahuhohpa chu kahi. Chule keiman ponbuh sunga kahindohsah kitthei nahi. Kum kiheisih leh golnopma nabol tobanga chu,
But I the Lord your God brought you up out of the land of Egypt: I will yet cause you to dwell in tabernacles, according to the days of the feast.
10 Nangho gihna dinga kathemgao ho kahinsolin, gao thilmu tamtah le thulem tamtah tothon kahin sol’e.
And I will speak to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by the means of the prophets I was represented.
11 Ahinlah Gilead miho chu pannabei ahiuve. Ajeh chu milim houvin apang uvin ahi. Amahon Gilgala bongchalin ganlhaina abollun, amaicham semhou chu loulaiya songtum kigoltoh abange.
If Galaad exists not, then the chiefs in Galaad when they sacrificed were false, and their altars were as heaps on the ground of the field.
12 Jacob chu Ram gamsunga ajamlut in Ram gam'a chun Jacob in ajiding kelngoi vah'in akiloi.
And Jacob retreated into the plain of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and waited for a wife.
13 Themgao khat amanchan, Pakaiyin Egypt a konin Jacob le achilhah ho ahin puidoh tan ahi. Themgao khat jeh'a Israel mite hi imacha boilouva hungdoh thei ahiuve.
And the Lord brought Israel out of the land of Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet was he preserve.
14 Pathen in Israel mite khacheh in aphoh in ahi, ajeh chu amaho achonset puma athi dingu jong chu ahet ahitai.
Ephraim was angry and excited, therefore his blood shall be poured out upon him, and the Lord shall recompense to him his reproach.
