Hosea 8
1 “Pakai mite douna-a, galmite muvanlai banga hung ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kakitepna asukehun ahi. Chule ka danthu dounan asukhel taove.
SET the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Ka Pathen keihon nangma kaheuve, tia Israel chu kaheng lama hungpeng ding ahi.
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Ahinlah tun ageisangtai, kami Israelten thilpha adeipouve.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Keimaa kon hilouvin, amahon lengho akitun dohuvin, apipui ho akisemun, hichu keiman kahephapoi. Paidoha aum nadiuvin, adangka le a sana houvin, milim akisemun ahi.
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 them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Vo Samaria nabong nouvin nangma napampai ahitan, Kalung hanna nangma douna-a koudoh ahitai. Monabei ahina dingu chu itihchan hinalai dingham?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 Ajeh chu Israel a kona jong chuti ahi, khutthem miho thilsem ahin, Hijeh chun Pathen ahipoi, chuleh Samaria bongnou chu ahal halla kisuchip ding ahi.
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Amahon hui chu muchi tua atu-u ahin, chimpei akiat dingu ahi. Hichun kung aneipon, adon jong chun nehding agadoh sah theilou ahi.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israel mite vallhumin aumtai, tun amaho chu vannoiya chiding namdang ho lah-a lunglhaina umloubeh tobang hiding ahitauve.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 Ejeh inem itile amaho gamlaha sangan chang lhat bangin Assyria mite heng lama achetouvun ahi. Ephraim in kideipi din aki thalahe. Israel mite hi amale ama kijoh ahiuvin, angailut miho koma kijoh ahiuve.
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Ahinlah mi tamtah ho koma kijoh jongleu, nikhatle ka puikhom ding ahi.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Israel in chonset pomang dingin maicham tampi asem jeh'in, maicham ho chu ama dinga chonsetna ding joh ahung hitai.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 Dan tamtah kapeh vang'in, hiche ho chu hepha lou bangin angaitoi.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Israel miten gan-kilhaina thilto angailuvin, ahinlah hichu keidin pannabei ahi.
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Israel in asempa asumilin, in thupitah tah asan, chule Judan kulpi nei khopi apunsah in ahi. Hijeh a chu keiman khopi ho chunga mei kasol ding, hichun, aleng inpihou akah chai ding ahi.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
