Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and pursueth after the east wind: all day long he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
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.
2 Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and he will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
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.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he wrestled with God.
Anu oisung a kipanin asopipa asuh gentheiyin, Mihem khat banga ahung pen phatin, Pathen jeng jong akibotpin ahi.
4 Yea, he wrestled with the Angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us,
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.
5 — even Jehovah, the God of hosts, — Jehovah is his memorial.
6 And thou, return unto thy God: keep loving-kindness and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
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,
7 [He is] a merchant, balances of deceit are in his hand; he loveth to oppress.
Ahinlah chutiponte, mihem hohi sumkolvei tobang ahibouve. Akhuttaha thil tejia kiveipan mi abol genthei dingbou adeiye.
8 And Ephraim saith, Nevertheless I am become rich, I have found me out substance; in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
Israel akiletsahin, keima kahou nai, Keima dingin vang kakisane! Koiman ka jou bol eimandoh ponte, Ka chung thuhi nolna umlou ahi” ati.
9 But I [that am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt will again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
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,
10 And I have spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by means of the prophets have I used similitudes.
Nangho gihna dinga kathemgao ho kahinsolin, gao thilmu tamtah le thulem tamtah tothon kahin sol’e.
11 If Gilead is iniquity, surely they are but vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
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.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
Jacob chu Ram gamsunga ajamlut in Ram gam'a chun Jacob in ajiding kelngoi vah'in akiloi.
13 And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
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.
14 Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly; and his Lord shall leave his blood upon him, and recompense unto him his reproach.
Pathen in Israel mite khacheh in aphoh in ahi, ajeh chu amaho achonset puma athi dingu jong chu ahet ahitai.
