Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Ephraim tah rhihnah neh cal tih anih te Israel khuiah a pomsang. Tedae Baal rhangneh a boe dongah ni a duek.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Tedae tholh te a koei uh coeng dongah amamih ham amamih kah cak te a lungcuei tarhing ah mueihloe la a saii uh. Te boeih te kutthai rhoek kah kutci muei mai. Te te amih loh, “Aka nawn hlang loh vaitoca te mok uh,” a ti uh.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the chimney.
Te dongah mincang cingmai bangla, thoh hang neh aka hma buemtui bangla, cangtilhmuen lamkah aka thikthuek cangkik bangla, bangbuet lamkah hmaikhu bangla om uh ni.
4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me.
Tedae Egypt khohmuen lamkah pataeng na Pathen tah Yahweh kamah ni. Kai phoeiah pathen a tloe na ming noek moenih kai mueh ah khangkung khaw a om moenih.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Rhamling khohmuen kah khosoek ah pataeng kai loh nang kan ming coeng.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Amih kah rhamtlim neh hah la hah uh tih a lungbuei a pomsang. Te dongah ni kai n'hnilh uh.
7 Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
Te dongah amih soah sathuengca bangla ka om vetih kaihlaeng bangla longpuei ah ka mae ni.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the fat of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Amih te dueidah laemhong vom bangla ka doe vetih a lungbuei kah a pahuep ka phen pah ni. Te vaengah sathuengnu loh kohong mulhing a baeh bangla amih te pahoi ka dolh ni.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.
Nang kah bomkung kamah taeng lamloh Israel nang te m'phae ni.
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
Na khopuei boeih ah nang aka khang ham na manghai neh nang kah lai aka tloek bal te ta? Te la, “Kai hamla manghai neh mangpa la m'pae,” na ti dae.
11 I gave thee a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
Manghai te nang taengah ka thintoek neh kam paek tih ka thinpom neh kan lat.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
Ephraim kathaesainah loh puen a cak tih a tholhnah te a khoem pah coeng.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
Ca cun bungtloh loh anih taengah pai coeng. Anih tah camoe khaw a cueih moenih. Ca om tue vaengah khaw a om moenih.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Amih te saelkhui kut lamloh ka lat ni. Amih te dueknah lamloh ka tlan ni. Dueknah nang kah duektahaw te melae? Saelkhui nang kah lucik te melae? Suemnah khaw ka mik lamloh thuh uh ni. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall plunder the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Anih te pacaboeina lakli ah a thaih rhah mai cakhaw BOEIPA kah kanghawn yilh ha pai ni. Khosoek lamloh a khuen vetih a thunsih khaw kak ni. A tuisih khaw a khah pah ni. Anih te thakvoh khuikah sahnaih hnopai boeih a rhth pah ni.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
A Pathen te a koek dongah Samaria boe coeng. Cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih a camoe rhoek te a til uh ni. A bungvawn khaw a boe pah ni.
