Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Ephraim in thu aseiya mipi lungsung atongkhah teng, akicha jiuve. Ahinlah Ephraim mite chonsetna chu Baal doihou hi ahin, Hiche chun hahsat nale gentheinaa apuilut’u ahi.
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.
Tunjong chonset aboljom jingun adangkau ho chu akhengun milim doi in tamtah tah asemun ahi. Hitobang milim doi hohi mihem khut themho semdoh jeng ahibouve. “Hichea hi kithou jiuva” Kapjiuva, “chule bongnou lim chu achopjiu ahi!”
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.
Hiche jeh'a chu, jingkah meibol banga mangthah diu, ni asotengleh mangthah tobang jingkah daitwi hidiu, Changsi huiyin amut teng alenmang tobang, Meikhu, apotna a hungpot doh tobangbep hidiu ahi.
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.
Keima hi na Pakai na Pathen chu kanahi. Egypt gam'a kon nanapuidoh pachu kahi. Nangman nahet ding chu kei tilou Pathen dang umlou ahi. Hiche jeh'a chu huhhingpu adang umlou ahi nahet ding ahi.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Gamthipgama chu kachintup nahiuve, Gamgolah kel leh dangchah nagama chun,
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Ahinlah naneh tengule nalung lhaijun, nakipa tenguleh nakiletsahun nei sumil ji tauve.
7 Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
Hijeha chu tua hi keipi bahkai kabah ding, Lutnu banga lampama kakisel-a kanga diu,
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.
Vompin acha akichom doh banga kachom ding, Nalungchang kabokeh ding, Keipi bahkai gilkel in abotal banga
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.
Nangma ka suhmang dingkon cha nahitai. O Israel, Henge, napanpi jing keimatahin kasuhmang ding nahi.
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?
Tua hi nahuhhing ding nalengpa hoiya umtam? Tuhin nahuh hing tahtao! Tua hi gamsunga milen milal ho chu hoiya umgam hitauvem? Na lengpaule na milen ho chun kei eiholluve.
11 I gave thee a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
Kalunghan laitahin leng kana peuvin, Kalungat phatin abonchan kaladoh soh tai.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
Ephraim phatlouna cheng akidong khomin, Chule achonset jouse gotna a dingin akikoi khome.
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.
Mipite chunga natna chu hungding ahitan Nao sonat tobang hiding ahi. Amaho chapang tobang ahiuve. Alethuhna ding chu apengtai, Apettaha penna chu ahung lhung tai. Ahinlah amaho chu oisunga umnalai ahiuve.
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)
Lhankhuha kona kalhadoh ding ham? Amaho thina-a kona kalhat doh ding ham? Vo thina mamidena chu hoi baham? Vo noimigam, namisuhmangna hoiba hitam? Achunguva lungsetna kakoi lou ding ahiye. (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.
Ephraim chu asopite ho jouse laha gaso pentah ahi, ahinlah Pakaiya kona hung, neldi gam'a kon hui chun asem gotding ahi. A twisam jouse kangin tin, anei agou jouse jong mangthah ding ahi. Thil manlu anei jouseu chu min achoma akipoh mong ding ahi.
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.
Samaria miten athemmona akipohdiu ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai chu adoudallun ahi. Amaho chu galmi hon atha diu ahi, Achasen jouse jong tollhanga kichil goi ding, Anumei agai jouseu jong agaiju kikhedoh ding ahi.
