Hosea 8
1 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.
Mongkah to ueng ah! Kaminawk mah ka lokmaihaih to phraek o moe, ka patuk ih lok to aek o pongah, Anih loe angraeng ih im taek hanah tahmu baktiah angzo tih.
2 Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
Israel mah kai khaeah, ka Sithaw, nang to kang panoek! tiah hang tih.
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Toe Israel mah kahoih hmuen to pahnawt pongah, misa mah anih to patom tih.
4 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 for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Kai naakrakhaih om ai ah, ukkung siangpahrangnawk to a suek; nihcae mah ukkung angraengnawk to qoih o, toe to kaminawk to ka tapom pae ai. Angmacae amro hanah sui, sum kanglung hoiah krang to a sak o.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
Aw Samaria, maitaw caa krang to na sak pongah palung ka phui; ciimcai hanah nasetto maw akra vop tih?
6 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.
To baktih hmuennawk loe Israel mah na ai maw sak! To hmuen loe bantok sah kop kami mah sak rumram ih hmuen ah ni oh, Sithaw na ai ni; Samaria mah sak ih maitaw caa krang loe koi phaeng tih.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Nihcae loe takhi to haeh o moe, takhi kamhae to ni a aah o. Akung loe aquih om ai; natuek naah doeh athai mak ai. Athaih athai langlacadoeh prae kalah kaminawk mah caa o boih tih.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
Israel loe paaeh ving boeh; nihcae loe vaihi koeh koi kaom ai sabae baktiah Gentelnawk salakah oh o boeh.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Nihcae loe taw ah angmabueng kaom laa hrang baktiah ni, Assyria ah caeh o; Ephraim loe tlangainawk khaeah angmah hoi angmah to ang zawh.
10 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.
Ue, nihcae loe prae kaminawk salakah angmah hoi angmah ang zaw langlacadoeh, vaihi nihcae to ka pakhueng let han; ukkung angraengnawk pacaekthlaek pongah, nihcae loe palungsethaih tong o tih.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
Ephraim loe zaehaih hmuen tathlang hanah pop parai hmaicam to sak, toe to hmaicamnawk loe zaesakhaih ahmuen ah ni oh.
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
Anih han kalen parai ka paek ih lok to ka tarik pae boeh, toe nihcae mah hmuen kalah ah poek o.
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Nihcae mah kai hanah moi paekhaih to sak o moe, moi to a caak o, toe nihcae mah paek ih hmuen to Angraeng mah tapom pae ai. Vaihi anih mah nihcae zaehaih to pakuem ueloe, nihcae mah sak o ih zaehaih baktih toengah danpaek tih. To pacoengah nihcae loe Izip prae ah amlaem o tih.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
Israel loe angmah Sahkung to pahnet ving boeh, tempulnawk to a sak boeh; Judah mah kapop vangpui pakahaih sipae to sak boeh; toe anih ih vangpui nuiah hmai to ka patoeh han, to naah anih angraenghaih ahmuen to hmai mah kangh boih tih.
