< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Israel loe athaih kahoih misurkung ah oh, angmah han ih ni athaih to athaih; pop parai athaih to athaih naah, anih mah pop aep hmaicam to sak; a prae to hoih pongah, kahoih aep sakcop ih krangnawk to a sak o.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
Nihcae loe poekhaih hnetto ah ampraek pongah, a sak o ih zaehaih atho to hnu o tih. Anih mah nihcae ih hmaicamnawk to paro pae ueloe, nihcae ih krangnawk doeh phrae pae tih.
3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?”
To naah nihcae mah, Angraeng saiqathaih a tawn o ai pongah ni, siangpahrang doeh a tawn o ai; siangpahrang a tawnh o aep to mah, siangpahrang mah aicae hanah tih hmuen maw na sah pae thai tih? tiah a thuih o.
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgement springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
Nihcae loe lokmaihaih to sak o, toe a thuih o ih lok baktiah pazui o ai; to pongah nihcae mah toenghaih hoiah lokcaekhaih to laikok ah kamprawk kasoe kaom phroh baktiah angcoeng o sak.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven, for its people will mourn over it, along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
Samaria ah kaom kaminawk mah Beth Aven ih maitaw caa ih krang to zit o: toe lensawkhaih nihcae khae hoi tacawt ving boeh pongah, to ih krang pongah qaimanawk tasoeh o ueloe, to ih kaminawk mah krang to qah o haih tih.
6 It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
To krang to siangpahrang Jareb tangqum ah paek hanah, Assyria prae ah sin pae o tih: Ephraim loe azat paw ueloe, Israel doeh azathaih tong tih.
7 Samaria and her king float away like a twig on the water.
Samaria hoi anih ih siangpahrang loe tuipoep baktiah payawk ving tih.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
Aven ih hmuensangnawk hoi Israel zaehaih to paro pae tih. Nihcae ih hmaicam nuiah soekhring hoi akhring kaom thing to amprawk tih; to naah nihcae mah maenawk khaeah, Kaicae hae khuk khoep ah, tiah naa o ueloe, maesomnawk khaeah, Kaicae hae taet hmoek ah, tiah naa o tih.
9 “Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.
Aw Israel, na zaehaih loe Gibeah dung nathuem hoiah ni oh boeh; nihcae loe to ah angdoet o. Gibeah ah misatukhaih mah sethaih sah kaminawk to pazawk mak ai maw?
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Ka koeh naah nihcae to ka thuitaek han: zaehaih alet hnetto a sak o pongah, nihcae to danpaek moe, taoengh hanah kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o tih.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plough. Jacob will break his clods.
Ephraim loe cang atit kakoeh, hraem ih maitaw tala baktiah oh; toe khet kahoih qui to tahnong ah ka suek pae han, Ephraim to ka mongh han, Judah mah long atok ueloe, Jakob mah long kae to pakhoih tih.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
Nangmah hanah toenghaih to tuh ah; palungnathaih to aat ah; Angraeng pakronghaih atue loe vaihi phak boeh; anih angzoh moe, na nuiah toenghaih kho angzo ai karoek to, atok vai ai ih long to atok ah.
13 You have ploughed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Toe nang loe sethaih to tuk moe, sethaih to na aah: nang loe nangmah ih tha to nang oep haih, thacak kaminawk to nang oep haih pongah, alinghaih athaih to na caak boeh.
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise amongst your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
To pongah nangmacae kami thung hoiah misa angtuk koehhaih lok to tacawt tih, to naah loe nangcae misa abuephaih doeh amro boih tih, Shalman mah Beth Arbel ih kaminawk paro boih baktih toengah, misa angtukhaih niah amno hoi a caanawk nawnto long va o haih tih.
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
Na sethaih len hmoek boeh pongah, Bethel mah nang to to tiah sah tih: akhawnbang phak naah loe, Israel siangpahrang to hum tih.
