Hosea 10
1 Israel tah misur bangla culh tih amah ah a thaih om. A thaih te a pul bangla hmueihtuk khaw ping. A khohmuen a then bangla kaam dongah lohna uh.
Israel was a luxuriant vine, which put forth fruit freely: as his fruit increased, he increased his altars; the more goodly his land was, the more goodly were his pillars.
2 A lungbuei hoem uh tih boe uh coeng. Amah loh amih kah hmueihtuk a phil pah vetih a kaam te a rhoelrhak pah ni.
Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt; He will break down their altars, He will spoil their pillars.
3 Te dongah, “BOEIPA he n'rhih uh pawt dongah mamih he manghai tal coeng dae manghai loh mamih ham balae a saii eh?” a ti uh pawn ni.
Surely now shall they say: 'We have no king; for we feared not the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?'
4 Paipi saii ham vaengah a poeyoek la tap ham ol a thui uh dongah lai kong ah laitloeknah sue la cawn.
They speak words, they swear falsely, they make covenants; thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 Bethaven vaitola te Samaria imben loh a bakuep uh thil tih a pilnam loh a soah nguekcoi. A mueirhol khosoih rhoek te a so neh a thangpomnah dongah omngaih dae anih lamkah te a poelyoe pah hae coeng.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in dread for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
6 Amah te khaw Assyria ah Jareb manghai kah khocang la a khuen ni. Ephraim loh yah a poh vetih Israel khaw amah kah cilsuep dongah yak ni.
It also shall be carried unto Assyria, for a present to King Contentious; Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Samaria he hmata ni, a manghai khaw tui hman kah tuihom banghui ni.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
8 Israel kah tholhnah boethae hmuensang kah tim ni. Amih kah hmueihtuk soah hling neh lota luei vetih, “Tlang rhoek te kaimih n'et lamtah som rhoek te kaimih soah cungku lah,” a ti uh ni.
The high places also of Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains: 'Cover us', and to the hills: 'Fall on us.'
9 Gibeah tue lamloh Israel nang na tholh tih pahoi pai uh. Gibeah ah hlangthae koca taengla caemtloek khaw amih te a kae moenih.
From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel; there they stood; no battle was to overtake them in Gibeah, nor the children of arrogancy.
10 Ka hue vaengah amih te ka toel pueng ni. Amih kathaesainah dongah amih te tholhnah rhaepnit neh a pin vaengah pilnam loh amih taengah tingtun uh bitni.
When it is My desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are yoked to their two rings.
11 Ephraim he cang til ham aka lungnah vaitola bangla a cang dae kai loh a rhawn then te ka nan thil ni. Ephraim ka ngol thil vaengah Judah loh a yoe vetih Jakob loh amah hamla a thoe ni.
And Ephraim is a heifer well broken, that loveth to thresh, and I have passed over upon her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride, Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Namamih ham duengnah te soem uh lamtah sitlohnah ol te at uh. Namamih kah khohai te yawt uh. Nangmih soah duengnah pai tih n'thuinuet hil tah BOEIPA te toem ham tue coeng ni.
Sow to yourselves according to righteousness, reap according to mercy, break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and cause righteousness to rain upon you.
13 Halangnah la na thoe uh dongah dumlai na ah uh. Na longpuei ah na hlangrhalh cungkuem neh na pangtung dongah laithae thaih ni na caak uh.
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14 Na pilnam taengah longlonah pai vetih na hmuencak boeih te caemtloek hnin kah manu neh camoe aka til Betharbel Shalman rhoelrhanah bangla a rhoelrhak ni.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy hosts, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
15 Nangmih kah boethae, boethae hmai ah Bethel loh nangmih ham a saii tangloeng pawn ni. Mincang ah Israel manghai te hmata rhoe hmata ni.
So hath Beth-el done unto you because of your great wickedness; at daybreak is the king of Israel utterly cut off.
