Hosea 8
1 BOEIPA im ah atha bangla na ka dongah tuki mop laeh. Ka paipi a poe uh tih ka olkhueng soah boe a koek uh.
[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.
2 Kai taengah tah, “Ka Pathen aw Israel he namah kah la ka ming uh,” tila rhap uh.
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Israel khaw hnothen a hlahpham dongah amah la thunkha loh a hloem ni.
Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 A manghai uh akhaw kai lamkah moenih. Boei dae ka ming moenih. A khoe uh ham ni a cak neh a sui te amamih muei la a saii uh.
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 them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Samaria aw, na vaitoca te hlahpham laeh. Te rhoek taengah ka thintoek loh sai tih, me hil nim cimnah te a noeng uh pawt ve.
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocency?
6 Te te Israel lamkah tih kutthai long te te a saii. Samaria vaitoca he Pathen moenih a nuei a pil lamni a om eh.
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.
7 Khohli a soem uh tih cangpalam la a ah uh. Canghli khaw a cangdueng om pawt tih buh la poeh mahpawh. Poeh cakhaw kholong loh a dolh mai khaming.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Isreal te a dolh coeng tih a taengah ngaihnah aka om pawh hnopai bangla namtom taengah om uh coeng.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure.
9 Amih Assyria la cet uh tih Ephraim loh amah la aka pangoe kohong marhang a lunguem rhoek te a paang uh.
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Namtom taengah paang sitoe cakhaw amih te ka coi pawn vetih, mangpa rhoek kah manghai hnorhih hmuiah poeih uh pawn ni.
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.
11 Ephraim loh tholh hamla hmueihtuk a ping sak dongah anih ham tah hmueihtuk tholh la a om pah ni.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 Ka olkhueng cungkuem he anih ham thawngrha hil a daek khaw ka daek coeng dae kholong kah bangla a ngai.
I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Kai kah kutdoe hmueih la maeh a nawn uh khaw pahoi a caak uh dongah BOEIPA loh amih a moeithen moenih. Amih kathaesainah te a poek pawn vetih amih kah tholhnah te a cawh ni. Amih te Egypt la mael uh ni.
They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat [it; but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Israel loh amah aka saii vik te a hnilh tih bawkim a sak. Judah long khaw khopuei vong cak te a ping sak. Tedae a khopuei soah hmai ka tueih vetih a impuei a hlawp pah ni.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
