< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel hi iti khanna khangtou hiuvem? Kihoithosahna lengpigui, aga bohkeng konga ga. Agamsungu ahao jep jepleh, gamchom mite indoi jong atamcheh chehin ahi.
A luxuriant vine is Israel. He bore fruit lavishly. In proportion to the increase of his fruit he increased altars to idols. In proportion to the beauty of his land he made beautiful the sacred pillars.
2 Alungthimu jong jou le nal jeng adimset in, hijeha chu tua hi athemmo nau mo akipoh teidiu ahi. Alungthimu hoitalou hijeha chu gotna chang dinguahi. Pakaiyin amaicham jouseu jong asuhsetna, aphuh lhuh ding, adoikhom joseu jong asuh mang soh kei ding ahi.
Their heart is false, now they must be punished. God himself will break the necks of their altars, he will destroy their sacred pillars.
3 Chutengleh amahon seijuntin, “Keihon leng kaneipouve, ipijeh-inem itileh keihon Pakai kaging tapouve, ahinlah kaneijuvin jong, ipi eibol peh behuvem?”
Yes, soon they will be saying, “We have no king, for we have not revered the Lord, and a king, what could he do for us anyway?”
4 Thu homkeo asei seijuvin, jouva kihahsel abol boljengun, kitepna asem semjengui. Hijeh chun loulaiya tucha nunga dumom keh dondoh bangin thinathei thu kitan chu ahung sohdohjinge.
Speaking words, perjuring themselves, making agreements, and litigation springs up like a poisonous weed in a plowed field.
5 Samaria khopia chengte chu, Beth-aven a bongnou lim kisem jeh'in abonchauvin akihot lhul gam tauve. Hiche milim kisem chung chang jeh'a hi amite lungkham diu, Amilim houna'a thempua pang ho jong hung kap diu ahi. Aloupina akitol mang jeh'a lunghem diu ahiye.
The inhabitants of Samaria will tremble with fear for their calf of Beth-aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its priests, who had rejoiced for its glory, now departed from it.
6 Hiche milim doi jong hi Assyria gam'a kitol mang ding, Chule leng lenpa henga kai apeh diu ahi. Ephraim jong milim doi ahou jeh'a ajumin van ahol ding, Israel jong kijum soa jachatna akimu ding ahi.
It will be carried off to Assyria as a present to the patron king. Disgrace will Ephraim bear and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 Samaria lengpa jong mangthah ding, twi chunga thinghal kilap bang ding ahi.
As for Samaria, her king will disappear, like foam on the face of the waters.
8 Israel chonsetna jouse kisubei hel ding, aven khoa khomol doiphung jouse jong kisubei ding, amaicham phung jouseu a jong lingle khao hung keh doh ding ahi. Molsang jouse jaha jong neikhu khumuvin atiuva, lhangsang jouse jaha jong neile’uvin ati dingu ahi.
And the high places of Aven will be destroyed, the shrines of Israel’s sin, thorns and thistles will grow on their altars, and they will say to the mountains, “Cover us,” and to the hills, “Fall upon us.”
9 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vo Israel, Gibeah nikho laiya pat nangma chonse jingjeng nahin, Khantoubena imacha naboldohbe ima aumpoi. Hiche jeh'a hi Gibeah khopi gallin alonkhum lou ding ham?
From the time of Gibeah, Israel has sinned. There they took their stand. Will not war overtake them in Gibeah because of the wicked?
10 Themmona avelvella anei jeh uva, hil lel pholel mite doudinga keima kahunga amaho dou dia namtin vaipi kakhop ding ahi.
When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes.
11 Ephraim hi phatea kihil themsa chang chil ding thanom jing bongnou gol tobang ahin, Angong chang jolsilsel chu kadep dep ahin, Ahin Ephraim namkol kabupeha, Judan jong, lou akai teitei ding, Jacob jengin jong louva thingtum akitah ding ahi.
Ephraim indeed was a trained heifer that loved to thresh grain, and I myself laid a yoke upon his fair neck, I made Ephraim draw and Judah must plow, Jacob must turn the soil for himself.
12 Nangma ding chehin chondihna muchi tun kitu soh keiyuvinlang lungset longlou chu aga kilo sohkeiyuvin lang, nalung tah chu kikhoikeh in, tuhi Pakai holphat ahitai. Pakai ahunga huhhingna nachunguva goju banga ajuhsahna dinga, tuphat tah hi Pakai hol phat ahi.
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruits of love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, so righteousness may come to you.
13 Ahilah nanghon gitlouna chu lou kaijin nakaiyun, khan gitlouna na tun, lepchena ga naneove. Ajeh chu nanghon nangho lampi seh sehle nami hat tamtah hobou natahsanun ahi.
But you have plowed wickedness, iniquity have you reaped. You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own path, in the multitude of your warriors,
14 Tua hi namite chunga galkhoh tah hunga nakulpiu kisuse ding, Minu chu achate chunga ahel hela kitatkeh ding ahi??
the alarm of war will sound in your cities and all your fortresses will be ruined, as Shalman laid in ruins Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces over their children.
15 Nakhan gitlouna alet jeh'a, Bethel in nachunga na atoh ding ahi. Jingkah lamleh Israel lengpa chu kisumang hel ding ahi.
Thus will I do to you, Bethel, because of the enormity of your wickedness. When dawn breaks, so will the king of Israel be broken.
