Hosea 13
1 Ephraim in thu aseiya mipi lungsung atongkhah teng, akicha jiuve. Ahinlah Ephraim mite chonsetna chu Baal doihou hi ahin, Hiche chun hahsat nale gentheinaa apuilut’u ahi.
When once Ephraim spoke, [all] trembled, so high was he exalted in Israel; but he offended through Ba'al, and he died.
2 Tunjong chonset aboljom jingun adangkau ho chu akhengun milim doi in tamtah tah asemun ahi. Hitobang milim doi hohi mihem khut themho semdoh jeng ahibouve. “Hichea hi kithou jiuva” Kapjiuva, “chule bongnou lim chu achopjiu ahi!”
And now they yet continue to sin, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, idols according to their own imagining, every one of them the work of the artisan: they say to them, They that sacrifice men may kiss the calves.
3 Hiche jeh'a chu, jingkah meibol banga mangthah diu, ni asotengleh mangthah tobang jingkah daitwi hidiu, Changsi huiyin amut teng alenmang tobang, Meikhu, apotna a hungpot doh tobangbep hidiu ahi.
Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven by the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as smoke out of a window.
4 Keima hi na Pakai na Pathen chu kanahi. Egypt gam'a kon nanapuidoh pachu kahi. Nangman nahet ding chu kei tilou Pathen dang umlou ahi. Hiche jeh'a chu huhhingpu adang umlou ahi nahet ding ahi.
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and no god but me shalt thou know, and there is no saviour beside me.
5 Gamthipgama chu kachintup nahiuve, Gamgolah kel leh dangchah nagama chun,
I myself did provide for thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Ahinlah naneh tengule nalung lhaijun, nakipa tenguleh nakiletsahun nei sumil ji tauve.
When they came to their pasture, they became sated; they were sated, and their heart was lifted up: therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Hijeha chu tua hi keipi bahkai kabah ding, Lutnu banga lampama kakisel-a kanga diu,
And now I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I lie in wait by the way.
8 Vompin acha akichom doh banga kachom ding, Nalungchang kabokeh ding, Keipi bahkai gilkel in abotal banga
I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and I will rend their closed-up heart; and I will devour them there like a lioness, the beasts of the field shall rend them.
9 Nangma ka suhmang dingkon cha nahitai. O Israel, Henge, napanpi jing keimatahin kasuhmang ding nahi.
Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel; for against me, against thy helper [didst thou rebel.]
10 Tua hi nahuhhing ding nalengpa hoiya umtam? Tuhin nahuh hing tahtao! Tua hi gamsunga milen milal ho chu hoiya umgam hitauvem? Na lengpaule na milen ho chun kei eiholluve.
Where then is now thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, since thou saidst, Give me a king, and princes?
11 Kalunghan laitahin leng kana peuvin, Kalungat phatin abonchan kaladoh soh tai.
I give thee a king in my anger, and take him away in my wrath.
12 Ephraim phatlouna cheng akidong khomin, Chule achonset jouse gotna a dingin akikoi khome.
Bound up is the iniquity of Ephraim, treasured up is his sin.
13 Mipite chunga natna chu hungding ahitan Nao sonat tobang hiding ahi. Amaho chapang tobang ahiuve. Alethuhna ding chu apengtai, Apettaha penna chu ahung lhung tai. Ahinlah amaho chu oisunga umnalai ahiuve.
The pains of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for he will not remain steadfast at the time of the breaking forth of the child.
14 Lhankhuha kona kalhadoh ding ham? Amaho thina-a kona kalhat doh ding ham? Vo thina mamidena chu hoi baham? Vo noimigam, namisuhmangna hoiba hitam? Achunguva lungsetna kakoi lou ding ahiye. (Sheol h7585)
From the power of the grave would I ransom them, from death would I redeem them; [but now] where are thy plagues, O death, where is thy pestilence, O grave? compassion shall be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ephraim chu asopite ho jouse laha gaso pentah ahi, ahinlah Pakaiya kona hung, neldi gam'a kon hui chun asem gotding ahi. A twisam jouse kangin tin, anei agou jouse jong mangthah ding ahi. Thil manlu anei jouseu chu min achoma akipoh mong ding ahi.
Though he grow luxuriantly in the green meadows, the east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord, rising up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: the same shall plunder the treasure of all precious vessels.
16 Samaria miten athemmona akipohdiu ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai chu adoudallun ahi. Amaho chu galmi hon atha diu ahi, Achasen jouse jong tollhanga kichil goi ding, Anumei agai jouseu jong agaiju kikhedoh ding ahi.
Samaria shall meet her punishment; for she hath rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
