Hosea 8
1 “Pakai mite douna-a, galmite muvanlai banga hung ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kakitepna asukehun ahi. Chule ka danthu dounan asukhel taove.
Put the horn to your mouth! An eagle swoops down upon the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant, trespassed against my law.
2 Ka Pathen keihon nangma kaheuve, tia Israel chu kaheng lama hungpeng ding ahi.
To me they continually cry, “My God, we Israel, we know you!”
3 Ahinlah tun ageisangtai, kami Israelten thilpha adeipouve.
But Israel has spurned that which is good, so let the foe pursue him.
4 Keimaa kon hilouvin, amahon lengho akitun dohuvin, apipui ho akisemun, hichu keiman kahephapoi. Paidoha aum nadiuvin, adangka le a sana houvin, milim akisemun ahi.
They themselves have made kings but without my consent. They have made princes but without my knowledge. Out of their silver and gold, they have made idols to their destruction!
5 Vo Samaria nabong nouvin nangma napampai ahitan, Kalung hanna nangma douna-a koudoh ahitai. Monabei ahina dingu chu itihchan hinalai dingham?
Your calf idol, O Samaria, is distasteful. My anger is kindled against them. How long will they escape punishment?
6 Ajeh chu Israel a kona jong chuti ahi, khutthem miho thilsem ahin, Hijeh chun Pathen ahipoi, chuleh Samaria bongnou chu ahal halla kisuchip ding ahi.
Israel made the thing: a workman made it. It is not a god! Samaria’s calf will become mere splinters.
7 Amahon hui chu muchi tua atu-u ahin, chimpei akiat dingu ahi. Hichun kung aneipon, adon jong chun nehding agadoh sah theilou ahi.
They sow the wind and will reap the whirlwind. A shoot which has no stalk, yields no fruit If it should yield, strangers would devour it.
8 Israel mite vallhumin aumtai, tun amaho chu vannoiya chiding namdang ho lah-a lunglhaina umloubeh tobang hiding ahitauve.
Israel is devoured. Already it lies discarded among the nations like a worthless pot.
9 Ejeh inem itile amaho gamlaha sangan chang lhat bangin Assyria mite heng lama achetouvun ahi. Ephraim in kideipi din aki thalahe. Israel mite hi amale ama kijoh ahiuvin, angailut miho koma kijoh ahiuve.
For by themselves they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey which wanders by itself. Ephraim pays for love
10 Ahinlah mi tamtah ho koma kijoh jongleu, nikhatle ka puikhom ding ahi.
but even if they sell themselves among the nations, I will round them up. Soon the kings and princes will writhe under the burden of tribute!
11 Israel in chonset pomang dingin maicham tampi asem jeh'in, maicham ho chu ama dinga chonsetna ding joh ahung hitai.
For as many altars as Ephraim has erected, they are to him altars for sinning,
12 Dan tamtah kapeh vang'in, hiche ho chu hepha lou bangin angaitoi.
were I to write for him ever so many instructions, they would be regarded as from a stranger.
13 Israel miten gan-kilhaina thilto angailuvin, ahinlah hichu keidin pannabei ahi.
The people love sacrifice, and so they offer sacrifices, meat, and so they eat it, although the Lord is not pleased with them, so now he will remember their guilt, and punish their sins. Back to Egypt with them!
14 Israel in asempa asumilin, in thupitah tah asan, chule Judan kulpi nei khopi apunsah in ahi. Hijeh a chu keiman khopi ho chunga mei kasol ding, hichun, aleng inpihou akah chai ding ahi.
For Israel forgot his Maker and built palaces, and Judah multiplied fortified cities. But I will send fire upon her cities, and it will devour her strongholds.
