Hosi 8
1 Mongka ueng haw. Taran teh mataw patetlah Cathut imthungkhu kâtaran lahoi a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni ka lawkkam a tapoe awh teh, kâlawk a taran awh.
Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of the LORD; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law.
2 Hatei, ahnimouh ni, kaimae Cathut, kaimouh teh Isarel miphun lah ka o awh teh, Bawipa nang teh na panue awh telah koe a hram awh.
Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
3 Isarelnaw ni hnokahawi a hnoun awh dawkvah, taran ni a rektap han.
Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Kaie kâ laipalah siangpahrang a rawi awh teh, ka panuek laipalah bawinaw hah a rawi awh. Rawk nahanelah amamae sui hoi amamouh hane meikaphawk a sak awh toe.
They have set up kings, but not from 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 Oe Samaria, na maitoca hah tâkhawng leih. Kabawknaw koe ka lungphuen. Ahnimouh ni nâtotouh maw thoungnae panuek laipalah ao awh han vai.
Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 Hate maitoca teh Isarelnaw ni sak e lah ao teh, sak e lah ao dawkvah Cathut nahoeh. Samaria maitoca teh reppasei lah a rawk han.
For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
7 Kahlî cati hah a kahei awh teh, bongparui cang a a awh han. Cakung awm mahoeh. A vui dawk hoi tavai tâcawt mahoeh. A tâco nakunghai ramlouknaw ni a ca awh han.
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Isarel teh payawp lah ao toe. Apinihai a ngaihoeh e hno patetlah Jentelnaw koe ao han.
Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
9 Assiria ram lah amahmawk a cei. Ephraim teh, amadueng kâva e la patetlah a pahrennaw hah aphu a poe toe.
For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Jentelnaw hah aphu a poe eiteh, vaitalahoi, taminaw hah ka pâkhueng han. Nâsittouh ao hoehnahlan, siangpahrang hoi bawinaw e hno hah hnori lah na phu awh han.
Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.
11 Ephraim ni amae yon a kamnue nahanlah thuengnae khoungroe moi a sak dawkvah, khoungroenaw hah ahnie yon telah ati awh han.
For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
12 Kaie kâlawk a lentoenae hah ahni hanelah ka thut pouh toe. Hatei, banglahai ngâi hoeh.
Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
13 Kai hanlah hmoun e pasoumhno hah thuengnae kasaknaw ni a thueng awh teh a ca awh. Hatei, Cathut ni coe pouh hoeh. Ahnimae yon hah a pâkuem pouh teh, a kung a khei dawkvah, ahnimouh teh Izip ram lah bout a ban awh han.
As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
14 Isarelnaw ni kasakkung a pahnim awh teh, im kahawi kahawi a sak awh. Judah ni hai ka cak e kho hah apung sak awh. Hatei, hote khonaw hah hmai ka sawi vaiteh, im kahawi kahawi naw hmai a kak awh han.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
