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.
“To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
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.
To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
3 Isarelnaw ni hnokahawi a hnoun awh dawkvah, taran ni a rektap han.
Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues 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 made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are 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.
Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
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 even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
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 wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
8 Isarel teh payawp lah ao toe. Apinihai a ngaihoeh e hno patetlah Jentelnaw koe ao han.
Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
9 Assiria ram lah amahmawk a cei. Ephraim teh, amadueng kâva e la patetlah a pahrennaw hah aphu a poe toe.
For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have 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.
Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
11 Ephraim ni amae yon a kamnue nahanlah thuengnae khoungroe moi a sak dawkvah, khoungroenaw hah ahnie yon telah ati awh han.
Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
12 Kaie kâlawk a lentoenae hah ahni hanelah ka thut pouh toe. Hatei, banglahai ngâi hoeh.
I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
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.
The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They 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.
And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
