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.
"Put the trumpet to your lips. Something like an eagle is over the LORD's house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled 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.
They cry to me, 'My God, we Israel acknowledge you.'
3 Isarelnaw ni hnokahawi a hnoun awh dawkvah, taran ni a rektap han.
Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will 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 by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves 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.
Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are 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 this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
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 will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will 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 they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
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 Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
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.
But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
11 Ephraim ni amae yon a kamnue nahanlah thuengnae khoungroe moi a sak dawkvah, khoungroenaw hah ahnie yon telah ati awh han.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
12 Kaie kâlawk a lentoenae hah ahni hanelah ka thut pouh toe. Hatei, banglahai ngâi hoeh.
I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.
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 of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But the LORD doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean things in Assyria.
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 has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
