< Hosea 8 >

1 Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.
“Pakai mite douna-a, galmite muvanlai banga hung ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kakitepna asukehun ahi. Chule ka danthu dounan asukhel taove.
2 Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”
Ka Pathen keihon nangma kaheuve, tia Israel chu kaheng lama hungpeng ding ahi.
3 But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.
Ahinlah tun ageisangtai, kami Israelten thilpha adeipouve.
4 They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.
Keimaa kon hilouvin, amahon lengho akitun dohuvin, apipui ho akisemun, hichu keiman kahephapoi. Paidoha aum nadiuvin, adangka le a sana houvin, milim akisemun ahi.
5 He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
Vo Samaria nabong nouvin nangma napampai ahitan, Kalung hanna nangma douna-a koudoh ahitai. Monabei ahina dingu chu itihchan hinalai dingham?
6 For this thing is from Israel— a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.
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.
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.
Amahon hui chu muchi tua atu-u ahin, chimpei akiat dingu ahi. Hichun kung aneipon, adon jong chun nehding agadoh sah theilou ahi.
8 Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.
Israel mite vallhumin aumtai, tun amaho chu vannoiya chiding namdang ho lah-a lunglhaina umloubeh tobang hiding ahitauve.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.
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.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.
Ahinlah mi tamtah ho koma kijoh jongleu, nikhatle ka puikhom ding ahi.
11 Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.
Israel in chonset pomang dingin maicham tampi asem jeh'in, maicham ho chu ama dinga chonsetna ding joh ahung hitai.
12 Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.
Dan tamtah kapeh vang'in, hiche ho chu hepha lou bangin angaitoi.
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
Israel miten gan-kilhaina thilto angailuvin, ahinlah hichu keidin pannabei ahi.
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
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.
