< Osee 8 >
1 [He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
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.
2 They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know thee.
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.
3 For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
Isarelnaw ni hnokahawi a hnoun awh dawkvah, taran ni a rektap han.
4 They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
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.
5 Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
Oe Samaria, na maitoca hah tâkhawng leih. Kabawknaw koe ka lungphuen. Ahnimouh ni nâtotouh maw thoungnae panuek laipalah ao awh han vai.
6 Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
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.
7 for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
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.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
Isarel teh payawp lah ao toe. Apinihai a ngaihoeh e hno patetlah Jentelnaw koe ao han.
9 For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
Assiria ram lah amahmawk a cei. Ephraim teh, amadueng kâva e la patetlah a pahrennaw hah aphu a poe toe.
10 Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
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.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
Ephraim ni amae yon a kamnue nahanlah thuengnae khoungroe moi a sak dawkvah, khoungroenaw hah ahnie yon telah ati awh han.
12 I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
Kaie kâlawk a lentoenae hah ahni hanelah ka thut pouh toe. Hatei, banglahai ngâi hoeh.
13 For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
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.
14 And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
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.
