Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has carried oil into Egypt.
Ephraim loh khohli dongah luem tih kanghawn a hloem. Hnin takuem ah laithae tih rhoelrhanah te a ping sak. Assyria neh paipi a saii uh tih Egypt la situi a khuen.
2 Therefore, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.
BOEIPA he Judah neh tuituknah om. Jakob te a longpuei bangla a cawh vetih a khoboe bangla anih te a thuung ni.
3 In the womb, he supplanted his brother; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by an angel.
Bungko khuiah a maya te a uelh sak tih Pathen te a thahuem neh a hnueih.
4 And he prevailed over an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.
Puencawn te khaw a hnueih tih a noeng. Rhap tih anih te a hloep. Amah te Bethel ah a hmuh tih mamih taengah pahoi a thui.
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Yahweh ngawn tah caempuei Pathen la a om dongah amah mingthen khaw Yahweh ni.
6 And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.
Tedae nang tah na Pathen taengla mael laeh. Sitlohnah neh tiktamnah he ngaithuen lamtah na Pathen te lamtawn yoeyah lah.
7 Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.
Hnoyoi loh a kut dongah thailatnah cooi a khueh tih hnaemtaek ham a lungnah.
8 And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to me the iniquity that I have committed.”
Ephraim loh, “Ka boei ngawn, kamah hamla thahuem ka dang, ka thaphu boeih ni, ka khuiah tholhnah la thaesainah hmuh uh mahpawh,” a ti.
9 And I, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during the days of the feast.
Egypt kho lamkah parhi te nangmih kah Pathen Yahweh kamah long ni nang te dap khuiah tingtunnah khohnin kah bangla koep kho kan sak sak eh.
10 And I have spoken through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.
Tonghma rhoek lamloh kan thui tih ka mangthui khaw yet coeng. Tonghma rhoek kut lamlong khaw ka puet sak.
11 If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil of the field.
Gilead kah boethae a om atah Gilgal ah om khaw a poeyoek. Vaito a nawn uh akhaw amih kah hmueihtuk te lai kong ah lungkuk bangla om.
12 Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
Jakob te Aram khohmuen la yong coeng. Israel he huta hamla thotat tih a yuu hamla a dawn.
13 Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.
BOEIPA loh Israel te Egypt lamloh tonghma kut neh a khuen tih tonghma kut neh a ngaithuen.
14 Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.
Ephraim loh kosidung te a veet dongah a thii te amah soah coe ni. A kokhahnah te a boei loh amah taengah a thuung ni.
