< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is an unpruned vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly statues.
Isarel teh a paw moi kapaw e misurkung lah ao. Amahmawk ouk a paw. A paw apap e patetlah Isarelnaw ni thuengnae khoungroe apap sak awh. Aram ahawi e patetlah meikaphawknaw a catraning awh.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will break down their altars, he will destroy their statues.
A lungsamphei teh yon phu khang sak lah ao awh. Ahnimae thuengnae khoungroenaw hoi meikaphawknaw hah Bawipa ni a raphoe pouh awh han.
3 For now they will say, We have no king, for we feared not Jehovah; and a king, what can he do for us?
Maimouh teh, Cathut taki awh hoeh dawkvah, siangpahrang tawn awh hoeh. Siangpahrang ao nakunghai maimouh hanlah e lah bangmouh a sak thai han vâ na ti awh.
4 They speak [mere] words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; therefore shall judgment spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the fields.
Lawkkamnae a sak awh navah, lawkhrawng hoi thoe a kâbo awh teh, laithoe lawk duengdoeh a dei awh. Lawk a ceng awh navah, laikawk koe e asue kung patetlah a pâw awh.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the idolatrous priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
Samaria khocanaw teh, Bethaven maitoca kecu dawk a puen awh. Hote maitoca bawilen nahanelah, a taminaw ni a khuika awh teh, vaihma bawinaw ni a pâyaw awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote lentoenae hah a tarannaw ni a lawp awh teh,
6 Yea, it shall be carried unto Assyria [as] a present for king Jareb: Ephraim shall be seized with shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Maitoca hoi cungtalah Assiria ram lah cetkhai awh vaiteh, siangpahrang Jareb a poe awh han. Ephraim teh, a minhmai mathout vaiteh, Isarel teh a pouknae lahoi yeirai a po han.
7 As for Samaria her king is cut off as chips upon the face of the waters.
Samaria teh a rawk han. Samaria siangpahrang teh tui dawk kâlaw e tuihon lah ao han.
8 And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us!
Isarelnaw ni meikaphawk ouk a bawk awh e Aven hmuen puenghai raphoe lah ao han. Thuengnae khoungroe dawk pâkhing hoi phonaw muen a paw han. Oe monnaw, kaimouh na ramuk haw. Oe monruinaw, kaimouh van bawt awh haw telah ati awh han.
9 From the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
Oe Isarel, Gibeah senah na yon e hlak hoe na yon toe. Hawvah a kangdue awh. Gibeah vah tarankâtuk navah, hawihoehnae ka sak naw hah na sung awh hoeh.
10 At my pleasure will I chastise them; and the peoples shall be assembled against them, when they are bound for their two iniquities.
Kai ni ka mahmawk ahnimanaw hah ka yue han. Kâ a tapoe awh e kahni touh kecu dawk ka katek awh toteh, ahnimouh taran hanlah taminaw teh a kamkhueng awh han.
11 And Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plough, Jacob shall break his clods.
Ephraim teh a mawng teh, cangkatin ngai e maitola lah ao eiteh, a lahuen dawk yawcu ka toung pouh vaiteh, Ephraim van tami kâcui sak han. Judah ni talai a thawn han, Jakop ni laitueng a pâpâwn han.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Ma hanelah, lannae cati kahei awh nateh, lungmanae a paw hah a awh haw. Tawk hoeh rae laikawk hah thawn awh. Cathut ni nangmouh lathueng vah lannae kho a rak sak hoehroukrak, Bawipa tawngnae tueng a pha toe.
13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Nangmouh teh, yonnae cati hah na kahei awh teh, yonnae a paw hah na a awh. Laithoe paw hah na ca awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ma ni pouk e hoi mae athakaawme taminaw hah ouk kâuep awh.
14 And a tumult shall arise among thy peoples, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with the children.
Hatdawkvah, na taminaw teh ruengrueng ati awh han. Shalman ni Betharbel kho a tuk navah a raphoe e patetlah nange rapan pueng teh, a rawk han. Manu teh a canaw hoi talai dawk rekreksuk lah ao han.
15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of the wickedness of your wickedness: at day-break shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Bethel teh, na yonnae kecu dawk hottelah a sak awh han. Amom vah Isarel siangpahrang teh khoeroe raphoe lah ao han.
