Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
Ephraim teh kahlî a pahap. Kanîtholae kahlî hah a pâlei. A hnintangkuem laithoe hoi rawknae hah a kampai sak. Assirianaw hoi a kâhuiko nahlangva vah, Izip ram lah satui a sin awh.
2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.
Cathut ni Judahnaw koehai lungkuephoehnae a tawn. Jakop e tawksaknae hah lawkceng vaiteh, a sak e patetlah moi a pathung han.
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.
Jakop teh a manu von thung vah, a hmau e khokpaimai a kuet. A tha a sai teh, Cathut hoi a kâthe. Kalvantami hoi a kâthe teh a tâ.
4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
Khuika laihoi yo la a kâhei toe. Kalvan ransabawi Cathut hah bethel vah a hmu teh, hawvah lawk a dei pouh.
5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Jehovah teh ransabawi Cathut lah ao. Jehovah tie teh amae min doeh.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.
Hatdawkvah, na Cathut koe bout ban leih. Lungmanae, lannae pouk nateh, na Cathut hah pout laipalah ngaihawi haw.
7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.
Ahni teh hno kayawtkung e lah a o, dumnae yawcu hah a patuep. Ayânaw rektap ngainae lung a tawn.
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
Hatei, Ephraim ni kai teh, ka tawnta hnopainaw ka hmouk toe. Ka tawksak e pueng dawk payonpakainae hmu han kawi awm hoeh telah a ti.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
Kai teh Izip ram thung hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e na Jehovah Cathut lah ka o. Pawi hnin nah na o e patetlah rim dawk bout na o sak han.
10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
Kai ni profetnaw hno lahoi vision moi na poe toe. Bangnuenae hai moi na dei pouh toe.
11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
Gilgal ram teh a payon. Khocaramcanaw teh cungkei awh hoeh. Gilgal khovah, maito hoi thuengnae a sak awh ei, thuengnae khoungroenaw teh, laikawk thawn nah talai kacoum e naw patetlah doeh ao.
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
Jakop teh, Assiria ram lah a yawng. Isarel teh yu la thai nahanelah, san a toung teh tuhu a khoum.
13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.
Cathut ni profet lahoi Isarel hah, Izip ram hoi a hlout sak teh, profet lahoi a khetyawt.
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.
Ephraim ni Cathut a lungkhuek sak. Hatdawkvah, tami theinae yon teh ahni koe a pha han. Min mathoenae hah ama lathueng a bo han
