< Hosea 7 >

1 WHEN I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
Isarel dam sak hanlah ka kâcai navah, Ephraim e yonnae hoi Samaria hawihoehnae bout a kamnue. Ahnimouh teh lawkkam cak awh hoeh. Athung lah tamru ouk a kâen teh, alawilah hai dingca ni ouk a tuk awh.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
Ahnimae hawihoehnae pueng Kai ni ka pâkuem tie hah a lung dawk pouk awh hoeh. Atu patenghai hote hno ni a kalup awh toe. Ka hmaitung vah ao awh.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Kahawihoeh e hno hoi siangpahrangnaw a lunghawi sak awh teh, laithoe lawk hoi bawinaw a lunghawi sak awh.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Ahnimouh pueng teh kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae ka sak e lah ao awh. Vaiyei ka thawng e ni hmai sut a patawi teh, tavai a kanawk hnukkhu a po hoehnahlan racum laipalah karoum e hoi a kâvan awh.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Maimae siagpahrang hnin navah, bawinaw ni misur koung a parui awh teh, ka dudam e naw hoi kut reirei a dâw awh.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Arulahoi a pawp awh lahunnah, amamae lungthin teh takhuen hmai patetlah a kâcai awh.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
Takhuen hmai patetlah a kâan awh teh, ahnimae lawkcengkung bawinaw hah a kak awh. Amamae siangpahrang pueng teh, a rawp awh. Kai na ka kaw e buet touh hai awm awh hoeh.
8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Ephraim teh Jentelnaw hoi a kâkalawt awh. Ka kamhmi hoeh e vaiyei lah ao awh.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Amamouh ni panuek laipalah ramlouknaw ni a thaonae teh koung a ca pouh toe. A sam koung a po awh toe. Hatei, amamouh ni panuek awh hoeh.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.
Isarelnaw e kâoupnae teh amamae hmaitung vah a kamnue eiteh, BAWIPA Cathut koe ban awh hoeh. Cathut hai tawng awh hoeh.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Ephraim teh pouknae ka tawn hoeh e bakhu hoi a kâvan. Izip a kaw awh teh, Assiria vah a yawng awh.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
A cei nah tangkuem koe tamlawk hoi ka heng vaiteh, kahlun e tavanaw patetlah ka man han. A kamkhuengnae koevah, ka thai e patetlah ka yue han.
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Ahnimouh teh, kai koehoi a yawng awh toe. Ahnimouh koe rawknae teh a pha. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai na taran awh teh, kâ a tapoe awh. Ahnimanaw hah ka ratang ei, Kai na taran awh teh, laithoe a dei awh.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
Ikhun dawk a cingou awh toteh, Kai na kaw awh hoeh. Cakang, Misur tui tawn laipalah, a kamkhueng awh teh, kai na taran awh.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Kai ni ka yue ei, ka caksak ei, Kai na taran awh teh, kahawihoehe hah a pouk awh.
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Ka dumnae licung patetlah ao awh. Bawinaw teh, a pacekpahlek awh dawkvah, tahloi hoi a due awh han. Izipnaw ni a panuikhai awh han.
