Hosea 10
1 An emptied vine is Israel; how should he bring forth fruit for himself? the more numerous was his fruit the more he increased the altars; the more prosperous was his land, the more they 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 bear their guilt: this will break down their altars, will devastate 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 will they say, We have no king; because we fear not the Lord: and the 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 have spoken [vain] words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: therefore springeth up the punishment as poison in the furrows of the field.
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 For the calves of Beth-aven are terrified the inhabitants of Samaria: yea, the people thereof mourn over them, and also its false priests that [before] rejoiced over them, 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 Also this shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to the contentious king: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed because 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 shall vanish like the foam upon the surface of the water.
Samaria teh a rawk han. Samaria siangpahrang teh tui dawk kâlaw e tuihon lah ao han.
8 And destroyed shall be the high-places of Aven, [the cause of] the sin of Israel; the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars: and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon 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 More than in the days of Gib'ah hast thou sinned, O Israel! there they stood; and the battle in Gib'ah against the children of wickedness 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 [But now] after my desire will I chastise them: and the people shall be gathered against them, when they harness them [for labor] in their two furrows.
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 as a well-taught heifer that loveth to tread out the corn; and I passed over her fair neck: now will I make Ephraim draw the wagon, Judah shall plough, and Jacob shall harrow the field for the enemy.
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 then for yourselves after righteousness, that you may reap [the fruit] of kindness; cultivate your fallow field; for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness down for 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 [But] ye have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy own 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 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be wasted, as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel on the day of battle, [when] the mother was dashed in pieces upon her 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 The like of this doth Beth-el procure unto you because of your great wickedness: in the early morning shall utterly pass away the king of Israel.
Bethel teh, na yonnae kecu dawk hottelah a sak awh han. Amom vah Isarel siangpahrang teh khoeroe raphoe lah ao han.
