< Hosea 10 >

1 A luxuriant vine is Israel. He bore fruit lavishly. In proportion to the increase of his fruit he increased altars to idols. In proportion to the beauty of his land he made beautiful the sacred pillars.
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 false, now they must be punished. God himself will break the necks of their altars, he will destroy their sacred pillars.
A lungsamphei teh yon phu khang sak lah ao awh. Ahnimae thuengnae khoungroenaw hoi meikaphawknaw hah Bawipa ni a raphoe pouh awh han.
3 Yes, soon they will be saying, ‘We have no king, for we have not revered the Lord, and a king, what could he do for us anyway?’
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 Speaking words, perjuring themselves, making agreements, and litigation springs up like a poisonous weed in a ploughed 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 The inhabitants of Samaria will tremble with fear for their calf of Beth-aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its priests, who had rejoiced for its glory, now 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 It will be carried off to Assyria as a present to the patron king. Disgrace will Ephraim bear and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
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 will disappear, like foam on 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 will be destroyed, the shrines of Israel’s sin, thorns and thistles will grow on their altars, and they will 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 From the time of Gibeah, Israel has sinned. There they took their stand. Will not war overtake them in Gibeah because of the wicked?
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 When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes.
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 Ephraim indeed was a trained heifer that loved to thresh grain, and I myself laid a yoke upon his fair neck, I made Ephraim draw and Judah must plough, Jacob must turn the soil for himself.
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 for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruits of love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, so righteousness may come to 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 you have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have you reaped. You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own path, in the multitude of your warriors,
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 the alarm of war will sound in your cities and all your fortresses will be ruined, as Shalman laid in ruins Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces over their 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 Thus will I do to you, Bethel, because of the enormity of your wickedness. When dawn breaks, so will the king of Israel be broken.
Bethel teh, na yonnae kecu dawk hottelah a sak awh han. Amom vah Isarel siangpahrang teh khoeroe raphoe lah ao han.
