Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim used to speak there was trembling; a prince was he in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal and died.
Ephraim ni a dei toteh, ayânaw ni a taki awh. Ahni teh Isarelnaw thung dawk ka talue e lah ao. Hatei, Baal bawknae koe a rawp toteh a due.
2 And now they go on sinning. They make for themselves molten gods – idols of silver, skilfully made, wholly the work of smiths. Yet to such they sacrifice! And they who sacrifice kiss calf idols!
Atuvah hoehoe a yon awh teh, mae thoumnae lahoi hlun e ngun kutsak, hahoi amamouh thoum e patetlah meikaphawknaw hah amamouh hanelah a sak awh. Hottelah a sak awh hnukkhu thuengnae ka sak e tami teh maitoca hah pahnuem seh a kâti awh.
3 Therefore they shall be like the morning mist, like the dew that early disappears, like the chaff which blows away from the threshing floor, like the smoke from the window.
Hatdawkvah ahnimouh teh, amom e tâmai patetlah tang kamyawt e tadamtui patetlah cangkatinnae koe e bongparui ni a palek e cahik patetlah takhuen koehoi ka tâcawt e hmaikhu patetlah ao awh.
4 Yet it was I, the Lord your God, ever since the land of Egypt, you know no other god but me, nor has there been any saviour except me.
Hatei, kai teh, Izip ram hoi nangmouh kahlout sak e nangmae Jehovah Cathut lah ka o. Kai hloilah alouke Cathut hah nang ni na panuek hoeh. Kai hloilah rungngangkung Bawi awm hoeh.
5 It was I who shepherded you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat.
Thingyei yawn hoi kâan poung e ramke ram dawk patenghai nang hah na pahnim hoeh. Kaboumlah na paca toe.
6 When they were pastured they became full, when they were full their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot me!
Na boum awh toteh, na kâoup awh. Kai hah na pahnim awh.
7 So now I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard will I lay in wait by the path.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koe Kai teh, sendek patetlah ka o pouh han. Lam teng ka pawm e kaisi patetlah ahnimanaw hah ka pawp han.
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their chests, like a lion will devour them, and like a wild beast will tear them in pieces.
A ca kahmat e tavom patetlah ahnimanaw hah ka taba vaiteh, a thabuem totouh ka phi pouh han. Sendek manu patetlah ka hmunae koe raw vah, ka kei han. Sarang lah ka o dawkvah, vekrasen lah ka phi han.
9 You are destroyed, Israel, by me, your only helper.
Oe Isarel, nang kabawmkung Kai hah na taran dawkvah, na rawk awh toe.
10 I want to rule you! Where are your princes in your cities, those of whom you demanded, ‘Give me kings and princes.’
Na siangpahrang teh nâne ao. Na onae khopueng dawk na rungngang haw seh. Nange lawkcengkungnaw teh nâne ao awh.
11 I give you kings in my anger, and take them away in my wrath.
Siangpahrang hoi bawinaw na poe loe titeh na hei awh dawkvah, ka lungkhuek teh, siangpahrang hah na poe awh toe. Hahoi, puenghoi ka lungkhuek dawkvah, siangpahrang hah bout ka takhoe toe.
12 Ephrahn’s iniquity is gathered up, his sin is laid by in store.
Ephraim ni a sak e yonnae hah ka tangoung teh, a yonnae hah ka pâtung pouh toe.
13 The pangs of childbirth come upon him, but he is an unwise child. For this is no time to refuse to leave the womb!
Ahni teh, camo ka khe e napui patetlah runae a kâhmo nahane atueng a hnai toe. Ahni teh, ka pathu e capa lah ao. Khe tue a pha navah, khe thai laipalah vonthung ka saw lah ao.
14 Should I deliver them from the power of Sheol? Should I redeem them from death? Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your pestilence? Compassion is forever hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Ahnimouh hah, phuen thaonae dawk hoi ka ratang vaiteh, duenae dawk hoi ka hlout sak han. Oe, duenae nange pali patawnae lah na o teh, Oe, phuen nange rawknae lah ka o sak han. Pan ka ngai nahanlah banglahai na ngai hoeh. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he is flourishing among his brothers, there will come an east wind, the Lord’s wind, coming up from the wilderness. His fountain will dry up, his spring shall be parched. The wind will strip the treasury, all the precious things.
Ma e hmaunawngha koe teh, a paw na paw awh eiteh, Kanîtholae kahlî teh thingyei yawn koehoi tho vaiteh, sawkcanaw a hak han. Tuikhunaw remphui han. Hno pâkhuengnae im dawk e hnopai aphu kaawm naw teh, taran ni na lawp awh han.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, their children dashed to pieces, their pregnant women ripped open.
Samaria kho teh, a Cathut a taran dawkvah, a rawk han. Khocanaw teh, tahloi hoi a rawp awh vaiteh, a due awh han. Camonaw teh talai dawk rekreksuk vaiteh, camo kavawnnaw e von hah a khei pouh awh han.
