Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
Israel mite huiyin akivahin, chule solam hui lhi chu nilhum lhumin anung ajuiyuve. Amahon jou le gitlouna akan khomun, Assyria mite toh akikhut jop’un Egypt gamsunga thao apolut’un ahi.
2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
Tun Pakaiyin Judah mite dounan ahin nokhumin ahi. Jacob chu achonna dungjuija talen apeh ding, anatoh dungjuiya alethuh ding ahi. Ana tohdohsa jouse anung lesohkei ding ahiye.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
Anu oisung a kipanin asopipa asuh gentheiyin, Mihem khat banga ahung pen phatin, Pathen jeng jong akibotpin ahi.
4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
Henge, aman vantil akibotpin, aman ajouvin ahi. Chule kap pumin akoma phattheina akithumin ahi. Hiche-a Bethel a chun Pathen kimaiton akimupin ahi. Chule Pathen in akihoulim pin ahi.
5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
Pakai Pathen van gam sepaite Pakai kitihi ama min chu ahi. Hijeh chun tun, na Pathen henga hung kile kittan. Ngailutna le thutah toh gomin sodohin chule aphat jousen ama jengah kingai jingin,
7 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
Ahinlah chutiponte, mihem hohi sumkolvei tobang ahibouve. Akhuttaha thil tejia kiveipan mi abol genthei dingbou adeiye.
8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
Israel akiletsahin, keima kahou nai, Keima dingin vang kakisane! Koiman ka jou bol eimandoh ponte, Ka chung thuhi nolna umlou ahi” ati.
9 And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
Ahin keima hi Pakai na Pathen chu kahi, Egypt a soha natana kona nahuhohpa chu kahi. Chule keiman ponbuh sunga kahindohsah kitthei nahi. Kum kiheisih leh golnopma nabol tobanga chu,
10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
Nangho gihna dinga kathemgao ho kahinsolin, gao thilmu tamtah le thulem tamtah tothon kahin sol’e.
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
Ahinlah Gilead miho chu pannabei ahiuve. Ajeh chu milim houvin apang uvin ahi. Amahon Gilgala bongchalin ganlhaina abollun, amaicham semhou chu loulaiya songtum kigoltoh abange.
12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
Jacob chu Ram gamsunga ajamlut in Ram gam'a chun Jacob in ajiding kelngoi vah'in akiloi.
13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
Themgao khat amanchan, Pakaiyin Egypt a konin Jacob le achilhah ho ahin puidoh tan ahi. Themgao khat jeh'a Israel mite hi imacha boilouva hungdoh thei ahiuve.
14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
Pathen in Israel mite khacheh in aphoh in ahi, ajeh chu amaho achonset puma athi dingu jong chu ahet ahitai.
