Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
Ephraim tah rhihnah neh cal tih anih te Israel khuiah a pomsang. Tedae Baal rhangneh a boe dongah ni a duek.
2 And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artisans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'
Tedae tholh te a koei uh coeng dongah amamih ham amamih kah cak te a lungcuei tarhing ah mueihloe la a saii uh. Te boeih te kutthai rhoek kah kutci muei mai. Te te amih loh, “Aka nawn hlang loh vaitoca te mok uh,” a ti uh.
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
Te dongah mincang cingmai bangla, thoh hang neh aka hma buemtui bangla, cangtilhmuen lamkah aka thikthuek cangkik bangla, bangbuet lamkah hmaikhu bangla om uh ni.
4 And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.
Tedae Egypt khohmuen lamkah pataeng na Pathen tah Yahweh kamah ni. Kai phoeiah pathen a tloe na ming noek moenih kai mueh ah khangkung khaw a om moenih.
5 I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
Rhamling khohmuen kah khosoek ah pataeng kai loh nang kan ming coeng.
6 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
Amih kah rhamtlim neh hah la hah uh tih a lungbuei a pomsang. Te dongah ni kai n'hnilh uh.
7 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
Te dongah amih soah sathuengca bangla ka om vetih kaihlaeng bangla longpuei ah ka mae ni.
8 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
Amih te dueidah laemhong vom bangla ka doe vetih a lungbuei kah a pahuep ka phen pah ni. Te vaengah sathuengnu loh kohong mulhing a baeh bangla amih te pahoi ka dolh ni.
9 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
Nang kah bomkung kamah taeng lamloh Israel nang te m'phae ni.
10 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'
Na khopuei boeih ah nang aka khang ham na manghai neh nang kah lai aka tloek bal te ta? Te la, “Kai hamla manghai neh mangpa la m'pae,” na ti dae.
11 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
Manghai te nang taengah ka thintoek neh kam paek tih ka thinpom neh kan lat.
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
Ephraim kathaesainah loh puen a cak tih a tholhnah te a khoem pah coeng.
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
Ca cun bungtloh loh anih taengah pai coeng. Anih tah camoe khaw a cueih moenih. Ca om tue vaengah khaw a om moenih.
14 From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Amih te saelkhui kut lamloh ka lat ni. Amih te dueknah lamloh ka tlan ni. Dueknah nang kah duektahaw te melae? Saelkhui nang kah lucik te melae? Suemnah khaw ka mik lamloh thuh uh ni. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.
Anih te pacaboeina lakli ah a thaih rhah mai cakhaw BOEIPA kah kanghawn yilh ha pai ni. Khosoek lamloh a khuen vetih a thunsih khaw kak ni. A tuisih khaw a khah pah ni. Anih te thakvoh khuikah sahnaih hnopai boeih a rhth pah ni.
16 Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
A Pathen te a koek dongah Samaria boe coeng. Cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih a camoe rhoek te a til uh ni. A bungvawn khaw a boe pah ni.
