Hosea 8
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Mongkah to ueng ah! Kaminawk mah ka lokmaihaih to phraek o moe, ka patuk ih lok to aek o pongah, Anih loe angraeng ih im taek hanah tahmu baktiah angzo tih.
1Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of the LORD; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law.
2Israel mah kai khaeah, ka Sithaw, nang to kang panoek! tiah hang tih.
2Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
3Toe Israel mah kahoih hmuen to pahnawt pongah, misa mah anih to patom tih.
3Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
4Kai naakrakhaih om ai ah, ukkung siangpahrangnawk to a suek; nihcae mah ukkung angraengnawk to qoih o, toe to kaminawk to ka tapom pae ai. Angmacae amro hanah sui, sum kanglung hoiah krang to a sak o.
4They have set up kings, but not from Me, they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5Aw Samaria, maitaw caa krang to na sak pongah palung ka phui; ciimcai hanah nasetto maw akra vop tih?
5Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6To baktih hmuennawk loe Israel mah na ai maw sak! To hmuen loe bantok sah kop kami mah sak rumram ih hmuen ah ni oh, Sithaw na ai ni; Samaria mah sak ih maitaw caa krang loe koi phaeng tih.
6For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
7Nihcae loe takhi to haeh o moe, takhi kamhae to ni a aah o. Akung loe aquih om ai; natuek naah doeh athai mak ai. Athaih athai langlacadoeh prae kalah kaminawk mah caa o boih tih.
7For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
8Israel loe paaeh ving boeh; nihcae loe vaihi koeh koi kaom ai sabae baktiah Gentelnawk salakah oh o boeh.
8Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
9Nihcae loe taw ah angmabueng kaom laa hrang baktiah ni, Assyria ah caeh o; Ephraim loe tlangainawk khaeah angmah hoi angmah to ang zawh.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10Ue, nihcae loe prae kaminawk salakah angmah hoi angmah ang zaw langlacadoeh, vaihi nihcae to ka pakhueng let han; ukkung angraengnawk pacaekthlaek pongah, nihcae loe palungsethaih tong o tih.
10Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.
11Ephraim loe zaehaih hmuen tathlang hanah pop parai hmaicam to sak, toe to hmaicamnawk loe zaesakhaih ahmuen ah ni oh.
11For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
12Anih han kalen parai ka paek ih lok to ka tarik pae boeh, toe nihcae mah hmuen kalah ah poek o.
12Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
13Nihcae mah kai hanah moi paekhaih to sak o moe, moi to a caak o, toe nihcae mah paek ih hmuen to Angraeng mah tapom pae ai. Vaihi anih mah nihcae zaehaih to pakuem ueloe, nihcae mah sak o ih zaehaih baktih toengah danpaek tih. To pacoengah nihcae loe Izip prae ah amlaem o tih.
13As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
14Israel loe angmah Sahkung to pahnet ving boeh, tempulnawk to a sak boeh; Judah mah kapop vangpui pakahaih sipae to sak boeh; toe anih ih vangpui nuiah hmai to ka patoeh han, to naah anih angraenghaih ahmuen to hmai mah kangh boih tih.
14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
