Hosea 13
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
1Ephraim mah lokthuih naah, kaminawk tasoeh o; anih loe Israel ah angmah hoi angmah to amkoeh; toe Baal to a bok pongah anih loe zaehaih tawnh moe, a duek.
2And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: 'They that sacrifice men kiss calves.'
2Nihcae loe vaihi zaehaih sak o aep aep, a tawnh o ih sum kanglung hoi angmacae thoemhaih hoiah krangnawk to a sak o; to hmuennawk boih loe bantok sah kop kami mah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh. Krang to sak o pacoengah, Angbawnhaih sah kami mah krang to mok nasoe, tiah a thuih o.
3Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the window.
3To pongah hae kaminawk loe akhawnbang ah amzam tamai baktih, akhawnbang ah kamzawt dantui baktiah om o ueloe, cang atithaih ahmuen hoiah takhi mah hmuh ih canghii baktih, takoeng ranui hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktiah ni om o tih.
4Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou knowest no God but Me, and beside Me there is no saviour.
4Toe kai loe Izip prae hoiah nang zaehoikung, na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, kai ai ah loe Sithaw na panoek o thai mak ai, kai ai ah loe pahlongkung kalah om ai.
5I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
5Kai mah ni khokha praezaek ah kang khetzawn o.
6When they were fed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me.
6Kamhah ah buh na caak o naah nam oek o; to pongah nihcae mah kai ang pahnet o.
7Therefore am I become unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;
7To pongah nihcae khaeah kaipui baktiah ka oh moe, kaithlaeng baktiah loklam ah ka ngang han.
8I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the enclosure of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
8Taqom mah a caa han lomh pae ih baktih toengah, nihcae to ka hmang moe, panak huh to ka taprawt pae pat han, to ah kaipui baktiah nihcae to ka kaek han. Kasan moi mah nihcae to taprawt pet pet tih.
9It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against Me, against thy help.
9Aw Israel, nang loe nam ro boeh, toe nang abomhaih loe kai khae hoiah ni angzoh.
10Ho, now, thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities! and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: 'Give me a king and princes!'
10Kai loe nang ih siangpahrang ah ka oh han; na oh o haih vangpui boih pahlong thaih kalah kami oh maw? Siangpahrang hoi ukkung angraeng na paek ah, tiah na hnik o ih lokcaek kaminawk loe naa ah maw oh o boih boeh?
11I give thee a king in Mine anger, and take him away in My wrath.
11Palungphui hoiah siangpahrang maeto kang paek o, palung hmai baktih amngaeh naah anih to ka lak ving.
12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
12Ephraim sakpazaehaih loe tapawk moe, a zaehaih to hawk ving boeh.
13The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.
13Nongpata caa oh naah kana panoekhaih to anih nuiah pha tih boeh: anih loe palungha ai capa ah oh; anih loe tapen ai ah nawkta ohhaih ahmuen ah atue kasawk ah oh han om ai.
14Shall I ransom them from the power of the nether-world? Shall I redeem them from death? Ho, thy plagues, O death! Ho, thy destruction, O nether-world! Repentance be hid from Mine eyes!
14Taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah nihcae to ka krang han; nihcae to duekhaih thung hoiah ka loisak han. Aw duekhaih, kai loe nang ih nathaih kasae ah ka oh han! Aw taprong, kai loe nang amrohaih ah ka oh han! Tahmenhaih mik ka tawn mak ai.
15For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels.
15Anih loe nawkamya thungah athaih athai langlacadoeh ka tahmen mak ai, ni angyae bang ih takhi to angzo tih; Angraeng ih takhi to praezaek hoiah song tih. To pacoengah anih ih vacong tui to kang ueloe, tuibap tui doeh kang boih tih. Khit kaom anih ih hmuenmaenawk to paro pae boih tih.
16(14-1) Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
16Angmah ih Sithaw to misa ah sak pongah, Samaria loe pongsut tih: nihcae to sumsen hoiah hum o ueloe, a caanawk to long ah va o tih: zokpomh nongpatanawk to taprawt pae o pat tih.
