Hosea 8 (TCZCHONG)

1“Pakai mite douna-a, gal mite muvanlai banga hung ding ahi. Ajeh chu ama hon kakitepna asukehun ahi. Chule ka danthu dounan asukhel tauve.Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.

2Ka Pathen keihon nangma kaheuve, tia Israel chu kaheng lama hungpeng ding ahi.Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”

3Ahinlah tun ageisangtai, kami Israel ten thilpha adeipouve.But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.

4Keimaa kon hilouvin, ama hon lengho akitun dohuvin, apipuiho akisemun, hichu keiman kahephapoi. Paiduha aum nadiuvin, adangka le a sana houvin , milim akisemun ahi.They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.

5Vo Samaria nabong nouvin nangma napampai ahitan, Ka lunghanna nangma douna-a koudoh ahitai. Monabei ahina dingu chu itihchan hinalai dingham?He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?

6Ajeh chu Israel a konna jong chuti ahi, khutthem miho thilsem ahin, Hijeh chun Pathen ahipoi, chuleh Samaria bongnou chu ahal halla kisuchip ding ahi.For this thing is from Israel—a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.

7ama hon hui chu muchi tua atu-u ahin, chimpei akiat dingu ahi. Hichun kung aneipon, adon jong chun neh ding agadoh sah theilou ahi.For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.

8Israel mite vallhumin aumtai, tun amaho chu vannoiya chidang namdang ho lah-a lunglhaina umloubeh tobang hi ding ahi tauve.Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.

9Ejeh inem itile amaho gamlah a sangan chang lhat bangin Assyria mite heng lama achetouvun ahi. Ephraim in kideipi din aki thalahe. Israel mite hi ama le ama kijoh ahiuvin, angailut miho kom'a kijoh ahiuve.For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.

10Ahinlah mi tamtah ho kom'a kijoh jonglehu, nikhat le ka puikhom ding ahi.Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.

11Israel in chonset pomang dingin maicham tampi asem jeh in, maicham ho chu ama dinga chonsetna ding joh ahung hitai.Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.

12Dan tamtah kapeh vang'in, hiche ho chu hepha lou bangin angaitoi.Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.

13Israel miten gan-kilhaina thilto angailuvin, ahinlah hichu keidin panna bei ahi.Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.

14Israel in asempa asumilin, in thupi tah-tah asan, chule Judan kulpi nei khopi apunsah in ahi. Hijeh a chu keiman khopi ho chunga mei kasol ding, hichun, aleng inpihou akah chai ding ahi.Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
