Hosea 5
1 Hiche hi ngaiyin, nang thempuho. Lunglutin ngaiyin, nang Israelte lamkai. Nangho leng insung mite jousen jong ngaichehuvin. Ajeh chu nachunguva thutanna hi kingam sohkei ahitai. Nanghon Mizpah le Tabor khoa dingin kipalna thang nakamuve.
Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
2 Kotong thuhtah in nachouvun thang nakampehuvin ahi. Ahinlah nathil bol hi kenjong kahin vetjing ahiye.
And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
3 O Ephraim, keiman nang koitobang nahi kahenai. Nang keiya konin kisel theipon nate, O Israel, notinun ajipa adalhah bangin, kei neidalha tai, nangma thanghoitah-a kisubohdeh nahi ahitai.
I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
4 Nachon nauvin Pathen henga nakilesah thei tapouve. Ajeh chu nalahuva noti dinga lunggel jeng nagel jeh'un, Na Pathen-u umna lam nagel phatapouvin ahi.
They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Israel chu akiletsahnan achunga aheh jingin, Ephraim chu aphatlouna-a kipal lhu ding ahin, Juda jong Israel le Ephraim toh kipal’a lhukhom tha ding ahi.
And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
6 Akelngoi jouseu le abong jouseuvin pumgo thilto Pakaiya hungbol jongleu, amu loudiu ahitai, ajeh chu amahoa kona kikhin gamla ahitai.
With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
7 Amahon Pakai chu kitahna beiyin anabol tauvin, hibangtah in jatdng mitoh cha anahing tauvin ahi. Tua hi mi sumongpa chun ama ho jong aloumunu jong asuhmongtha ding ahi.
They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
8 Gibeah khoa kelki mutuvinlang! Ramah khoa sumkon mutuvin, Beth-aven khoa galkonding in kiginna lhang samuvin. Vo Benjamin kiti hot hotin!
Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim dinga talen kapeh nikho leh ahomkeuva kijam ding, Israel phung laha thonlou hella kaphondoh ding ahi.
Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
10 Juda gam'a milen milalho jong gucha bangdiu, achunguva kalunghanna twilhabom bang ding ahi.
The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
11 Ephraim hin thu adiha katan jeng jong asunoh phahtai. Ajeh chu amahi pannabeiya kipedoh-a vahthaile ahitai.
Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
12 Hijeh a chu keijong Ephraim dinga nget tobanga kahi ding, Juda insung dinga jong agotlhahsah-a pang ding kahi.
And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 Ephraim chu adammona akimu doh phat in, Judah chun amaha akimudoh phatin, Ephraim chu Assyria gam'a achen lenglenpa henga mi asole. Ahinlah aman hom naboldam theilou ding, amaha jong asuhdam thei lou ding ahi.
And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
14 Keima Ephraim dinga keipi kabah ding, Judah dinga keipi golpai hattah kabah ding ahi. Kei mong mong in kabotel jengjung ding ahi. Keiman kalhoh manga koiman eichulhah jou lou ding ahi.
For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
15 Chuteng kagam langa kakile kit ding, Amahon athemmonau akihet dohuva, keima angsung ahinhol kit kahseu, kachenna muna kache ding, agenthei behseh tengule eihin holdiu ahi.
I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
