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, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

2 Kotong thuhtah in nachouvun thang nakampehuvin ahi. Ahinlah nathil bol hi kenjong kahin vetjing ahiye.

And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser 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 is not hid from me; for now, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; Israel is defiled.

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.

Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.

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 Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

6 Akelngoi jouseu le abong jouseuvin pumgo thilto Pakaiya hungbol jongleu, amu loudiu ahitai, ajeh chu amahoa kona kikhin gamla ahitai.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.

8 Gibeah khoa kelki mutuvinlang! Ramah khoa sumkon mutuvin, Beth-aven khoa galkonding in kiginna lhang samuvin. Vo Benjamin kiti hot hotin!

Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin!

9 Ephraim dinga talen kapeh nikho leh ahomkeuva kijam ding, Israel phung laha thonlou hella kaphondoh ding ahi.

Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.

10 Juda gam'a milen milalho jong gucha bangdiu, achunguva kalunghanna twilhabom bang ding ahi.

The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 Ephraim hin thu adiha katan jeng jong asunoh phahtai. Ajeh chu amahi pannabeiya kipedoh-a vahthaile ahitai.

Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].

12 Hijeh a chu keijong Ephraim dinga nget tobanga kahi ding, Juda insung dinga jong agotlhahsah-a pang ding kahi.

And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

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.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.

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 unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

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 away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
