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, you priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, members of the royal family!
2 Kotong thuhtah in nachouvun thang nakampehuvin ahi. Ahinlah nathil bol hi kenjong kahin vetjing ahiye.
Judgment belongs with you because you have been a snare set at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor. You dug a deep trap in Shittim, but I will punish you for all these things you have done.
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 very well, and Israel cannot hide from me, for now Ephraim is a prostitute and 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.
Your actions stop you from coming back to your God for a spirit of prostitution is within you and you do not know 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.
Israel's pride speaks against them, right in the face. Israel and Ephraim will stumble because of their guilt, and Judah will stumble along with them.
6 Akelngoi jouseu le abong jouseuvin pumgo thilto Pakaiya hungbol jongleu, amu loudiu ahitai, ajeh chu amahoa kona kikhin gamla ahitai.
They will go to seek the Lord with their herds and flocks, but they will not find him, for he has given up on 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 been unfaithful to the Lord and have had children that are not his. Now the New Moon will destroy them along with their fields.
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! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Shout an alarm in Beth-aven! Lead the way, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim dinga talen kapeh nikho leh ahomkeuva kijam ding, Israel phung laha thonlou hella kaphondoh ding ahi.
Ephraim will be left desolate on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is the real truth.
10 Juda gam'a milen milalho jong gucha bangdiu, achunguva kalunghanna twilhabom bang ding ahi.
The rulers of Judah have become thieves like those who illegally move boundaries. I will pour out my anger like water upon them.
11 Ephraim hin thu adiha katan jeng jong asunoh phahtai. Ajeh chu amahi pannabeiya kipedoh-a vahthaile ahitai.
The people of Ephraim are crushed, smashed to pieces in judgment because they were determined to follow human commands.
12 Hijeh a chu keijong Ephraim dinga nget tobanga kahi ding, Juda insung dinga jong agotlhahsah-a pang ding kahi.
I am like a maggot to Ephraim, and like something rotten to the people 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.
When Ephraim saw how sick they were, and Judah saw how wounded they were, Ephraim turned to the great king of Assyria for help, but he could not heal them or cure their wounds.
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 lion to Ephraim, like a fierce lion to the people of Judah. I will come and tear them to pieces, and carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them.
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.
Then I will leave and return to where I came from until they acknowledge their wrongs, and in their distress they will seek my face and beg for my help.”
