Hosea 7
1 Keiman Israel kasuhdam nome, ahinlah achonset nao asang behsehe. Samaria hi jou le nal jeng seinaa dimset jeng ahiuve, Gucha insunga alut tan, michom ho polama ading jingui!
When I was about to deliver my people from captivity, When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, And the wickedness of Samaria; For they practise fraud, And the thief entereth in, And the band of robbers spoileth without.
2 Ken kamu sohlam koiman ahedeh pouve. Achonset nauvin alonvuh dimu, kamusoh keiye.
And they think not in their hearts, That I remember all their wickedness. Now shall their doings encompass them; They are before my face.
3 Gitlouna thil abolluvin, lengpa geiyin akipasahuvin, Lengpa chate jengin jong ajou thilbolu chu akipapiuve.
With their wickedness they gladden the king, And with their falsehoods the princes; All of them are adulterers;
4 Abonchauva hi mitoh kisubohsa jeng ahiuvin, Meilhum sunga kihulsa tobang jeng ahiuvin, Amahohi tapkonga meilhum asat kingah tobang chol kiso changbong akichankah kingah tobang ahiuve.
They are as an oven heated by the baker; He ceaseth to stir the fire, Until the dough which he hath kneaded be leavened.
5 Cholngah nin leng chapten ju adonun, tot chavai hotoh totnan mi anuisat khom.
On the feast-day of our king, the princes are sick with the heat of wine, And he stretcheth out his hand with revilers.
6 Alungsungu jong lhummei salai abangin, jan khovahin lungdam mon aum’un. Jingkah leh mei salah lah bongin adiu jeju jiuve.
For they make ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; All night the baker sleepeth; In the morning it gloweth like a flaming fire.
7 Lhumphung salai abangun, alamkai hou jong avallhum sohun, Alenghou jong aban banin athat-un, ahinlah koimachan kakoma panpina athum pouve.
They all glow as an oven; They have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen; And none among them calleth upon me.
8 Israelte namtin vaipi pathen helou hotoh akihal sohtan, Changlhah kikang min sohlou tobangbep ahitauve.
Ephraim hath mixed himself with the nations; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Gamchom mite pathen ahou-uvin, atha alhalhop sahin, nahinlah amahon akihet pouve. Aluchunga asamjengjong kangsoh ding ahitan, ahinlah akihet polaiye.
Strangers have devoured his strength, And he knoweth it not; Yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, Yet he knoweth it not.
10 Israel kiletsahna chu amaho hehin apangin ahinla amaho Pakai henga ahung kiledeh pouvin, holding jong agong pouve.
The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Yet do not they return to Jehovah their God, Nor seek him, for all this.
11 Israel mite hi vakhu banga lungthim bei le nuijat umtah ahiuve. Egypt mitepou akouvin, Assyria gamsung lam pouva akitoluve.
Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding; They call upon Egypt; they go to Assyria.
12 Chule achunguva len kikhu khum ding, chunga leng vacha banga kamat ding ahiuve, athilse bol chengseu jeh'a kabolgim dingu ahi.
When they go, I will spread my net over them; As birds of heaven will I bring them down. I will chastise them, as hath been proclaimed in their congregation.
13 Ohe ada ahiuve, ajeh chu kakoma konin akihei manguvin, eidouvin apanguve.
Woe to them, for they have wandered from me! Destruction upon them, for they have rebelled against me! Though I myself would redeem them, they speak falsely to me.
14 Lung thengsellin kakoma akappouve, hiche sang chun, ajalkhun chung dunguva atouvun, angahun ahi. Amahole amaho akisun chan chanun semthu milim pathen koma henga ju akithum un, kakoma imacha athum nompuve.
They cry not to me from their heart, But howl upon their beds; For corn and wine they assemble themselves; They rebel against me.
15 Keiman kahiluva kahatsah nom vanguvin, kei dounan thilse agong gonguve.
I have chastened them; I have also strengthened their arms; Yet do they devise evil against me.
16 Amahon Chungnungpen velouvin, muntin avele leuvin ahi. Amaho panabei thalpi chang lengkoi lebep ahiuve, agalmi tehon alamkaihou athading. Chuteng Egypt miten anuisat diu ahi.
They return, but not to the Most High; They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes shall fall by the sword for the haughtiness of their tongues; This shall be their reproach in the land of Egypt.
