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 would heal Israel, then Ephrain’s guilt is revealed, and Samaria’s crimes are seen, how they practise fraud and the thief enters in, while outside bandits plunder.
2 Ken kamu sohlam koiman ahedeh pouve. Achonset nauvin alonvuh dimu, kamusoh keiye.
But it never crosses their minds that I remember their wickedness. Now their misdeeds surround them, they are always before my face.
3 Gitlouna thil abolluvin, lengpa geiyin akipasahuvin, Lengpa chate jengin jong ajou thilbolu chu akipapiuve.
Their wickedness amuses the king, and their lying gladdens the princes,
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.
since they are all of them adulterers. Their desire to do evil burns like an oven heated by the baker, so hot that he need not stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it rises.
5 Cholngah nin leng chapten ju adonun, tot chavai hotoh totnan mi anuisat khom.
On our king’s festival day, the princes are flushed with fever from wine. He stretched forth his hand with the contemptuous,
6 Alungsungu jong lhummei salai abangin, jan khovahin lungdam mon aum’un. Jingkah leh mei salah lah bongin adiu jeju jiuve.
for like an oven their heart burns with treachery, all night their anger smolders, in the morning it blazes into a flame of fire.
7 Lhumphung salai abangun, alamkai hou jong avallhum sohun, Alenghou jong aban banin athat-un, ahinlah koimachan kakoma panpina athum pouve.
All of them glow like an oven, they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen. There is none among them who calls to me.
8 Israelte namtin vaipi pathen helou hotoh akihal sohtan, Changlhah kikang min sohlou tobangbep ahitauve.
Ephraim – he lets himself be mixed among the peoples, Ephraim – he has become a cake unturned.
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, but he does not know it. His hair is sprinkled with grey, but he does not notice.
10 Israel kiletsahna chu amaho hehin apangin ahinla amaho Pakai henga ahung kiledeh pouvin, holding jong agong pouve.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them yet they do not return to the Lord their God, and in all this they do not seek him.
11 Israel mite hi vakhu banga lungthim bei le nuijat umtah ahiuve. Egypt mitepou akouvin, Assyria gamsung lam pouva akitoluve.
Ephraim is like a simple, silly dove: to Egypt they call, after Assyria they go,
12 Chule achunguva len kikhu khum ding, chunga leng vacha banga kamat ding ahiuve, athilse bol chengseu jeh'a kabolgim dingu ahi.
wherever they turn I will spread my net over them, like birds of the sky I will bring them down, I will catch them when I hear them gathering.
13 Ohe ada ahiuve, ajeh chu kakoma konin akihei manguvin, eidouvin apanguve.
Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have been untrue to me. Although it was I who redeemed them, they speak lies about 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 have never cried to me with their hearts, but they are always wailing on their beds. They gather to beg for corn and new wine, but they turn away from me.
15 Keiman kahiluva kahatsah nom vanguvin, kei dounan thilse agong gonguve.
Although it was I who trained and strengthened their arms, concerning me they plan only evil.
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 turn away from the Most High. They have become like a bow that swerves. Their princes will fall by the sword, because of the insolence of their tongues. The land of Egypt will mock them.
