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 the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2 Ken kamu sohlam koiman ahedeh pouve. Achonset nauvin alonvuh dimu, kamusoh keiye.
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3 Gitlouna thil abolluvin, lengpa geiyin akipasahuvin, Lengpa chate jengin jong ajou thilbolu chu akipapiuve.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
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 all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Cholngah nin leng chapten ju adonun, tot chavai hotoh totnan mi anuisat khom.
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
6 Alungsungu jong lhummei salai abangin, jan khovahin lungdam mon aum’un. Jingkah leh mei salah lah bongin adiu jeju jiuve.
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smoulders all night. In the morning it burns as 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 are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one amongst them who calls to me.
8 Israelte namtin vaipi pathen helou hotoh akihal sohtan, Changlhah kikang min sohlou tobangbep ahitauve.
Ephraim mixes himself amongst the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
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 doesn’t realise it. Indeed, grey hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realise it.
10 Israel kiletsahna chu amaho hehin apangin ahinla amaho Pakai henga ahung kiledeh pouvin, holding jong agong pouve.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God, nor sought 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 an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to 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 on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
13 Ohe ada ahiuve, ajeh chu kakoma konin akihei manguvin, eidouvin apanguve.
Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against 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 haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
15 Keiman kahiluva kahatsah nom vanguvin, kei dounan thilse agong gonguve.
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot 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 faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
