Hosea 9
1 O Israel mipite, Namdangte ho bangin kipah hihun. Ajeh chu na Pathen a dinga tahsan umtalou, notia pang dinga nangmatah kijoh nahitai. Changphol chung jousea gamchom mite pathen- nahoutai,
'Rejoice not, O Israel, be not joyful like the peoples, For thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a gift near all floors of corn.
2 Abonchauva changphola chang in avah va lou ding. Lengpithei konga lengpi thei in jong ato loudiu ahi. Lengpi twithah kichilin jong abonchauva ato louding, chang lou ding ahiuve.
Floor and wine-press do not delight them, And new wine doth fail in her,
3 Hijeha chu Pakai gamsunga chengden lou diu, Ephraim vang chu Egypt gam'a kile kit ding ahi. Chujongle Assyria gam'a jong chu amahon an thenglou aganeh diu,
They do not abide in the land of Jehovah, And turned back hath Ephraim [to] Egypt, And in Asshur an unclean thing they eat.
4 Pakai houna dinga juning jong alhit lou dingu, kilhaina gantha ijat bol jongleu alungu lhai lou dingu ahitai. Aneh dingu changlhah jong chu kap le lunghema aneh diu ahi. Hitobang an ho chu abohkhat in atohkhah a boh bonga bohsoh ahitan, nehthei hijeng jongleh Pakai houin'a ato thei lou diu ahiye.
They pour not out wine to Jehovah, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It doth not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Phat neiya kibol kut chu, iti naboldiu ham, Pakai dia golvah nikholeh ipi boltauvin natem?
What do ye at the day appointed? And at the day of Jehovah's festival?
6 Ajeh chu amaho kisuhgamna jeh'a chemang ahitauve, Egypt in akhop khom dingu, Memphis in avui dingu ahi. Adangka kholnao mun nom ho chu ling dimding chule ahoubuh sunguva jong ling ho keh ding ahi.
For, lo, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathereth them, Moph burieth them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them — a thorn [is] in their tents.
7 Gotna kipehna ding nikho ho ahung lhungtan, kilethuhna nikho ho ahunglhungtai. Israel in hichu ahet ding ahi, nakhan gitlounao adimset jehle hotna lentah umho jeh chun “Themgao chu mingol ahin, chule lhagao mi chu michavai ahi.” tin naseiye.
Come in have the days of inspection, Come in have the days of recompence, Israel doth know! a fool [is] the prophet, Mad [is] the man of the Spirit, Because of the abundance of thine iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
8 Themgao chu Israel pumpi Pathen dinga khongahpa ahin, ahijeng vanga chu achena chan-a thang kikampeh ahin, Pathen houin sunga jong hotna adimset tai.
Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! a snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.
9 Kamite natoh ho chu, tumasang Gibeah nikho laiya bangin asetnau anasabeh seh jengtai.
They have gone deep — have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.
10 Pakaiyin aseiye, “O Israel, amasapen-a kanamu chun, gamgo lah-a lengpi theiga hingset bangin kamun ahi. Napu napateu kanamu chun, aphat laiya theichang agamasa amin banga kanamu ahin, ahivanginla amahon Baal-peor lampia acheuvin, amahotah akipelutun, jachat umtah milim houna munah akiheilut tauve. Hetman loukah in thet umtah chondihlou asohtauve. Chondihlou ahiphat un chonna dihlou milim ahou tauvin ahi.
As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They — they have gone in [to] Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.
11 Israel aloupina ho chu vacha banga leng mang ding, chahing jong umlou ding, agaijong umlou ding, naovop jong bei ding ahi.
Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without birth, And without womb, and without conception.
12 Cha neimong mong jongleu, kasuh beiya pul kadousah ding ahiuve. Keiman kakiheimanga nachanga kadalhah tengle, hichu hahsatna nikho hiding ahi.
For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless — without man, Surely also, woe to them, when I turn aside from them.
13 Keiman Israel kavetlhih jing ahin, Tua a hoi banga hoi ahi. Ahinlah tua hi achate tha gamna dinga Israel kipuidoh ding ahi.
Ephraim! when I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out unto a slayer his sons.
14 O Pakai namite dinga ipi iti kathum peh ding ham? Kathum ding chu nao penlhah louna dinga naobu, nao-an atwi beina ding ham!
Give to them, Jehovah — what dost Thou give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
15 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Achon phatlou nau jouse hung kipatna hi Gilgal ahi. Hichea patna chu kavetda nau hung kipan ahitai. Kagamsunga kona amahohi katheh ngim ding ahi, ajeh chu amahon kadeilou chonset aboldoh jeh uva. Keiman kangailut kittah houhel dingu ahitai. Ajeh chu alamkai hou jong gucha ahibouve.
All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I do drive them, I add not to love them, all their heads [are] apostates.
16 Israel mite chu akigotdan danu alhasamun, Ajungu jong agolhagam tan ahi, Chule athingphung jong gatalou ding ahi. Chule cha hing namao jongleh katha ding ahi.”
Ephraim hath been smitten, Their root hath dried up, fruit they yield not, Yea, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
17 Ka Pathen in Israel mite chu apaidoh ding ahitai. Ajeh chu amahon kathu ngaipovintin, nitpouvinte. Amaho chu inneilouva namdang mite laha vahkoi leding ahiuve.
Reject them doth my God, Because they have not hearkened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!
