Hosi 4
1 Oe! Isarelnaw Cathut e lawk hah thai awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khoca ramcanaw teh Cathut hoi a kâyue awh toe. Ahnimouh teh lawkkam cak awh hoeh, lungmanae tawn awh hoeh, Cathut taket awh hoeh.
Hear the word of Yahweh, ye sons of Israel, —that, a controversy, hath Yahweh with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness, nor lovingkindness, nor knowledge of God, in the land:
2 Thoebonae, laithoenae, parunae, uicuknae hoi tami theinae teh kâhat laipalah a sak awh. Tami theinae yon hoi patuen patuen a kâthap awh.
Cursing and lying, and killing and stealing, and committing adultery, have broken forth, and, blood-shedding, unto blood-shedding, doth extend.
3 Hatdawkvah, ahnimae ram teh a cingou han. Taminaw hoi kahrawng e moithangnaw, kahlun e tavanaw pueng teh a tha a kamyai han. Tuipui dawk e tanganaw hai a thup awh han.
For this cause, shall the land mourn, and everyone who dwelleth therein shall languish, with the wild beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, —moreover also, the fishes of the sea, shall be withdrawn.
4 Hatei, apinihai ngang nahanh seh. Apinihai yue nahan seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange na miphunnaw hai vaihmanaw hoi kaounnaw patetlah doeh ao awh.
Howbeit let, no man, contend, nor let him rebuke another, —since, thy people, are as they who contend against a priest:
5 Hatdawkvah, khodai lah na kamlei awh han. Karum lah vaihmanaw hoi rei na kamlei awh han. Na manu hai ka thei han.
So shouldst thou stumble in the daytime, and even the prophet stumble with thee, in the night, —and I should destroy thine own mother.
6 Ka taminaw teh panuenae ayoun dawkvah a rawk awh. Nang ni panuenae na hnoun dawkvah kaie vaihma lah na o hoeh nahan nang teh na hnoun toe. Na Cathut e lawk na pahnim dawkvah na canaw teh ka pahnim han.
My people, are destroyed, for lack of knowledge, —Because, thou, hast rejected knowledge, therefore will I reject thee from ministering as priest unto me, and, because thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also, will forget thy children.
7 A lentoe awh e patetlah ahnimouh ni kai hah na pahnawt awh toe. Hatdawkvah ahnimae bawilennae hah yeirai ka po sak han.
As they were magnified, so, they sinned against me, —My glory—for what was contemptible, did they exchange.
8 Ka taminaw e yonthanae sathei moi a ca awh nahlangva vah, hote yonnae hah ouk a doun awh.
The sin of my people, they do eat, —and. unto their iniquity, lift they up every man his desire.
9 Hatdawkvah, taminaw koe ka tâcawt e patetlah vaihmanaw koehai ka tâco sak han. Amamae tawksaknae patetlah ka rek vaiteh lengkaleng tawkphu ka poe han.
So doth it come to be—like people, like priest, —therefore will I visit upon him his ways, and, his doings, will I bring back to him;
10 Rawca a ca awh ei, a von paha awh mahoeh. A kâyo awh ei, ca khe awh mahoeh.
And they shall eat, and not be satisfied, they have encouraged unchastity, yet have not been making increase, —for unto, Yahweh, have they left off giving heed: —
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tak kâyonae, misurhruem, misurtui ni a lung a pathu sak teh, Cathut a pahnawt awh toe.
Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.
12 Ka taminaw ni bongpai hoi a kâpan awh teh, sonron koe pouknae a hei awh. Radueknae dawk a lungtang awh lawi vah, amamae Cathut koelah awm laipalah, a kâyo awh toe.
My people, of their Wood, do ask, —Let, their Staff, then tell them, —for, the spirit of unchastity, hath led them astray, and they have unchastely departed from under their God.
13 Monsom vah thuengnae a sak awh teh, monruinaw hoi kathenkungnaw e tâhlip dawk hmuitui hmaisawi e hoi thuengnae a sak awh. Hatdawkvah na canunaw teh kâyawt e lah a coung awh teh, na langanaw teh a uicuk awh.
On the headlands of the mountains, they sacrifice, and, on the hills, burn they incense, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because, pleasant, is the shade thereof: For this cause, do your daughters, become unchaste, and, your brides, commit adultery.
14 Na canunaw ni a kâyo awh teh, na langanaw ni ka uicuk nakunghai lawk na ceng mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na yunaw na ceitakhai awh teh ka kâyawtnaw hoi tak na hmawng awh toe. Kâyawt e napuinaw hoi thuengnae reirei na sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, panuenae kayounnaw teh a rawk awh han.
I do not bring punishment upon your daughters when they become unchaste, nor upon your brides, when they commit adultery, for, the men themselves, with unchaste women, do seclude themselves, and, with the common women of the shrine, do offer sacrifice, —and, a people who will not discern, must be ruined.
15 Oe! Isarelnaw nang teh na tak na kâyo ei nakunghai, Judahnaw na payon hoeh. Gilgal kho hoi kâhnai awh hanh. Bethaven kholah cet awh hanh. Cathut teh a hring dawkvah, thoebo awh hanh.
Though unchaste art thou, O Israel, let not Judah, become guilty, neither let them enter Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and [then] swear, By the life of Yahweh!
16 Oe! Isarelnaw maitola patetlah na lahuen caksak awh hanh. A hmuen kawnae koe tuca khoum e patetlah Isarelnaw na khoum awh han.
For, as a heifer that is stubborn, hath Israel, been stubborn, —Now, can Yahweh, turn them out to pasture, like a young ram in a wide place?
17 Kutsak dawk a lung kapen e Ephraim teh amahmawk awm naseh.
Mated with idols, is Ephraim, let him alone.
18 Yamu a nei awh e teh taranthawnae doeh, pout laipalah a kâyo awh, khobawinaw ni kayanae hah a lungpataw awh.
Their drinking-bout, having passed, —they became, unchaste, they loved wildly, a contempt, became her great men.
19 Kahlî ni kamlengkhai vaiteh, amae thuengnae hnonaw kecu dawk a kaya awh han.
The wind hath bound her up in its wings, —that they may be ashamed, because of their sacrifices.
