Hosi 5
1 Oe thai awh haw, vaihmanaw. Isarel miphunnaw hoi siangpahrang im dawk kaawm e naw, nangmanaw teh lawkceng lah na o awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmanaw teh Mizpah mon dawk tangkam lah, Tabor mon dawk patung e tamlawk karap lah na o awh.
Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
2 Satheinaw theinae lahoi yon na pap sak awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw abuemlah ka yue han.
And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
3 Ephraim e akong teh ka panue, Isarel hai ka hmalah kâhrawk thai mahoeh. Ephraim nang teh atu roeroe na kâyo. Isarel teh a khin.
I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
4 Ahnimanaw teh, kâyonae muitha ahnimouh koe ao dawkvah, Cathut panuek awh hoeh.
They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Isarelnaw e a kâoupnae ni amamouh a pabo teh, Isarel hoi Ephraim teh amamae yon dawk a rawp awh teh, ahnimouh hoi cungtalah Judahnaw hai a rawp han.
And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
6 Tuhu, maitohu a hrawi awh teh, Cathut tawng hanelah a cei awh eiteh, hmawt awh mahoeh. Cathut teh ahnimouh hoi a kâhla toe.
With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
7 Ahnimanaw teh Cathut koe lawk a kam awh e a raphoe awh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, alouke miphunnaw a khe awh toe. Amamouh hoi cungtalah a hnopainaw hai a rawk han.
They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
8 Gibeah kho dawk vovit hai thoseh, Ramah kho dawk mongka hai thoseh, kâhruetcuetnae ueng awh. Oe! Benjamin miphun hnuklah kangvawi haw.
Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
9 Isarelnaw yuenae tueng nah Ephraim teh kingdi han. Patuen kaawm hane naw hah ka pâpho.
Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
10 Judah siangpahrangnaw teh lawrilung ka puen e taminaw patetlah ao awh. Kai ni ahnimouh koe ka lungkhueknae tui patetlah ka awi han.
The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
11 Ephraim teh rektapnae a khang. Lawkcengnae a kâhmo dawkvah, a sung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni ama lung lahoi kâpoe e patetlah a sak.
Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
12 Kai teh Ephraim koe ahri lah, Judah koe patawnae lah ka o han.
And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 Ephraim ni a hmânaw thoseh, Judah ni a patawnae thoseh, a hmu toteh Ephraim teh Assiria koe a cei han. Judah teh Jareb siangpahrang koe a cei han. Hatei, hote siangpahrangnaw ni dam sak thai mahoeh.
And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kai teh Ephraim koe sendek patetlah Judah koe sendek thoundoun lah ka o han. Kai ni ka kei e hoi ka rakoung e teh apinihai na lawm thai mahoeh.
For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
15 Ahnimanaw ni a yonae a pâpho awh hoehroukrak, kai na tawng awh hoehroukrak kama ka onae koe ka cei vaiteh hawvah ka o han. Runae a kâhmo awh toteh kai na tawng awh han.
I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
