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.
“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgement is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 Satheinaw theinae lahoi yon na pap sak awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw abuemlah ka yue han.
The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
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 is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
4 Ahnimanaw teh, kâyonae muitha ahnimouh koe ao dawkvah, Cathut panuek awh hoeh.
Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know 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.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble 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.
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.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 are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8 Gibeah kho dawk vovit hai thoseh, Ramah kho dawk mongka hai thoseh, kâhruetcuetnae ueng awh. Oe! Benjamin miphun hnuklah kangvawi haw.
“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
9 Isarelnaw yuenae tueng nah Ephraim teh kingdi han. Patuen kaawm hane naw hah ka pâpho.
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Amongst the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
10 Judah siangpahrangnaw teh lawrilung ka puen e taminaw patetlah ao awh. Kai ni ahnimouh koe ka lungkhueknae tui patetlah ka awi han.
The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on 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 is oppressed, he is crushed in judgement, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 Kai teh Ephraim koe ahri lah, Judah koe patawnae lah ka o han.
Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
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.
“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
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 to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
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 they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
