Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
Pakai thusei ngaiyuvin, O Israel mite! Ajeh chu Pakaiyin gamsunga chengte toh kinelna khat aneiye. “Kitahna aumpoi, kikhotona jong aumpoi, nagamsunguva Pathen hetna jong aumpoi.
2 Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
Kihahselna jeng alengin, jouthu jeng akiseiyin, na kithatun chule naguchauvin, jonthanhoi nabollun, muntin jousea nakisatun, khatle khat nakithat touvin ahi.
3 Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
Hijeh chun nagamsungu hi mihem lunghem bangin alunghemtan, gamsunga cheng miho jong alunggimsoh tauve. Chule mijousen phat namoh mansahuvin, gamlaha gamsaho jeng jong alunghem sohtauvin, chunga leng vachate jengjong alunghem gamtauve. Twilaha nga ho jeng jong, aum gam tapouve.
4 But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
Koimacha nakhutjungin koh hihin, chule akiheh tojong koima umda jenghen! Ajeh chu keitoh kinelkal, nangjoh nahi, vo thempu.
5 You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
Hijeha chu sunlai changa jong nakipal lhuh ding, jan tengle themgao pa jong nakipal lhuh tha ding ahi.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
Kamite chu hetna alhahsam jeh'un amang gam tauve.
7 The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
Thempu atam chenin, chonse kei douding atame.
8 They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
Miten chonset thilto ahin pohlut chanin, thempuho athaouve.
9 And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
Chule thempun bolkhat aneile, mipiten jong abolluve.
10 They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have stopped obeying the LORD.
Amahon neuvintin, ahijeng vanga gilkel ding ahiuve. Notin panguvin tin hinlah pungthei lou ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu Pakai dalhan notia pang dingin, donlouvin akoitauve.
11 Promiscuity, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
Ju jeng, juthah jeng adonuvin, jun kamite aguhmang ahitai.
12 My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
Amahon thing khat pou adongun, molkang khattouvin akhonung thu-u aseipeh theiding atahsanun ahi. Milim doihou angaichat chun, angolsah-u ahitai. Amahon noti hi akichepnauvin, pathen dang ajenun ahi.
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
Amahon molsangvumah, kilhainan gan athatuve. Amaho lhangvumah akaltouvun, gimnamtwi ahaluve.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
Ahinlah ibola kagimbol dingham natia apanu leh ajon thanhoi jeh-a? O hetna lhasam mingol ho! thil hetkhanna nanotthap tauve. Namiten jong amaho bol bang bang abolluvin ahi.
15 Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
Israel, nang notin pangjeng jongle chun, Juda vang themmo chansah loujenin. Gilgal khopia hunglut dan, Beth-aven a jong hung lutdan.
16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
Bongla gol louchal bangin Israel hi alou challe. Pakaiyin hamhing gam lentaha kelngoi avah banga, Israelte hi avah jing jeng ding hinam ong?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
Israel hi achangin dalhan, ajeh chu amahi jonthanhoi toh kicheng ahitai.
18 When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
Jukham hon khat chu noti ho toh alumkhomtauve. Aloupi diu sangin ajachat diu adeijouve.
19 The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
Khoppi huijin alhaving tenin achun chah kheh in Maicham hijat asemthu jouse jeh'a hi kijumso diu ahi.
