Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.
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.
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all.
Satheinaw theinae lahoi yon na pap sak awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw abuemlah ka yue han.
3 I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; Israel is defiled.
Ephraim e akong teh ka panue, Isarel hai ka hmalah kâhrawk thai mahoeh. Ephraim nang teh atu roeroe na kâyo. Isarel teh a khin.
4 Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
Ahnimanaw teh, kâyonae muitha ahnimouh koe ao dawkvah, Cathut panuek awh hoeh.
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.
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.
6 They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
Tuhu, maitohu a hrawi awh teh, Cathut tawng hanelah a cei awh eiteh, hmawt awh mahoeh. Cathut teh ahnimouh hoi a kâhla toe.
7 They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.
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.
8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!
Gibeah kho dawk vovit hai thoseh, Ramah kho dawk mongka hai thoseh, kâhruetcuetnae ueng awh. Oe! Benjamin miphun hnuklah kangvawi haw.
9 Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.
Isarelnaw yuenae tueng nah Ephraim teh kingdi han. Patuen kaawm hane naw hah ka pâpho.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.
Judah siangpahrangnaw teh lawrilung ka puen e taminaw patetlah ao awh. Kai ni ahnimouh koe ka lungkhueknae tui patetlah ka awi han.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
Ephraim teh rektapnae a khang. Lawkcengnae a kâhmo dawkvah, a sung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni ama lung lahoi kâpoe e patetlah a sak.
12 So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Kai teh Ephraim koe ahri lah, Judah koe patawnae lah ka o han.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.
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.
14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.
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.
15 Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
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.
