Hosea 4
1 Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
BOEIPA ol he Israel ca rhoek loh ya saeh. BOEIPA kah tuituknah te diklai khosa taengah om coeng. Oltak tal tih sitlohnah tal coeng. Diklai ah Pathen mingnah khaw tal coeng.
2 There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
Tap ham neh basa ham, ngawn ham neh huen hamla, samphaih ham a phae uh tih thii te thii la a kap sakuh.
3 Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.
Te dongah khohmuen loh nguekcoi tih a khuikah khosa boeih khaw tahah coeng. Diklai mulhing neh vaan kah vaa khaw, tuitunli kah nga khaw khum coeng.
4 Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
Tedae hlang loh ho boel saeh lamtah hlang loh tluung boel saeh. Na pilnam khaw khosoih kah a ho bangla om coeng.
5 You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
Khothaih ah na paloe vetih na taengkah tonghma khaw khoyin ah paloe ni. Te vaengah na manu te ka hmata sak ni.
6 Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
Mingnah a tal lamloh ka pilnam hmata uh coeng. Nang loh mingnah na hnawt dongah nang te ka khosoih lamloh kan hnawt. Na Pathen kah olkhueng na hnilh dongah kai long khaw na ca rhoek te ka hnilh ni.
7 Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
A pungtai uh bangla kai taengah a tholh dongah amih thangpomnah te yahpohnah neh ka tho pah.
8 The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.
Ka pilnam kah boirhaem maeh a caak tih amih kathaesainah dongah a hinglu a phueih uh.
9 And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
Te dongah pilnam bangla khosoih khaw om boeiloeih coeng. Anih te a longpuei ka cawh vetih a khoboe bangla amah te ka thuung ni.
10 They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.
BOEIPA te hnawt hamla a dawn uh dongah ca uh cakhaw uh hah uh mahpawh. Cukhalh uh cakhaw pungtai uh mahpawh.
11 Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom.
Pumyoihnah, misurrhuem neh misur thai loh lungbuei ni a. loh.
12 My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
Ka pilnam loh a thingngo te a dawt tih a conghol loh anih ham a thui pah. Pumyoihnah mueihla dongah kho a hmang tih a Pathen hnuk lamloh cukhalh uh.
13 They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
Tlang soi ah a nawn uh tih som kah thingnu, khabok neh rhokael hmui he a hlip a then dongah a phum uh. He dongah ni na tanu rhoek loh cukhalh uh tih na langa rhoek khaw a samphaih uh.
14 I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
Na tanu te cukhalh uh tih na langa rhoek te a samphaih vaengah ka cawh mahpawt nim? Amih te pumyoi rhoek neh pam uh tih hlanghalh rhoek taengah a nawn uh. Tedae pilnam khaw a yakming pawt dongah caehdoelh ni.
15 Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
Israel nang na cukhalh akhaw Judah te boe pawt lah mako. Gilgal te paan boel lamtah Bethaven la cet boeh. BOEIPA kah hingnah te toemngam uh boeh.
16 For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.
Israel kah thinthah, thinthah rhoe mah vaito banghui pawni. Amih te BOEIPA loh tuca bangla a hoengpoeknah ah a luem sak coeng dae ta.
17 Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.
Muei aka sun Ephraim aw anih te toeng laeh.
18 Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
A yuhuem te a khok vaengah a cukhalh hmuen la cukhalh uh tih a photling kah yahpohnah te a lung la a lungnah uh.
19 They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.
Amah neh a phae te khohli loh a yawn vetih a hmueih dongah yak ni.
