Osee 4
1 Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor 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 Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with 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 Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:
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 that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against.
Tedae hlang loh ho boel saeh lamtah hlang loh tluung boel saeh. Na pilnam khaw khosoih kah a ho bangla om coeng.
5 Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with you shall fall: I have compared your mother to night.
Khothaih ah na paloe vetih na taengkah tonghma khaw khoyin ah paloe ni. Te vaengah na manu te ka hmata sak ni.
6 My people are like as if they had no knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall not minister as priest to me: and [as] you has forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
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 According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.
A pungtai uh bangla kai taengah a tholh dongah amih thangpomnah te yahpohnah neh ka tho pah.
8 They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.
Ka pilnam kah boirhaem maeh a caak tih amih kathaesainah dongah a hinglu a phueih uh.
9 And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.
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 And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed 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 The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.
Pumyoihnah, misurrhuem neh misur thai loh lungbuei ni a loh.
12 They asked counsel by [means of] signs, and they reported answer to them by their staves: they have gone astray in a spirit of whoredom, and gone grievously a-whoring from 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 have sacrificed on the tops of the mountains, and on the hills they have sacrificed under the oak and poplar, and under the shady tree, because the shade was good: therefore your daughters shall go a-whoring, and your daughters-in-law shall commit adultery.
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 And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery: for they themselves mingled themselves with harlots, and sacrificed with polluted ones, and the people that understood not entangled itself with a harlot.
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 But you, O Israel, be not ignorant, and go you not, [men of] Juda, to Galgala; and go not up to the house of On, and swear not 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 was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as 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, joined with idols, has laid stumbling blocks in his own way.
Muei aka sun Ephraim aw anih te toeng laeh.
18 He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonour through her insolence.
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 You are a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
Amah neh a phae te khohli loh a yawn vetih a hmueih dongah yak ni.
