< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
Oe Isarelnaw, Jentelnaw patetlah konawm hoi lamtu awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na Cathut na pahnawt awh teh, alouke cathut hoi na kâyo awh toe. Cangkatinnae pueng dawk kâyonae phu hah na ngai awh toe.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Cangkatinnae hoi misur paw katinnae ni na kawk mahoeh. Misurtui a katha e hai ngaihawi awh e patetlah tâcawt mahoeh.
3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
Ephraim teh Cathut e talai dawk khosak awh mahoeh. Izip ram lah bout a ban awh vaiteh, Assiria ram vah kathounghoehe rawca a ca awh han.
4 They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
Misurtui awi thuengnae hah Cathut koe na sak awh hoeh. Thueng e naw hai a lungyouk mahoeh. Hote Sathei moi teh, khuika laihoi ro kathaknaw e rawca patetlah ao. Ka cat e tamipueng a khin awh han. Ahnimanaw e rawca hah amamouh roeroe ni cat awh naseh. Cathut e im dawk hrueng awh han naseh.
5 What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
Bawipa e pawi hnin hoi, Bawipa koe pasoungnae hnin dawkvah, bangtelamaw na sak awh han toung.
6 For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
Rawknae dawk hoi ka hlout awh nakunghai, Izip ram pâkhueng awh vaiteh, Memphis khocanaw ni a pakawp awh han. Ngun hoi a pathoup awh e imnaw hah pâkhing tangdun a phunphun ni rup a yam sin han.
7 The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
Lawkceng nahane hnin a pha toe. Moipathungnae hnin a pha toe. Isarelnaw ni a panue awh han. Profet teh a pathu awh toe. Muitha tami hai a pathu toe. Na yonnae apap e patetlah puenghoi raphoenae na khang han.
8 Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
Ephraim ramvengnaw teh Cathut koe ao awh. Hatei, profet teh, a tawksak e pueng hah karap lah ao. A Cathut e im dawk patenghai kâhmuhmanae ka sak e lah ao.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Gibeah senae patetlah puenghoi a rawk awh toe. A yonae hah a pâkuem pouh teh, a yonae dawk lawk a ceng han.
10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
Isarel teh kahrawngum e misur paw patetlah ka hmu teh, na mintoenaw hah thaibunglung a paw hmaloe kahmin e patetlah ka hmu. Ahnimouh teh Baalpeor koe amahmawk a cei awh teh, kayanae dawk a tak a kâhmoun awh teh, a doun awh e patetlah panuettho e hno hah a sak awh.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
Ephraim bawilennae teh tava patetlah a kamleng han. Ca khenae, camo vawnnae, pacipnae awm mahoeh.
12 For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
A canaw hah a kawk awh eiteh, buet touh boehai hlout laipalah ka lawp han. Ahnimanaw hah Kai ni ka hnoun toteh lungmathoe hanlah ao tangngak.
13 Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
Ephraim teh Taire kho patetlah karoum e boiboe lah ao eiteh, a canu capanaw hah tami kathetnaw koe a thak awh han.
14 Give them, Jehovah — what wilt thou give? — give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Oe Cathut, na poe awh haw. Bangtelamaw na poe awh han. Camo ka vawn hoe e sanutui ka tâcawt hoeh e sanu na poe a haw.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.
Gilgal khovah, a sak awh e yon ao teh, hote hmuen koe ahnimouh hah kai ni ka panuet. Ahnimae yonnae kecu dawk ka im dawk hoi ka pâlei han. Ahnimouh hah bout ka lungpataw mahoeh. Ahnimae bawinaw pueng teh taran lah ka thaw e seng doeh.
16 Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Ephraim teh ahri ni a ca dawkvah, a tangpha a ke teh, a paw paw thai hoeh. Capa a khe awh ei, a pahren awh e capanaw hah ka thei pouh awh han.
17 My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Kai Cathut e lawk hah a ngâi awh hoeh dawkvah, ka hnoun vaiteh, miphunlouknaw koe parang a kâva awh han.
