< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel: rejoice not as the nations do: for thou hast committed fornication against thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
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 wine shall deceive them.
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 the Lord’s land: Ephraim is returned to Egypt, and hath eaten unclean things among the Assyrians.
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 not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall they please him: their sacrifices shall be like the bread of mourners: all that shall eat it shall be defiled: for their bread is life for their soul, it shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
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 you do in the solemn day, in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Bawipa e pawi hnin hoi, Bawipa koe pasoungnae hnin dawkvah, bangtelamaw na sak awh han toung.
6 For behold they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them together, Memphis shall bury them: nettles shall inherit their beloved silver, the bur shall be in their tabernacles.
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 repaying are come: know ye, O Israel, that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the multitude of thy madness.
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 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: the prophet is become a snare of ruin upon all his ways, madness is 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 sinned deeply, as in the days of Gabaa: he will remember their iniquity, and will visit their sin.
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 like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became abominable, as those things were, which they loved.
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 hath flown away like a bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Ephraim bawilennae teh tava patetlah a kamleng han. Ca khenae, camo vawnnae, pacipnae awm mahoeh.
12 And though they should bring up their children, I will make them without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart 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, was a Tyre founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer.
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, O Lord. What wilt thou give them? Give them a womb without children, 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 Galgal, for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their devices I will cast them forth out of my house: I will love them no more, all their princes are revolters.
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 struck, their root is dried up, they shall yield no fruit. And if they should have issue, I will slay the best 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 will cast them away, because they hearkened not to 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.
