Hosea 5
1 Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, members of the royal family!
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 Judgment belongs with you because you have been a snare set at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor. You dug a deep trap in Shittim, but I will punish you for all these things you have done.
Satheinaw theinae lahoi yon na pap sak awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw abuemlah ka yue han.
3 I know Ephraim very well, and Israel cannot hide from me, for now Ephraim is a prostitute and 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 Your actions stop you from coming back to your God for a spirit of prostitution is within you and you do not know the Lord.
Ahnimanaw teh, kâyonae muitha ahnimouh koe ao dawkvah, Cathut panuek awh hoeh.
5 Israel's pride speaks against them, right in the face. Israel and Ephraim will stumble because of their guilt, and Judah will stumble along 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 will go to seek the Lord with their herds and flocks, but they will not find him, for he has given up on 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 and have had children that are not his. Now the New Moon will destroy them along with their fields.
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 horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Shout an alarm in Beth-aven! Lead the way, 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 left desolate on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is the real truth.
Isarelnaw yuenae tueng nah Ephraim teh kingdi han. Patuen kaawm hane naw hah ka pâpho.
10 The rulers of Judah have become thieves like those who illegally move boundaries. I will pour out my anger like water upon them.
Judah siangpahrangnaw teh lawrilung ka puen e taminaw patetlah ao awh. Kai ni ahnimouh koe ka lungkhueknae tui patetlah ka awi han.
11 The people of Ephraim are crushed, smashed to pieces in judgment because they were determined to follow human commands.
Ephraim teh rektapnae a khang. Lawkcengnae a kâhmo dawkvah, a sung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni ama lung lahoi kâpoe e patetlah a sak.
12 I am like a maggot to Ephraim, and like something rotten to the people of Judah.
Kai teh Ephraim koe ahri lah, Judah koe patawnae lah ka o han.
13 When Ephraim saw how sick they were, and Judah saw how wounded they were, Ephraim turned to the great king of Assyria for help, but he could not heal them or cure their wounds.
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 will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a fierce lion to the people of Judah. I will come and tear them to pieces, and carry them off, and no one will be able to 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 leave and return to where I came from until they acknowledge their wrongs, and in their distress they will seek my face and beg for my help.”
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.
