< Hosea 9 >

1 Israel, don't rejoice! Don't celebrate like other nations! For you have practiced prostitution; you have loved a prostitute's wages on every threshing floor of grain.
O Israel mipite, Namdangte ho bangin kipah hihun. Ajeh chu na Pathen a dinga tahsan umtalou, notia pang dinga nangmatah kijoh nahitai. Changphol chung jousea gamchom mite pathen- nahoutai,
2 Your threshing floors and winepresses will not feed you; the land will fail to produce your new wine.
Abonchauva changphola chang in avah va lou ding. Lengpithei konga lengpi thei in jong ato loudiu ahi. Lengpi twithah kichilin jong abonchauva ato louding, chang lou ding ahiuve.
3 You will not stay in the Lord's land, instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Hijeha chu Pakai gamsunga chengden lou diu, Ephraim vang chu Egypt gam'a kile kit ding ahi. Chujongle Assyria gam'a jong chu amahon an thenglou aganeh diu,
4 You won't pour out any drink offerings to the Lord. None of your sacrifices will please him. Your sacrifices will be like food eaten by a person in mourning—all who eat will be unclean. You will eat this food yourselves, but it will not enter the house of the Lord.
Pakai houna dinga juning jong alhit lou dingu, kilhaina gantha ijat bol jongleu alungu lhai lou dingu ahitai. Aneh dingu changlhah jong chu kap le lunghema aneh diu ahi. Hitobang an ho chu abohkhat in atohkhah a boh bonga bohsoh ahitan, nehthei hijeng jongleh Pakai houin'a ato thei lou diu ahiye.
5 What are you going to do on the days of your appointed religious feasts, on the days of the festivals of the Lord?
Phat neiya kibol kut chu, iti naboldiu ham, Pakai dia golvah nikholeh ipi boltauvin natem?
6 Look, they have left because of the destruction: Egypt with gather them, and Memphis will bury them. They gain a “valued possession” for their silver. Weeds will possess them, and thorns will grow over their tents.
Ajeh chu amaho kisuhgamna jeh'a chemang ahitauve, Egypt in akhop khom dingu, Memphis in avui dingu ahi. Adangka kholnao mun nom ho chu ling dimding chule ahoubuh sunguva jong ling ho keh ding ahi.
7 The time of punishment has come; the day of retribution has arrived. Let Israel know! You say the prophet is a fool, the man of the Spirit is mad, because your sin and hostility is so great.
Gotna kipehna ding nikho ho ahung lhungtan, kilethuhna nikho ho ahunglhungtai. Israel in hichu ahet ding ahi, nakhan gitlounao adimset jehle hotna lentah umho jeh chun “Themgao chu mingol ahin, chule lhagao mi chu michavai ahi.” tin naseiye.
8 The watchman over Ephraim is with my God, and a prophet is a birdcatcher's snare on all his ways. Hatred is in the house of his God
Themgao chu Israel pumpi Pathen dinga khongahpa ahin, ahijeng vanga chu achena chan-a thang kikampeh ahin, Pathen houin sunga jong hotna adimset tai.
9 for they have corrupted themselves so deeply, as in the time of Gibeah. He will remember their sin; he will punish their wickedness.
Kamite natoh ho chu, tumasang Gibeah nikho laiya bangin asetnau anasabeh seh jengtai.
10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your forefathers it was like seeing early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they gave themselves over to that shameful idol, becoming as filthy as the filthy thing they loved.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “O Israel, amasapen-a kanamu chun, gamgo lah-a lengpi theiga hingset bangin kamun ahi. Napu napateu kanamu chun, aphat laiya theichang agamasa amin banga kanamu ahin, ahivanginla amahon Baal-peor lampia acheuvin, amahotah akipelutun, jachat umtah milim houna munah akiheilut tauve. Hetman loukah in thet umtah chondihlou asohtauve. Chondihlou ahiphat un chonna dihlou milim ahou tauvin ahi.
11 Ephraim! Like a bird that flies away so shall your glory—no births, no pregnancies, no conceptions.
Israel aloupina ho chu vacha banga leng mang ding, chahing jong umlou ding, agaijong umlou ding, naovop jong bei ding ahi.
12 Even if they bring up children, I will make sure they do not survive. What a disaster for you when I turn away from you!
Cha neimong mong jongleu, kasuh beiya pul kadousah ding ahiuve. Keiman kakiheimanga nachanga kadalhah tengle, hichu hahsatna nikho hiding ahi.
13 Ephraim! Just as I saw Tyre planted in a meadow, so too Ephraim will lead out his children to the murderer.
Keiman Israel kavetlhih jing ahin, Tua a hoi banga hoi ahi. Ahinlah tua hi achate tha gamna dinga Israel kipuidoh ding ahi.
14 Give them—well, Lord, what should you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and dry breasts.
O Pakai namite dinga ipi iti kathum peh ding ham? Kathum ding chu nao penlhah louna dinga naobu, nao-an atwi beina ding ham!
15 All of their evil began at Gilgal, and that's where I began to hate them. I will drive them out of my house because of their wickedness. I will love them no longer; all their leaders are rebels.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Achon phatlou nau jouse hung kipatna hi Gilgal ahi. Hichea patna chu kavetda nau hung kipan ahitai. Kagamsunga kona amahohi katheh ngim ding ahi, ajeh chu amahon kadeilou chonset aboldoh jeh uva. Keiman kangailut kittah houhel dingu ahitai. Ajeh chu alamkai hou jong gucha ahibouve.
16 Ephraim, you are blighted, dried up from the roots. You shall bear no fruit. Even if you have children, I will slaughter your beloved offspring.
Israel mite chu akigotdan danu alhasamun, Ajungu jong agolhagam tan ahi, Chule athingphung jong gatalou ding ahi. Chule cha hing namao jongleh katha ding ahi.”
17 My God will reject you because you have not listened to him, and you will become homeless wanderers among the nations.
Ka Pathen in Israel mite chu apaidoh ding ahitai. Ajeh chu amahon kathu ngaipovintin, nitpouvinte. Amaho chu inneilouva namdang mite laha vahkoi leding ahiuve.
