Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel! for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Pakai thusei ngaiyuvin, O Israel mite! Ajeh chu Pakaiyin gamsunga chengte toh kinelna khat aneiye. “Kitahna aumpoi, kikhotona jong aumpoi, nagamsunguva Pathen hetna jong aumpoi.
2 Swearing and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery! they break all bounds, and blood toucheth blood.
Kihahselna jeng alengin, jouthu jeng akiseiyin, na kithatun chule naguchauvin, jonthanhoi nabollun, muntin jousea nakisatun, khatle khat nakithat touvin ahi.
3 Therefore doth the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein doth languish, with the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also are taken away.
Hijeh chun nagamsungu hi mihem lunghem bangin alunghemtan, gamsunga cheng miho jong alunggimsoh tauve. Chule mijousen phat namoh mansahuvin, gamlaha gamsaho jeng jong alunghem sohtauvin, chunga leng vachate jengjong alunghem gamtauve. Twilaha nga ho jeng jong, aum gam tapouve.
4 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
Koimacha nakhutjungin koh hihin, chule akiheh tojong koima umda jenghen! Ajeh chu keitoh kinelkal, nangjoh nahi, vo thempu.
5 Therefore shalt thou stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
Hijeha chu sunlai changa jong nakipal lhuh ding, jan tengle themgao pa jong nakipal lhuh tha ding ahi.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
Kamite chu hetna alhahsam jeh'un amang gam tauve.
7 The more they were increased, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.
Thempu atam chenin, chonse kei douding atame.
8 They feed on the sin of My people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Miten chonset thilto ahin pohlut chanin, thempuho athaouve.
9 And it is like people, like priest; and I will punish him for his ways, and will recompense him his doings.
Chule thempun bolkhat aneile, mipiten jong abolluve.
10 And they shall eat, and not have enough, they shall commit harlotry, and shall not increase; because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
Amahon neuvintin, ahijeng vanga gilkel ding ahiuve. Notin panguvin tin hinlah pungthei lou ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu Pakai dalhan notia pang dingin, donlouvin akoitauve.
11 Harlotry, wine, and new wine take away the heart.
Ju jeng, juthah jeng adonuvin, jun kamite aguhmang ahitai.
12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of harlotry hath caused them to err, and they have gone astray from under their God.
Amahon thing khat pou adongun, molkang khattouvin akhonung thu-u aseipeh theiding atahsanun ahi. Milim doihou angaichat chun, angolsah-u ahitai. Amahon noti hi akichepnauvin, pathen dang ajenun ahi.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and offer upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good; therefore your daughters commit harlotry, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
Amahon molsangvumah, kilhainan gan athatuve. Amaho lhangvumah akaltouvun, gimnamtwi ahaluve.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves consort with lewd women, and they sacrifice with harlots; and the people that is without understanding is distraught.
Ahinlah ibola kagimbol dingham natia apanu leh ajon thanhoi jeh-a? O hetna lhasam mingol ho! thil hetkhanna nanotthap tauve. Namiten jong amaho bol bang bang abolluvin ahi.
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah become guilty; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear: 'As the LORD liveth.'
Israel, nang notin pangjeng jongle chun, Juda vang themmo chansah loujenin. Gilgal khopia hunglut dan, Beth-aven a jong hung lutdan.
16 For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn heifer; now shall the LORD feed them as a lamb in a large place?
Bongla gol louchal bangin Israel hi alou challe. Pakaiyin hamhing gam lentaha kelngoi avah banga, Israelte hi avah jing jeng ding hinam ong?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
Israel hi achangin dalhan, ajeh chu amahi jonthanhoi toh kicheng ahitai.
18 When their carouse is over, they take to harlotry; her rulers deeply love dishonour.
Jukham hon khat chu noti ho toh alumkhomtauve. Aloupi diu sangin ajachat diu adeijouve.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her skirts; and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Khoppi huijin alhaving tenin achun chah kheh in Maicham hijat asemthu jouse jeh'a hi kijumso diu ahi.
