Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of Yahweh, ye sons of Israel, —that, a controversy, hath Yahweh with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness, nor lovingkindness, 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 Cursing and lying, and killing and stealing, and committing adultery, have broken forth, and, blood-shedding, unto blood-shedding, doth extend.
Kihahselna jeng alengin, jouthu jeng akiseiyin, na kithatun chule naguchauvin, jonthanhoi nabollun, muntin jousea nakisatun, khatle khat nakithat touvin ahi.
3 For this cause, shall the land mourn, and everyone who dwelleth therein shall languish, with the wild beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, —moreover also, the fishes of the sea, shall be withdrawn.
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 Howbeit let, no man, contend, nor let him rebuke another, —since, thy people, are as they who contend against a priest:
Koimacha nakhutjungin koh hihin, chule akiheh tojong koima umda jenghen! Ajeh chu keitoh kinelkal, nangjoh nahi, vo thempu.
5 So shouldst thou stumble in the daytime, and even the prophet stumble with thee, in the night, —and I should destroy thine own 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, therefore will I reject thee from ministering as priest unto me, and, because thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also, will forget thy children.
Kamite chu hetna alhahsam jeh'un amang gam tauve.
7 As they were magnified, so, they sinned against me, —My glory—for what was contemptible, did they exchange.
Thempu atam chenin, chonse kei douding atame.
8 The sin of my people, they do eat, —and. unto their iniquity, lift they up every man his desire.
Miten chonset thilto ahin pohlut chanin, thempuho athaouve.
9 So doth it come to be—like people, like priest, —therefore will I visit upon him his ways, and, his doings, will I bring back to him;
Chule thempun bolkhat aneile, mipiten jong abolluve.
10 And they shall eat, and not be satisfied, they have encouraged unchastity, yet have not been making increase, —for unto, Yahweh, have they left off giving heed: —
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 Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.
Ju jeng, juthah jeng adonuvin, jun kamite aguhmang ahitai.
12 My people, of their Wood, do ask, —Let, their Staff, then tell them, —for, the spirit of unchastity, hath led them astray, and they have unchastely departed 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 On the headlands of the mountains, they sacrifice, and, on the hills, burn they incense, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because, pleasant, is the shade thereof: For this cause, do your daughters, become unchaste, and, your brides, commit adultery.
Amahon molsangvumah, kilhainan gan athatuve. Amaho lhangvumah akaltouvun, gimnamtwi ahaluve.
14 I do not bring punishment upon your daughters when they become unchaste, nor upon your brides, when they commit adultery, for, the men themselves, with unchaste women, do seclude themselves, and, with the common women of the shrine, do offer sacrifice, —and, a people who will not discern, must be ruined.
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 unchaste art thou, O Israel, let not Judah, become guilty, neither let them enter Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and [then] swear, By the life of Yahweh!
Israel, nang notin pangjeng jongle chun, Juda vang themmo chansah loujenin. Gilgal khopia hunglut dan, Beth-aven a jong hung lutdan.
16 For, as a heifer that is stubborn, hath Israel, been stubborn, —Now, can Yahweh, turn them out to pasture, like a young ram in a wide 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 Mated with idols, is Ephraim, let him alone.
Israel hi achangin dalhan, ajeh chu amahi jonthanhoi toh kicheng ahitai.
18 Their drinking-bout, having passed, —they became, unchaste, they loved wildly, a contempt, became her great men.
Jukham hon khat chu noti ho toh alumkhomtauve. Aloupi diu sangin ajachat diu adeijouve.
19 The wind hath bound her up in its wings, —that they may be ashamed, because of their sacrifices.
Khoppi huijin alhaving tenin achun chah kheh in Maicham hijat asemthu jouse jeh'a hi kijumso diu ahi.
