Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, house of the king! For judgment is coming against you all. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
Khosoih rhoek he he ya uh lamtah Israel imkhui loh hnatung uh. Manghai imkhui long khawhnakaeng laeh. Mizpah ah pael la na om uh tih Tabor ah lawk na phuel dongah nangmih ham laitloeknah om.
2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter, but I will punish all of them.
Boekoek ngawnnah dongah muelh uh tih te boeih te kai loh thuituennah ka khueh.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
Ephraim khaw ka ming tih Israel khaw kai lamloh a thuh thai moenih. Ephraim loh na cukhalh neh Israel a poeih coeng.
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to God, for the mind of adultery is in them, and they do not know Yahweh.
A Pathen taengla mael ham khaw a khoboe te a voeih uh moenih. Pumyoihnah mueihla loh amih kotak ah om tih BOEIPA te ming uh pawh.
5 The pride of Israel testifies against him; so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them.
A maelhmai ah Israel kah hoemdamnah a doo dongah Israel neh Ephraim khaw amamih kathaesainah dongah paloe uh. Te vaengah amih taengkah Judah khaw paloe.
6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
A boiva neh, a saelhung neh BOEIPA tlap hamla cet uh dae amih lamloh a khoe uh coeng dongah hmu uh mahpawh.
7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
Halh ca a cun uh tih BOEIPA taengah hnukpoh uh dongah amih te hlasae neh a khoyo a yoop pah pawn ni.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
Gibeah ah tuki neh Ramah ah olueng ueng uh. Benjamin nang hnukah Bethaven yuhui saeh.
9 Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
A cak la ka ming dongah Israel koca taengkah toelthamnah hnin ah Ephraim khaw imsuep la om ni.
10 The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone. I will pour my wrath on them like water.
Judah mangpa rhoek he rhi rhawt la a om uh dongah ka thinpom he tui bangla amih soah ka hawk ni.
11 Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked after idols.
Olrhi hnukah pongpa ham mulmet tih laitloeknah aka phop Ephraim te a hnaemtaek coeng.
12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
Te dongah kai he Ephraim taengah bungbo bangla, Judah imkhui ham keet la ka tlung pah ni.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and Judah sent messengers to the great king. But he was not able to cure you people or heal your wound.
Ephraim loh amah kah tlohtat, Judah loh amah kah a hma te a hmuh vaengah Ephraim te Assyria la cet tih manghai Jareb te a tah. Tedae anih loh nangmih te hoeih sak ham noeng pawt tih nangmih kah a hma te a toi moenih.
14 So I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry them off, and there will be no one to rescue them.
Kai he Ephraim taengah sathuengca la, Judah imkhui taengah sathueng la ka poeh pah. Kai loh ka baeh vetih ka cet ni. Ka khuen vaengah khaw huul uh mahpawh.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
A boe nah rhi ah ni kamah hmuen la ka cet vetih ka mael eh. Amamih kah rhal khuiah ni ka maelhmai a tlap uh vetih kai n'toem uh eh.
