Hosea 9

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.

Oe Isarelnaw, Jentelnaw patetlah konawm hoi lamtu awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na Cathut na pahnawt awh teh, alouke cathut hoi na kâyo awh toe. Cangkatinnae pueng dawk kâyonae phu hah na ngai awh toe.

2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

Cangkatinnae hoi misur paw katinnae ni na kawk mahoeh. Misurtui a katha e hai ngaihawi awh e patetlah tâcawt mahoeh.

3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.

Ephraim teh Cathut e talai dawk khosak awh mahoeh. Izip ram lah bout a ban awh vaiteh, Assiria ram vah kathounghoehe rawca a ca awh han.

4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

Misurtui awi thuengnae hah Cathut koe na sak awh hoeh. Thueng e naw hai a lungyouk mahoeh. Hote Sathei moi teh, khuika laihoi ro kathaknaw e rawca patetlah ao. Ka cat e tamipueng a khin awh han. Ahnimanaw e rawca hah amamouh roeroe ni cat awh naseh. Cathut e im dawk hrueng awh han naseh.

5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

Bawipa e pawi hnin hoi, Bawipa koe pasoungnae hnin dawkvah, bangtelamaw na sak awh han toung.

6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.

Rawknae dawk hoi ka hlout awh nakunghai, Izip ram pâkhueng awh vaiteh, Memphis khocanaw ni a pakawp awh han. Ngun hoi a pathoup awh e imnaw hah pâkhing tangdun a phunphun ni rup a yam sin han.

7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.

Lawkceng nahane hnin a pha toe. Moipathungnae hnin a pha toe. Isarelnaw ni a panue awh han. Profet teh a pathu awh toe. Muitha tami hai a pathu toe. Na yonnae apap e patetlah puenghoi raphoenae na khang han.

8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.

Ephraim ramvengnaw teh Cathut koe ao awh. Hatei, profet teh, a tawksak e pueng hah karap lah ao. A Cathut e im dawk patenghai kâhmuhmanae ka sak e lah ao.

9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

Gibeah senae patetlah puenghoi a rawk awh toe. A yonae hah a pâkuem pouh teh, a yonae dawk lawk a ceng han.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.

Isarel teh kahrawngum e misur paw patetlah ka hmu teh, na mintoenaw hah thaibunglung a paw hmaloe kahmin e patetlah ka hmu. Ahnimouh teh Baalpeor koe amahmawk a cei awh teh, kayanae dawk a tak a kâhmoun awh teh, a doun awh e patetlah panuettho e hno hah a sak awh.

11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

Ephraim bawilennae teh tava patetlah a kamleng han. Ca khenae, camo vawnnae, pacipnae awm mahoeh.

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!

A canaw hah a kawk awh eiteh, buet touh boehai hlout laipalah ka lawp han. Ahnimanaw hah Kai ni ka hnoun toteh lungmathoe hanlah ao tangngak.

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

Ephraim teh Taire kho patetlah karoum e boiboe lah ao eiteh, a canu capanaw hah tami kathetnaw koe a thak awh han.

14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

Oe Cathut, na poe awh haw. Bangtelamaw na poe awh han. Camo ka vawn hoe e sanutui ka tâcawt hoeh e sanu na poe a haw.

15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.

Gilgal khovah, a sak awh e yon ao teh, hote hmuen koe ahnimouh hah kai ni ka panuet. Ahnimae yonnae kecu dawk ka im dawk hoi ka pâlei han. Ahnimouh hah bout ka lungpataw mahoeh. Ahnimae bawinaw pueng teh taran lah ka thaw e seng doeh.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.

Ephraim teh ahri ni a ca dawkvah, a tangpha a ke teh, a paw paw thai hoeh. Capa a khe awh ei, a pahren awh e capanaw hah ka thei pouh awh han.

17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Kai Cathut e lawk hah a ngâi awh hoeh dawkvah, ka hnoun vaiteh, miphunlouknaw koe parang a kâva awh han.
