Hosea 4
1 Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel, for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, 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 There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
Kihahselna jeng alengin, jouthu jeng akiseiyin, na kithatun chule naguchauvin, jonthanhoi nabollun, muntin jousea nakisatun, khatle khat nakithat touvin ahi.
3 Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.
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 bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
Koimacha nakhutjungin koh hihin, chule akiheh tojong koima umda jenghen! Ajeh chu keitoh kinelkal, nangjoh nahi, vo thempu.
5 You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your 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 you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.
Kamite chu hetna alhahsam jeh'un amang gam tauve.
7 As they were multiplied, so 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 It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
Chule thempun bolkhat aneile, mipiten jong abolluve.
10 They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to Yahweh.
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 Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
Ju jeng, juthah jeng adonuvin, jun kamite aguhmang ahitai.
12 My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to 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 on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
Amahon molsangvumah, kilhainan gan athatuve. Amaho lhangvumah akaltouvun, gimnamtwi ahaluve.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
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 you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’
Israel, nang notin pangjeng jongle chun, Juda vang themmo chansah loujenin. Gilgal khopia hunglut dan, Beth-aven a jong hung lutdan.
16 For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
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. Leave him alone!
Israel hi achangin dalhan, ajeh chu amahi jonthanhoi toh kicheng ahitai.
18 Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
Jukham hon khat chu noti ho toh alumkhomtauve. Aloupi diu sangin ajachat diu adeijouve.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
Khoppi huijin alhaving tenin achun chah kheh in Maicham hijat asemthu jouse jeh'a hi kijumso diu ahi.
