Hosea 7
1 “and when I wanted to heal them [again], [I did not do it, ] [because] I saw the wicked things that [the people of] Samaria [city] and [other places in] Israel [DOU] have done. They constantly deceive others; bandits rob people in the streets.
Keiman Israel kasuhdam nome, ahinlah achonset nao asang behsehe. Samaria hi jou le nal jeng seinaa dimset jeng ahiuve, Gucha insunga alut tan, michom ho polama ading jingui!
2 But they do not realize that I do not forget all the evil things that they do. [It is as though] they are surrounded by [all] the sins that they commit; and [it is though] those sins are [always right] in front of me [MTY].
Ken kamu sohlam koiman ahedeh pouve. Achonset nauvin alonvuh dimu, kamusoh keiye.
3 Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
Gitlouna thil abolluvin, lengpa geiyin akipasahuvin, Lengpa chate jengin jong ajou thilbolu chu akipapiuve.
4 [The king and his officials] are all treacherous. [They are always eager to do wicked things; ] they are like [SIM] an oven that is [very] hot: a baker mixes the dough and waits for it to expand, and he does not [need to] cause the oven to become hotter.
Abonchauva hi mitoh kisubohsa jeng ahiuvin, Meilhum sunga kihulsa tobang jeng ahiuvin, Amahohi tapkonga meilhum asat kingah tobang chol kiso changbong akichankah kingah tobang ahiuve.
5 The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
Cholngah nin leng chapten ju adonun, tot chavai hotoh totnan mi anuisat khom.
6 The officials angrily plan to murder the king; it is like [SIM] they have an oven in their inner beings. All during the night their [eagerness/wanting to murder the king] is like a fire that is smouldering, but in the morning it becomes like [MET] a roaring fire.
Alungsungu jong lhummei salai abangin, jan khovahin lungdam mon aum’un. Jingkah leh mei salah lah bongin adiu jeju jiuve.
7 All those officials are like [MET] hot flames that completely burn up their rulers, so all their kings are murdered, and no one pleads with me [to help them].”
Lhumphung salai abangun, alamkai hou jong avallhum sohun, Alenghou jong aban banin athat-un, ahinlah koimachan kakoma panpina athum pouve.
8 “[The leaders of] Israel join with leaders of [godless] nations; so [the leaders of] Israel are [as worthless as] a pancake that is cooked on only one side.
Israelte namtin vaipi pathen helou hotoh akihal sohtan, Changlhah kikang min sohlou tobangbep ahitauve.
9 Joining with the rulers of foreign nations has caused Israel to be a weak [nation], but the Israelis do not realize that. Israel has become [like] [MET] a gray-haired old man, but the people of Israel do not realize it.
Gamchom mite pathen ahou-uvin, atha alhalhop sahin, nahinlah amahon akihet pouve. Aluchunga asamjengjong kangsoh ding ahitan, ahinlah akihet polaiye.
10 Their being proud [PRS] testifies against them, but in spite of that, they do not return to [me], Yahweh, their God, or [even] try to know me.
Israel kiletsahna chu amaho hehin apangin ahinla amaho Pakai henga ahung kiledeh pouvin, holding jong agong pouve.
11 [The people of] Israel have become foolish and stupid like [SIM] doves. [First] they called out to Egypt [to help them], [and then] they sought help from Assyria.
Israel mite hi vakhu banga lungthim bei le nuijat umtah ahiuve. Egypt mitepou akouvin, Assyria gamsung lam pouva akitoluve.
12 But wherever they go [to get help], [I will not allow them to succeed]; [it will be as though] [MET] I will throw a net over them like [SIM] [a hunter uses a net to capture] birds; I will punish them for the evil things that they do.
Chule achunguva len kikhu khum ding, chunga leng vacha banga kamat ding ahiuve, athilse bol chengseu jeh'a kabolgim dingu ahi.
13 Terrible things will happen to them because they abandoned/deserted me! They will be destroyed because they rebelled against me. I wanted to rescue them, but they tell lies about me.
Ohe ada ahiuve, ajeh chu kakoma konin akihei manguvin, eidouvin apanguve.
14 They do not cry out to me sincerely [IDM]; they [only] lie on their beds and wail. They gather together and ask [me to give them] grain and wine, but they turn away from me.
Lung thengsellin kakoma akappouve, hiche sang chun, ajalkhun chung dunguva atouvun, angahun ahi. Amahole amaho akisun chan chanun semthu milim pathen koma henga ju akithum un, kakoma imacha athum nompuve.
15 I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
Keiman kahiluva kahatsah nom vanguvin, kei dounan thilse agong gonguve.
16 They have rejected me, their Great God, and turned to their god Baal; they are [as useless] as [SIM] a crooked bow. Their leaders boast [that they are very strong], but they will be killed by [their enemies’] swords. As a result, [the people of] Egypt will laugh at them.”
Amahon Chungnungpen velouvin, muntin avele leuvin ahi. Amaho panabei thalpi chang lengkoi lebep ahiuve, agalmi tehon alamkaihou athading. Chuteng Egypt miten anuisat diu ahi.
