Hosea 5
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Aw nangcae qaimanawk, tahngai oh! Aw nangcae Israel imthung takohnawk, naa patueng oh! Aw siangpahrang imthung takohnawk, tahngai oh! Nangcae loe lokcaekhaih na tongh o tih; Mizpah ah thaang na patung o moe, Tabor ah palok na payang o.
1Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2Kai mah nihcae to ka thuitaek boih, toe misa angthawk kaminawk loe kami humhaih bangah athum o.
2And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
3Ephraim to ka panoek, Israel loe kai khae hoi anghawk ving ai; Aw Ephraim, nang loe vaihi tangzat zaw kami ah nang coeng boeh; Israel loe amhnong boeh.
3I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
4A sak o ih hmuen pongah nihcae loe angmacae Sithaw khaeah amlaem o thai ai, tangzat zawh koehhaih palungthin to a tawnh o; to pongah Angraeng to panoek o ai.
4Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
5Israel amoekhaih mah a zaehaih to amtuengsak boeh; to pongah Israel hoi Ephraim loe a zae o haih pongah amthaek hoi; Judah doeh nihcae hoi nawnto amthaek toeng.
5But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
6Nihcae mah Angraeng pakrong hanah tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi nawnto caeh o tih, toe nihcae mah Anih to hnu o mak ai; anih mah nihcae to angqoi taak ving tih.
6With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
7Nihcae loe Angraeng khaeah oep kaom ah khosah o ai, to pongah nihcae loe panoek ai ih kami hoiah payang caa to sak o. Vaihiah angmacae ih khrah kangtha poih mah, angmacae hoi a toep o han ih hmuennawk to paaeh pae king tih boeh.
7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
8Gibeach ah tuu takii to ueng oh loe, Ramah ah mongkah to ueng oh! Beth Aven ah tha hoi hang oh, Aw Benjamin, na hnuk bangah khenah.
8Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
9Ephraim loe thuitaekhaih niah caehtaak ving tih; kaom tangtang hmuen to Israel acaengnawk boih khaeah kam tuengsak boeh.
9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
10Judah ukkung angraengnawk loe prae angzithaih thlung la ving kaminawk hoiah anghmong o; to pongah nihcae nuiah palung ka phuihaih tui baktiah ka kraih han.
10The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
11Ephraim loe paek ih lok baktiah caeh pongah, lokcaekhaih niah pacaekthlaek o, anih loe poek amrohaih hoiah oh.
11Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
12To pongah Kai loe Israelnawk hanah lawngkawk baktiah ka oh moe, Judah imthung takoh hanah kaqong hmuen ah ka oh.
12Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13Ephraim mah anih ih nathaih to hnuk moe, Judah mah anih ih ahma to hnuk naah, Ephraim mah Assyria ah caeh moe, siangpahrang, Jareb khaeah tahmen hnik hanah kami to patoeh; toe anih mah ngan na tuisak thai mak ai, na hma doeh hoihsak thai mak ai.
13And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
14Kai loe Ephraim hanah kaipui baktih, Judah imthung takoh hanah kaipui kanawk baktiah ka oh pae han. Nihcae to ka naeh moe, kalah bangah ka caeh ving han; mi mah doeh loisak thaih han ai ah, nihcae to ka lak ving han.
14For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver.
15Nihcae mah a sak o ih zaehaih to taphong o moe, ka mikhmai pakrong o ai karoek to ka ohhaih ahmuen ah ka caehtaak ving han; raihaih a tongh o naah ni nihcae mah kai to palungthin tang hoi pakrong o tih.
15I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
