World English Bible
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.
1“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2Kai mah nihcae to ka thuitaek boih, toe misa angthawk kaminawk loe kami humhaih bangah athum o.
2The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
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 know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. 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 deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know 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.
5The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will 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.
6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.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 are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
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.
8“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
9Ephraim loe thuitaekhaih niah caehtaak ving tih; kaom tangtang hmuen to Israel acaengnawk boih khaeah kam tuengsak boeh.
9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will 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 those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11Ephraim loe paek ih lok baktiah caeh pongah, lokcaekhaih niah pacaekthlaek o, anih loe poek amrohaih hoiah oh.
11Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12To pongah Kai loe Israelnawk hanah lawngkawk baktiah ka oh moe, Judah imthung takoh hanah kaqong hmuen ah ka oh.
12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like 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.
13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will 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 to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one 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, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
