1BOEIPA ol he Israel ca rhoek loh ya saeh. BOEIPA kah tuituknah te diklai khosa taengah om coeng. Oltak tal tih sitlohnah tal coeng. Diklai ah Pathen mingnah khaw tal coeng.
1Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2Tap ham neh basa ham, ngawn ham neh huen hamla, samphaih ham a phae uh tih thii te thii la a kap sak uh.
2Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3Te dongah khohmuen loh nguekcoi tih a khuikah khosa boeih khaw tahah coeng. Diklai mulhing neh vaan kah vaa khaw, tuitunli kah nga khaw khum coeng.
3Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4Tedae hlang loh ho boel saeh lamtah hlang loh tluung boel saeh. Na pilnam khaw khosoih kah a ho bangla om coeng.
4But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
5Khothaih ah na paloe vetih na taengkah tonghma khaw khoyin ah paloe ni. Te vaengah na manu te ka hmata sak ni.
5You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
6Mingnah a tal lamloh ka pilnam hmata uh coeng. Nang loh mingnah na hnawt dongah nang te ka khosoih lamloh kan hnawt. Na Pathen kah olkhueng na hnilh dongah kai long khaw na ca rhoek te ka hnilh ni.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7A pungtai uh bangla kai taengah a tholh dongah amih thangpomnah te yahpohnah neh ka tho pah.
7The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
8Ka pilnam kah boirhaem maeh a caak tih amih kathaesainah dongah a hinglu a phueih uh.
8They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
9Te dongah pilnam bangla khosoih khaw om boeiloeih coeng. Anih te a longpuei ka cawh vetih a khoboe bangla amah te ka thuung ni.
9And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
10BOEIPA te hnawt hamla a dawn uh dongah ca uh cakhaw uh hah uh mahpawh. Cukhalh uh cakhaw pungtai uh mahpawh.
10They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have stopped obeying the LORD.
11Pumyoihnah, misurrhuem neh misur thai loh lungbuei ni a loh.
11Promiscuity, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12Ka pilnam loh a thingngo te a dawt tih a conghol loh anih ham a thui pah. Pumyoihnah mueihla dongah kho a hmang tih a Pathen hnuk lamloh cukhalh uh.
12My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
13Tlang soi ah a nawn uh tih som kah thingnu, khabok neh rhokael hmui he a hlip a then dongah a phum uh. He dongah ni na tanu rhoek loh cukhalh uh tih na langa rhoek khaw a samphaih uh.
13They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14Na tanu te cukhalh uh tih na langa rhoek te a samphaih vaengah ka cawh mahpawt nim? Amih te pumyoi rhoek neh pam uh tih hlanghalh rhoek taengah a nawn uh. Tedae pilnam khaw a yakming pawt dongah caehdoelh ni.
14I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
15Israel nang na cukhalh akhaw Judah te boe pawt lah mako. Gilgal te paan boel lamtah Bethaven la cet boeh. BOEIPA kah hingnah te toemngam uh boeh.
15Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
16Israel kah thinthah, thinthah rhoe mah vaito banghui pawni. Amih te BOEIPA loh tuca bangla a hoengpoeknah ah a luem sak coeng dae ta.
16For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
17Muei aka sun Ephraim aw anih te toeng laeh.
17Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
18A yuhuem te a khok vaengah a cukhalh hmuen la cukhalh uh tih a photling kah yahpohnah te a lung la a lungnah uh.
18When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
19Amah neh a phae te khohli loh a yawn vetih a hmueih dongah yak ni.
19The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
