Hosea 9
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Rejoice not, O Israel, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy God, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
1Aw Israel anghoe hmah; minawk kalah baktiah anghoe hmah. Nang loe na Sithaw koeh ai ih tangzat zaw kami khaeah na caeh. Cang atithaih ahmuen kruekah tangzat to na zawh, tangzat zawhhaih phoisa hoiah poek na nawm.
2The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
2Cang atithaih hoi misurtui pasawhhaih mah nihcae to pacah mak ai, misurtui kangtha mah anih to amtimsak tih.
3They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
3Nihcae loe Angraeng prae thungah om o mak ai, toe Ephraim loe Izip prae ah amlaem let ueloe, Assyria prae ah ciimcai ai buhnawk to caa tih.
4They shall not pour out wine-offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto Him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners, all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite, it shall not come into the house of the LORD.
4Angraeng khaeah misurtui to paek o mak ai, anih loe nihcae mah paek ih hmuen hoiah palung anghoe mak ai. To tiah a sak o ih hmuen loe nihcae han palungsae kaminawk ih takaw baktiah ni om tih; to buh kacaa kaminawk loe amhnong o boih tih. Nihcae ih takaw loe angmacae hing haih ah om tih, Angraeng imthung ah angzo haih mak ai.
5What will ye do in the day of the appointed season, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
5Angraeng ih poih ni hoi atue khaehhaih niah timaw na sak o han?
6For, lo, they are gone away from destruction, yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their precious treasures of silver, nettles shall possess them, thorns shall be in their tents.
6Khenah, nihcae loih o langlacadoeh, Izip kaminawk mah nihcae to naeh o let tih; Memphis mah nihcae to aphum tih. A tawnh o ih atho kana sum kanglung loe phroh thungah anghma ueloe, nihcae ih im doeh soekhring mah khuk khoep tih.
7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come, Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad! For the multitude of thine iniquity, the enmity is great.
7Danpaekhaih ni loe angzoh boeh; atho pathokhaih ni loe zoi daek boeh. To hmuen to Israel mah panoek tih: pop parai na zaehaih hoi pop parai kalen hnukmahaih to na tawnh o pongah, tahmaa loe amthu moe, muithla hmuen paekhaih tawn kami doeh palungha ai, tiah na thuih o.
8Ephraim is a watchman with my God; as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
8Ephraim khenzawnkung loe Sithaw mah ni patoeh; toe tahmaa loe a caehhaih loklam ah thaang mah pakaa moe, angmah Sithaw imthung ah hnukmahaih to oh.
9They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.
9Gibeah dung ih kaminawk baktiah, nihcae loe kating ai ah amro o boeh. Toe anih mah nihcae zaehaih to panoek pae ueloe, a zae o haih baktih toengah danpaek tih.
10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first season; but so soon as they came to Baal-peor, they separated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became detestable like that which they loved.
10Israel loe praezaek ih misurthaih baktiah ka hnuk; nangcae ampanawk doeh athai tangsuek thaiduet thaih baktiah ka hnuk. Toe nihcae loe Baal Poer khaeah caeh o moe, angmacae hoi angmacae to ang paek o pongah, azathaih a tong o; a koeh o ih hmuen baktiah panuet kaom ah khosak o.
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird; there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
11Ephraim lensawkhaih loe tavaa baktiah azawk ving tih boeh; nang loe nawkta tapenhaih hoi zokpomhaih om mak ai boeh.
12Yea, though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
12Nihcae mah nawkta sah o langlacadoeh, nihcae to palung ka setsak han, anghmat kami om ai ah ka lak pae boih han: ue, ka caehtaak naah loe nihcae khosak bing o tih!
13Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
13Ephraim loe ahmuen kahoih ah thling ih, Tura baktiah ka hnuk boeh; toe Ephraim loe kami humnawk khaeah a caanawk to caeh haih tih.
14Give them, O LORD, whatsoever Thou wilt give; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
14Aw Angraeng, nihcae hanah tih maw na paek han? Caa amrohaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe tahnutui kaanghaih maw to paek ah!
15All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, all their princes are rebellious.
15Gilgal ah kahoih ai hmuen to a sak o pongah, nihcae to ka hnukma. Kasae hmuen a sak o pongah, nihcae to ka imthung hoiah ka haek han; nihcae nuiah amlunghaih ka tawn mak ai boeh. Nihcae ukkung angraengnawk loe misa angthawk kami ah oh o boih boeh.
16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
16Ephraim loe mitong boeh, tangzunnawk doeh zaek boih boeh; athaih doeh athai mak ai boeh: ue, nihcae mah ca sah o mangh cadoeh, a kawt o huek ih a caanawk to ka hum pae ving han.
17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
17Nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok tahngai o ai pongah, kai ih Sithaw mah nihcae to takhoe ving tih; to naah nihcae loe prae kaminawk salakah avak rumram kami ah om o tih.
