¹Nou Israel suante, TOUPA thu ja uh: gamsungathutak a om louha, Pathian theihna leng a om louh jiakin, gama tengte TOUPAn lah a kinakpih ngala.

¹Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

²Kichiam leh ginna hihsiat, thath, gultat, leh angkawm hih chih ngallouh bangmah a om kei hi; a kitung khia ua, sisan a kisuah jialjial uh.

²By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

³Huaijiakin, gam tuh a dah dinga, a sunga teng mi chih, gama sate leh vana tungleng vasate toh a se huthut ding uh; ahi, tuipi ngasate leng lak mangin a om ding uh.

³Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

⁴Hinapiin lah kuamahin sual dah henla, kuamahin sal dah heh; na mite lah siampi kisualpihte bang ahi ngal ua.

⁴Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

⁵Huan sunin na kisui dinga, janin nang toh jawlnei leng a kisui ding; huchiin na nu ka hihse ding hi.

⁵Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

⁶Theihna neihlouh jiakin ka mite hihsiatin a om ua; theihna na deih louh jiakin, ken leng, kei dia siampu na hih louhna dingin ka hon sam kei ding; Na Pathian dan na mangngilhta chih theiin, ken leng na suante ka mangngilh ding.

⁶My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

⁷A hongpun bang jel un, ka tungah thil a hihkhial uhi; a thupina uh zumnain ka khek ding.

⁷As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

⁸Ka mite khelhna kivakna din a nei ua, a thulimlouhna uah a lungtang uh a koih kip uh.

⁸They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

⁹Huan mite bang, siampu bang, ahi ding; a tatdante u jiakin amau ka gawt ding, a hihte uh kipahman ka pe ding.

⁹And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

¹⁰Huan a ne ding ua, a kham kei ding uh; a kijuak ding ua, a pung kei ding uh; TOUPA lama pilvang dia a awlmoh louh jiak un.

¹⁰For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

¹¹Kijuakna leh uain leh thakin theihtheihna a lamang hi.

¹¹Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

¹²Ka miten a milimte uh thu a dong ua, a kiang uah a aisan un thu a genkhia hi; angkawmna khain amaute a takhial sakin, a Pathian uh nuaia kipan angkawmin a omta ngal ua.

¹²My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

¹³Mualte vumte tungah a kithoih ua, tangte tung leh, toso singte leh hiang singte leh naineisingte nuaiah, huaia lim a hoih jiakin, gimlim a hal uh; huaijiakin na tanute un kijuakna a hih ua, na moute un kijuakna a hih ua; na moute un angkawmna a hih uh.

¹³They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

¹⁴Na tanute un kijuaknaa bawl chiang un ka gawt kei dinga, na moute un angkawmna a hih chiang un leng; amah leh amau kijuakna a pai jak ua, kijuakte kiangah a kithoih uh; huchiin theithei lou mite vuallelin a om ding uh.

¹⁴I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

¹⁵Nang, Israelin, kijuakna hih mahle teh, Juda ahihleh moh kei hen, Gilgal ah hongpai kei unla, Bethaven ah leng hoh tou sam kei un, TOUPA a hing bangin, chiin, kichiam kei un.

¹⁵Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

¹⁶Bawngla genhak bangin, Israel lah genhaktakin a kibawlta ngala; mun jaa belam nou bangin tuin TOUPAN amaute a vak ding hi.

¹⁶For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

¹⁷Ephraim milimte toh a kizoma; a omomin om heh.

¹⁷Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

¹⁸A dawn uh a khan ua, kijuakin a om gige uh; thupina sangin zumhuaina a it tuntun uh.Huihin a khate ah amah a tunta; a kithoihna jiak un a zum ding uhi.

¹⁸Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

¹⁹Huihin a khate ah amah a tunta; a kithoihna jiak un a zum ding uhi.

¹⁹The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
