¹Nuamsain kipak hen, aw Israel, mite bangin; Pathian akipanin kijuakin na omkhinta ngala, phual tung tengah goihman na itta hi.

¹Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

²Phual leh uain suknaten amau a vak kei dinga, uain thakin amah a juausan ding.

²The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

³TOUPA gamah a teng kei ding ua; himahleh Ephraim Aigupta ah a kik ding, Assuria ah an sianglou a ne ding uh.

³They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

⁴TOUPA kiangah uain thillatte a sungkhe kei ding ua, amaha dingin lungkimhuai ahi sam kei ding uh: a kithoihnate uh amaua dingin sungmite tnaghou bang ahi ding; huai ne tengteng hihnitin a om ding uh: a tanghou uh lah a gilkialna uh ading ahi ngala; TOUPA in sungah a hongpai kei ding hi.

⁴They shall not offer 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 for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

⁵Kikhawmpi chik niin bang na hih ding ua, TOUPA ankuang lui niin?

⁵What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

⁶Ngai un, Assuria ah a pai ding uh; Aiguptain amau a khawm ding, Memphisin amau a vui ding. Dang kaa bawl a gou manphate uh lahouin a nei ding; a puaninte uah lingte a om ding.

⁶For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

⁷Vehna nite a hongtung, thukna nite a hongtung; Israelin a thei ding hi jawlnei mi hai ahi, kha nei mi hai ahi, na thuginatlouhna a tam mahmah jiakin, leh muhdahna a thupi jiakin.

⁷The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

⁸Ephraim Pathian galvilmi ahi; jawlnei tungtang a hihleh a lampi tengtengah thangkampa thang a oma, a Pathian in ah muhdahna.

⁸The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

⁹Gibeah nitea bangin, nakpiin amau leh amau a kihihsia ua: a thulimlouhna uh a theigige dinga, a khelh nate uh a kan ding hi.

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

¹⁰Gamdaia grepte bangin Israel ka mua; theipi kung a hun masapenlaia min masa bangin na pipute uh ka muta; himahleh Baal-peor ah a hong ua, thil zumhuai lamah a kipumpiak ua, a thil it uh bang in kihhuai a honghita uh.

¹⁰I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

¹¹Ephraim a hihleh, vasa bangin a thupina uh a leng mang ding: pianna a om kei dinga, kuamah nau toh, naupaina toh.

¹¹As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

¹²A tate uh khoi lian mahle uh, amau ka tansak dinga, pichinga hawi a om kei ding: ahi, amau akipana ka pai khiakna dingte tung leng a gik hi:

¹²Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

¹³Ephraim, Tura ka muhsa bangin, mun nuama phuhin a om: himahleh Ephraimin a tate thatmi kiangah a honpi khe ding.

¹³Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

¹⁴Aw TOUPA amau piain; bang na pe dia? sul naupai theilou leh nawi kang.

¹⁴Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

¹⁵A gitlouhna tengteng uh Gilgal ah a om; huailaiah amau ka mudahta ngala; a thilhihte uh gitlouh jiakin ka in akipan amau ka delh khe ding: Ka it nawn kei dinga; a lalte tengteng uh mihel ahi uh.

¹⁵All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

¹⁶Ephraim satin a om, a zung uh a keu, gah a suang kei ding uh; a jhi, suang mahleh uh, a sul gah it uh ka that himhim ding.Ka Pathianin amau a pai mang-dinga, amah a ngaihkhiak louh jiak uh; huchiin namte lakah vakvaiin a om ding uh.

¹⁶Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

¹⁷Ka Pathianin amau a pai mang-dinga, amah a ngaihkhiak louh jiak uh; huchiin namte lakah vakvaiin a om ding uh.

¹⁷My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
