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

¹Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

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

²The threshing floor and the winepress won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail her.

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

³They won’t dwell in Yahweh’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food 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 won’t pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.

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

⁵What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?

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, behold, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.

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 have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

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

⁸A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility 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. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for 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 first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which 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 will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no 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 I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, 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.

¹³I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.

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

¹⁴Give them—Yahweh what will you 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.

¹⁵“All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.

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 struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones 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 listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
