Hosea 3

1 Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Kalah sithawnawk khaeah kangqoi ving, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah misurthaih kazaek hoiah sak o ih takaw kakoeh, Israel caanawk khaeah caeh ah loe, Angraeng mah Israel caanawk palung baktih toengah, a tlangai mah palung duek ih, oep kaom ai zaehaih sah nongpata to tlangai ah suem ah, tiah ang naa.

Then said the Lord unto me, Go once more, love a woman beloved of her husband, yet committing adultery; like the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who turn themselves after other gods, and love flagons of wine.

2 To pongah anih to kaimah hanah sum kanglung shekel hatlai pangato, barli cang noekhaih homer maeto pacoeng, ahap hoiah ka qanh:

So I bought me such a one for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a chomer of barley, and half a chomer of barley.

3 to pacoengah kai mah anih khaeah, Nang loe kai taham ah ni na om tih boeh, tangzat zaw hmah lai ah, minawk kalah tlangai doeh tawn hmah laih, kai loe nang hanah ni ka hing toeng han boeh, tiah ka naa.

And I said unto her, Many days shalt thou abide [true] for me: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not belong to any man, and so will I also be toward thee.

4 Israel caanawk loe siangpahrang tawn ai, ukkung angraeng tawn ai, angbawnhaih om ai, sakcop ih krang tawn ai, kahni tawn ai, teraphim doeh om ai ah ni kasawk ah om o tih.

For many days shall the children of Israel abide without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without a standing image, and without an ephod and theraphim.

5 Ani boeng naah, Israel caanawk mah anih hoihhaih to hnuk o moe, angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi angmacae ih siangpahrang, David to pakrong hanah, Angraeng zithaih hoiah amlaem o let tih.

After that will the children of Israel return, and seek for the Lord their God and David their king; and fearing will they hasten to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days,
