Hosea 6
1 Angzo oh, Angraeng khaeah amlaem o si boeh; anih mah aicae ang taprawt pat boeh, toe anih mah aicae ngan na tuisak let tih.
COME, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 Ni hnetto pacoengah, anih mah aicae hingsak let tih; ni thumto naah anih mah aicae to pathawk let tih, to naah aicae loe angmah hmaa ah a hing o tih boeh.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3 Angraeng panoekhaih to patom o si loe, anih to panoek o si. Anih loe akhawnbang ih ni baktiah om tih; kho kangzo baktiah anih loe aicae khaeah angzo tih; anih loe hnukkhuem koek khotui hoi hmaloe koek khotui baktiah long ah angzo tih.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
4 Aw Ephraim nang, kawbang maw kang sak han? Aw Judah nang, kawbang maw kang naa han? Na hoihhaih loe akhawnbang ih tamai baktiah oh moe, akhawnbang ah amzawt king dantui baktiah ni oh.
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
5 To pongah tahmaanawk mah thuih o ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka takroek boeh moe, ka pakha thung ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka hum boeh; na lokcaekhaih to tangphrapuek baktiah kam phasak.
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6 Angbawnhaih ka koeh ai, palungnathaih ni ka koeh; hmai angbawnhaih pongah Sithaw panoekhaih to ka koeh kue.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Toe nihcae loe kami baktiah sak ih lokmaihaih to aek o; nihcae loe kai khaeah oepthok ah khosah o ai.
But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead loe kami kasaenawk ih vangpui ah oh moe, kami thii hoiah amhnong o sak boeh.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
9 Mingcahnawk mah kami angang o duem baktih toengah, qaimanawk doeh Shekem caehhaih loklam ah hum o; tangtang ni nihcae loe panuet thok zaehaih to ni a sak o.
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10 Israel imthung takoh ah zit kaom hmuen to ka hnuk boeh: Ephraim loe tangzat zawhhaih bangah angpaek moe, Israel loe amhnong boeh.
I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 Aw Judah, misong ah ohhaih thung hoiah kaimah ih kaminawk ka loihsak let naah loe, nang han khaeh ih cang aahhaih atue ah doeh oh.
Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
