< Hosea 1 >

1 Judah siangpahrang, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezzekiah hoi Israel siangpahrang, Joash capa Jeroboam siangpahrang ah oh nathuem ah, Beeri capa Hosea khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Hoses, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 Hosea patohhaih rang hoiah Angraeng mah lokthuih naah, Angraeng mah Hosea khaeah, Caeh ah loe, tangzat zaw kami hoi tangzat zaw kami ih caanawk to zu ah la ah, prae mah tangzat zaw kami hoiah zaehaih sak boeh pongah, Angraeng khae hoi amkhraeng o boeh, tiah a naa.
The beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea. Jehovah said to Hosea: Go, and take thee a wife of lewdness, and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness; it is false to Jehovah.
3 To pongah anih loe caeh moe, Diblaim canu Gomer to zu ah a lak; a zu loe loe zokpom moe, anih hanah capa to sak pae.
So he went, and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 To naah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, anih ih ahmin to Jezreel, tiah sah ah; Jezreel ah kami athii palonghaih oh pongah, Jehu ih imthung takoh nuiah akra ai ah lu ka lak moe, Israel siangpahrang ukhaih prae to ka boengsak han.
And Jehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will bring the kingdom of the house of Israel to an end.
5 To na niah loe Jezreel ih azawn ah Israel ih kalii to ka khaeh pae han, tiah a naa.
Yea, in that day will I break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
6 Anih loe zokpom let moe, canu maeto sak. To naah Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Israel imthung takoh nuiah palungnathaih ka tawn mak ai, nihcae to ka lak ving han boeh, to pongah ahmin ah Lo-Ruhamah, tiah sah ah, tiah a naa.
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Unpitied; for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel, but will surely take them away.
7 Toe Judah imthung takoh nuiah loe palungnathaih kam tuengsak han, nihcae loe kalii, sumsen, misa angtukhaih, hrangnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk mah pahlong mak ai, angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw mah ni pahlong tih, tiah a naa.
But upon the house of Judah will I have pity, and will save them by Jehovah their God; I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Lo-Ruhamah tahnu amphi pacoengah, anih loe zokpom moe, capa maeto sak let.
Then she weaned her daughter Unpitied, and conceived, and bore a son.
9 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Nangcae loe kai ih kami ah na om o ai, kai doeh nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka om mak ai boeh, to pongah anih ih ahmin to Lo-Ammi, tiah sah ah, tiah a naa.
And God said, Call his name Not-my-people. For ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
10 Toe Israel caanawk loe tuipui ih savuet baktiah, tah thai mak ai ueloe, kroek doeh kroek thai mak ai. Vaihi nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe kai ih kami na ai ni, tiah kawk o e, nangcae loe kahing Sithaw ih capa ni, tiah kawk o tih.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured, or numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall it be said to them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Judah caanawk hoi Israel caanawk loe nawnto amkhueng o ueloe, nihcae zaehoikung kami maeto qoi o tih; nihcae prae thung hoi angthawk o naah loe, Jezreel hanah kalen parai niah om tih, tiah thuih.
Then shall the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel be gathered together, and shall appoint to themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land. For great shall be the day of Jezreel.
