Hosea 14
1 Israel aw, na Pathen Yahweh taengla mael laeh. Namah kathaesainah dongah ni na paloe coeng.
Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
2 Ol te namah taengla lo lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael laeh. Amah te, “Thaesainah cungkuem he na phueih dongah hnothen he doe lamtah ka hmuilai vaito te neh kan thuung mai eh.
Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that you may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that you may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
3 Assyria loh kaimih n'khang moenih, marhang dongah ka ngol uh mahpawh. Namah ah cadah a haidam dongah kaimih kut kah bibi taengah kaimih kah Pathen koep ka ti uh mahpawh,” ti uh.
Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in you shall pity the orphan.
4 Amih hnukpoh te ka hoeih sak vetih amih te kothoh neh ka lungnah ni. Ka thintoek he anih lamloh mael coeng.
I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
5 Israel taengah buemtui la ka om vetih tuilipai bangla pailum ni. Lebanon bangla a yung a pael ni.
I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
6 A dawn yam vetih a mueithennah te olive bangla om ni. A bo khaw Lebanon bangla ul ni.
His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
7 Mael uh vetih a hlipkhup kah khosa rhoek tah cangpai neh hing uh ni. Misur bangla saitlim vetih anih poekkoepnah te Lebanon misurtui bangla om ni.
They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
8 Ephraim, muei te kai hamla balam voel nim? Kai ka doo vetih anih ka mae ni. Kai tah hmaical hing banghui ni. Na thaih te kai lamloh tueng coeng.
What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is your fruit found.
9 Unim aka cueih tih he he a yakming lah ve? A yakming daengah ni BOEIPA kah a thuem longpuei te a ming eh. Aka dueng rhoek te a khuiah pongpa uh dae boekoek rhoek tah a khuiah paloe uh.
Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
