Hosea 6
1 Halo uh lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael uh sih. Amah loh baeh cakhaw mamih he n'hoeih sak vetih n'ngawn cakhaw mamih kah a hma te a poi ni.
Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.
2 Hnin nit phoeikah a thum hnin ah mamih n'hing sak vetih a mikhmuh ah hing sak hamla mamih n'thoh ni.
After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 Te dongah ming uh sih lamtah BOEIPA te ming hamla hloem uh sih. A thoengnah te mincang bangla cikngae vetih diklai tlankhol a bo bangla mamih ham khonal la ha thoeng ni.
So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
4 Ephraim nang taengah balae ka saii eh? Judah nang taengah balae ka saii eh? Nangmih sitlohnah he mincang cingmai bangla, thoh hang neh aka khum buemtui bangla om.
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
5 Te dongah amih te tonghma neh ka dae tih ka ka dongkah ol neh ka ngawn. Nangmih kah laitloeknah hmaivang tah thoeng coeng.
Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
6 Sitlohnah he ka ngaih tih hmueih moenih. Pathen mingnah he, hmueihhlutnah lakah ka ngaih.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 Tedae amih loh Adam bangla paipi a poe uh tih ka taengah hnap hnukpoh uh.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.
8 Gilead he boethae aka saii rhoek kah khorha la om tih, thii kah a ngo om.
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.
9 Caem loh hlang a rhingda bangla khosoih rhoek kah hloih loh longpuei kah te Shekhem duela a ngawn uh tih khonuen rhamtat la a saii uh.
Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.
10 Israel imkhui ah rhih-om, rhih-om ka hmuh tih Ephraim kah pumyoihnah loh Israel te pahoi a poeih.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
11 Judah khaw ka pilnam thongtla te ka mael puei vaengah nang kah cangah tue a khueh coeng.
Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.
