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 go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
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 give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
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.
And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering 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.
O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
5 Te dongah amih te tonghma neh ka dae tih ka ka dongkah ol neh ka ngawn. Nangmih kah laitloeknah hmaivang tah thoeng coeng.
So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6 Sitlohnah he ka ngaih tih hmueih moenih. Pathen mingnah he, hmueihhlutnah lakah ka ngaih.
Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
7 Tedae amih loh Adam bangla paipi a poe uh tih ka taengah hnap hnukpoh uh.
But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
8 Gilead he boethae aka saii rhoek kah khorha la om tih, thii kah a ngo om.
Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with 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.
And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
10 Israel imkhui ah rhih-om, rhih-om ka hmuh tih Ephraim kah pumyoihnah loh Israel te pahoi a poeih.
In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
11 Judah khaw ka pilnam thongtla te ka mael puei vaengah nang kah cangah tue a khueh coeng.
And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
