Hosea 14
1 Israel aw, na Pathen Yahweh taengla mael laeh. Namah kathaesainah dongah ni na paloe coeng.
Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
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 these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves 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 will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on 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 heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
5 Israel taengah buemtui la ka om vetih tuilipai bangla pailum ni. Lebanon bangla a yung a pael ni.
I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
6 A dawn yam vetih a mueithennah te olive bangla om ni. A bo khaw Lebanon bangla ul ni.
His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
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 will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
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.
Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
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 this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
