< Hosea 1 >

1 BOEIPA ol tah Judah manghai rhoek Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tue neh Israel manghai Joash capa Jeroboam tue vaengah Beeri capa Hosea taengla pawk.
A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel:
2 BOEIPA tah Hosea dong lamloh lamhma la cal. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Hosea te, “Cet lamtah pumyoi nu neh pumyoihnah kah camoe rhoek te namah taengla lo laeh. Khohmuen he BOEIPA hnuk lamloh cukhalh rhoe cukhalh,” a ti nah.
The commencement of Jehovah's speaking by Hosea. And Jehovah saith unto Hosea, 'Go, take to thee a woman of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms, for utterly go a-whoring doth the land from after Jehovah.'
3 Te dongah cet tih Diblaim canu Gomer te a loh. Te vaengah vawn tih anih hamla capa pakhat a sak pah.
And he goeth and taketh Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceiveth and beareth to him a son;
4 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te, “A ming te Jezreel sui. Jehu im kah Jezreel thii te ka cawh vetih Israel imkhui kah ram te ka paa sak pawn ni.
and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little, and I have charged the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and have caused to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel;
5 Te khohnin te a pha vaengah tah Israel kah lii te Jezreel kol ah ka khaem pah ni,” a ti.
and it hath come to pass in that day that I have broken the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.'
6 Te phoeiah koep vawn tih canu a sak hatah, “Israel imkhui te koep ka haidam voel pawt vetih amih te ka khuen rhoe ka khuen ham coeng dongah a ming te Loruhamah sui.
And she conceiveth again, and beareth a daughter, and He saith to him, 'Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I add no more to pity the house of Israel, for I do utterly take them away;
7 Tedae Judah imkhui tah ka haidam vetih amih te amamih kah Pathen BOEIPA rhangneh ka khang ni. Te vaengah amih te lii neh, tumca neh, caemtloek neh, marhang neh, marhang caem neh ka khang mahpawh,” a ti nah.
and the house of Judah I pity, and have saved them by Jehovah their God, and do not save them by bow, and by sword, and by battle, by horses, and by horsemen.'
8 Loruhamah te suk a kan phoeiah vawn tih capa a sak.
And she weaneth Lo-Ruhamah, and conceiveth, and beareth a son;
9 Te vaengah, “Nangmih te ka pilnam voel pawt tih kai khaw nangmih hut la ka om voel pawt dongah a ming te Loami sui,” a ti nah.
and He saith, 'Call his name Lo-Ammi, for ye [are] not My people, and I am not for you;
10 Tedae Israel ca hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om ni. Te te loeng lek pawt tih tae lek pawh. Amih te, 'Nangmih te ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah a om sak vetih amih te aka hing Pathen ca rhoek a ti ni.
and the number of the sons of Israel hath been as the sand of the sea, that is not measured nor numbered, and it hath come to pass in the place where it is said to them, Ye [are] not My people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God;
11 Te vaengah Judah ca rhoek neh Israel ca tun tingtun uh ni. Amamih ham boeilu pakhat a khueh uh tih Jezreel khohnin puei ham khohmuen lamloh cet uh ni,” a ti nah.
and gathered have been the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel together, and they have appointed to themselves one head, and have gone up from the land, for great [is] the day of Jezreel.
