Hosea 1
1 Pakaiyin hiche thuhi Beeri chapa Hosea anapeh ahi. Hiche hi Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, chule Hezekiah ho Judah lenga anapanlaiyu chule Jehoash chapa Jeroboam Israelte lenga anapanlai ahi.
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 Hiche hi amasatah-a Pakaiyin Israel mite koma Hosea anamanchaha thu anasei pat chu ahi. “Chenlang noti khat kichenpin, chutileh achate phabep khat noti cha-a hungkijil ding ahiuve. Hiche chun Israel chate Pakaija kona akiheimanguva, gamchom mite milim doi ahou-u chun noti chonna achonnao chu avetsah ahi.”
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 Hijeh chun Hosea in Diblaim chanu Gomer akichenpin ahile, chuin ahung gaiyin Hosea dingin chapa khat ahinpeh in ahi.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 Chule Pkaiyin aseiyin, amin “Jezreel nasah ding ahi, ati, ajeh chu keiman phat chomkhat jouleh Jezreel thisan kiso jeh'a Jehu lengpa alenggam talen kamat saha, Israel mite chamlhatna lenggam kasuhbei ding ahitai.
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 Hiche niteng chuleh Jezreel phaichama Israel galhatna kasuhbei ding ahi.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 Gangtah in Gomer in nao ahinvop kitin, chanu khat ahing kit in, chuin Pakaiyin Hosea jaha aseikitin, nachanu hi amin, “Dipdamna-bei, ‘Ngailutna–bei’ (Lo- ruhamah) - ajeh chu keiman Israel mite hi kangailut tah louhel ding ahitai ahiloule kangaidam lou ding ahitai, ati.
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 Ahinla Judah mite chunga kangailutna kavetsah ding, Pakai Pathen thahatna jal'a kahuhdoh ding ahi, galhat mite galmanchah jeh, sakol le sakol kangtalai thahatna jeh hilouva Pakai Pathen thahatna jal'a kajosah ding bou ahi.”
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 Ngailutna beiyin anoichep aban phatin- Gomer in nao ahin vopkit in chapa ani channa ahing kittai.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Amin chu-‘Kamite-hilou’ tin min sahin, ajeh chu Israel mite hi kamite ahitapouve, chule a Pathen-u jong kahitapoi,” ati.
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 Ahivanginla Israel chate twikhanglen panga neldijat le simjou lou hung hitei ding ahiuvin, ajahuva ‘kamite nahitapouve’ Katina laitah a chu “hingjing Pathen chate “Kati ding ahiuve.
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 Hitia chu Judah mite le Israel mite thakhatna hung kikhom kimsoh keijuva, alamkaidiu jong mihem khatseh akilhendiu gamsunga kona kitou tol ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu Jezreel nikho hi loupi ding ahiye.
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
