< Hosea 14 >

1 Kilekitin O Israel, na Pakai na Pathen hengah. Ajeh chu nathemmona jeh'a lhu nahitai.
Return, O Israel, even unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast stumbled through thy iniquity.
2 Nasuhkhel ho chu ponlang Pakai henga kilekittan. Akoma seiyin “Kachonsetna jouse neingaidamin, hepitah in nei lalut in. Chutengleh keihon, nangma kachoisang dingu ahi.
Take with you swords, and return to the Lord: say unto him, “Pardon all [our] iniquity, and accept [our return to] good; and let us repay the steers [of sacrifice] with [the prayer of] our lips.
3 Assyria in eihuh jou pouve. Keiho jong sakolte chunga toupovinge, Tukalla lhah keihon jong kakhutsoh-u milim doi jah ah ‘ka Pathen’ katikit louhel dingu ahi. Nachunga hin nulou palouten hepina akimujin ahiye” tiuvin.
Asshur shall not help us; upon horses will we not ride: and we will no more say, Ye are our gods, to the work of our hands; for in thee alone the fatherless obtaineth mercy.”
4 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Tahsan um nahijeha kadamsah ding nahiye, Kangailutnan gamgi aneipoi, Kalunghan najouse aimatihchana dingin mangtahen.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 Keima Israel a ding hitange, Vanna kon-a hunglha daitwi chimset tobang hinge. Israel chu Lily pah tobang hiding ahi, ajung jong leipha laiya thuh taha keh hihen, Lebonan lhanga Cedar tobang hin.
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall bloom as the lily; and he shall strike his roots as [the forests of] Lebanon.
6 Abah lha jong olive thing bangin, namtwi sellin Lebonan-a Cedar phung tobang hihen.
His suckers shall spread out, and his beauty shall be as that of the olive-tree, and his smell as that of the Lebanon.
7 Kamite kalim noiya umkit ding ahi.
They shall return that sat under his shade; they shall revive as corn, and bloom as the vine: the scent of which shall be as that of the wine of Lebanon.
8 O Israel, milim doi a konin gamlauvin! Keima nataonau donbutpa chu kahi chule navengtup pao chu kahi. Keima thingphung dumjing jeng chu kahi. Nathingga jouse chu keija kon ahiye.”
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will observe him; I will be [to him] like a green fir-tree; through me is thy fruit found.
9 Jite jousen hitihohi hethemuhen, Thil hetkhenna nei jousen phatechan ngaijuvin. Pakai lampi chu adihin chule ajange, Chule midih ho jouse amatoh umkhom ding ahiuve. Ahilah Michonse ho kiseplhuva kijam dan ding ahiuve.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may know them? for righteous are the ways of the Lord; and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors will stumble through them.
