< Hosea 2 >
1 Hicheni teng chuleh, nasopipa chu Ami- ‘Kamite’ chule nasopinu chu-Rahamah- ‘Kangailut khat’ nati ding ahi.
Say to your brothers, 'My people!' and to your sisters, 'You have been shown compassion.'”
2 Nahingnu chu dondauvin, Dondauvin hitobang numei hi kaji ahipoi, keijong amadin aji kahipoi, ajon maiput hi kheldohhen, anoiteni kaha ajon na thangnam jong chu sutheng hen.
Bring a lawsuit against your mother, bring a lawsuit, for she is not my wife, and neither am I her husband. Let her put away her prostitution from before herself, and her acts of adultery from between her breasts.
3 Achuti louva ahile keiman avon jouse kahodoh’a akeoseh’a kaum sah ding ahi.
If not, I will strip her naked and show her nakedness as on the day that she was born. I will make her like the wilderness, like a parched land, and I will make her die from thirst.
4 Achate jouse jong kangailut louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu ahung kigil’uva kon’a notia hung kigil ahitauve
I will not have any mercy on her children, for they are children of prostitution.
5 Ahingnu-u jong jachatna neilouva notia kijoh ahin, anaovop’a jong chu jumle ja helouva chon ahi.
For their mother has been a prostitute, and she who conceived them has acted shamefully. She said, “I will go after my lovers, for they give me my bread and water, my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”
6 Amanun aseijin, eingailu midang ho koma lhaitange, kanehding an, kadonding twi eipeho chule kasilding samul le tupat ponnem eipeho koma chetange ati.
Therefore I will build up a hedge to block her way with thorns. I will build up a wall against her so she cannot find her way.
7 Angailu ho kom’a lhai jongle, anungu aphah jou lou ding ahitai, amaho chu holle le jongle mujong amujou lou ding ahitai. Chule amanun jong asei ding, tun chengting kaji masapa henga kilekit tange, ajeh chu tulai kaumchan sangin chulaija kaumchan anomjoi.
She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them. She will seek them, but she will not find them. Then she will say, “I will return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than it is now.”
8 Hiche numeinu hin kana thilpeh ho anei jouse, sana, dangka, lengpiwi thah, olive thao, kathilpeh ho jouse Baal doi apegam tan ahi.
For she had not known that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, and who lavished on her silver and gold, which they then used for Baal.
9 Ahinlah kachang jong a atphat le kakilelah kit ding, lengpi twi thah jouse jong, kakilelah ding ahi. Asagoh keu hupna dinga kanapeh samul ponsil le tupat ponnem jong kanung lah kit ding ahi.
So I will take back her grain at harvest time, and my new wine in its season. I will take back my wool and flax that were used to cover her nakedness.
10 Tua hi akideipi ho mitmu changtaha, ajamo kahodohpeh ding ahi, ahin kakhut’a kona koiman amanu hi eichulhah jou lou ding ahi.
Then I will strip her naked in the sight of her lovers, and no one will rescue her out of my hand.
11 Agolnop kut hihenlang, a lhathah kut hihenlang, akumlhun kut hijongleh kasuhbei ding ahi.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease— her feasts, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals.
12 Alengpi gui jouse kavohsetna, chule atheichang phung jouse jong kavoh heo ding ahi.
“I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, 'These are the wages that my lovers gave me.' I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field will eat them.
13 Baal doi masanga gimnamtwi ahalna ho kasuhset peh’a chule a sana jempah chengsea akivonna, adongma akideipi hotoh kei suhmilna dinga akijepna jeh'a talen kapeh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals, when she burned incense to them, when she adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and she went after her lovers and forgot me— this is Yahweh's declaration.”
14 Ahin keiman hichenu hi kanung jollhah kitna, gamthip noiya kapui mang ding, chule awnem heuva kaki houlimpi ding ahi.
So I am going to win her back. I will bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.
15 Alengpi leiya kahin lepui kitna, Achor phaicham jong kinepna kotpi phung kasosah ding, hikoma chu amanun jong anungah lai banga adonbutna, Egypt gam'a ahung potdoh til banga eidonbut ding ahi.
I will give her back her vineyards, and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope. She will answer me there as she did in the days of her youth, as in the days that she came out of the land of Egypt.
16 Hiche nikho chu ahunglhun nile Pakaiyin aseiye, Ka Pakai tilouva “Kajipa tia neikou ding ahi”.
“It will be in that day—this is Yahweh's declaration— that you will call me, 'My husband,' and you will no longer call me, 'My Baal.'
17 O Israel, namuha kona Baal min tamtah kasuh manga chule naminphah kittahlou ding ahi chule
For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth; their names will not be remembered anymore.”
18 Hiche nikho chule gam'a gamsa jouse le chunga leng vacha jouse toh kitepna khat kasema, thalpi kasuh beija chemjam kalensah lou ding, chuteng nakichat tahlou dingu, cham le lungmonga naimut dingu ahi.
“On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts in the fields, with the birds in the sky, and with the crawling things on the ground. I will drive away the bow, the sword, and the battle from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety.
19 Keiman atonsot’a kajinua kasem ding nahitai, chutengle Chondihna le thutah kavetsah ding nahi.
I will promise to be your husband forever. I will promise to be your husband in righteousness, justice, covenant faithfulness, and mercy.
20 Hitia chu ken kitahna neitah-a jia kanei ding nahin, nangin jong Pakai chu nahetdoh ding ahiye.
I will pledge myself to you in faithfulness, and you will know Yahweh.
21 Hicheni chule, keiman nadonbut inge, Tin Pakaiyin aseiye. “Hiche nikho tengleh keiman van mun ho jouse kahouva thu kasei ding, amahon jong, van mun jousen jong leiset jaha gojuh puma thu asei diu ahi.
On that day, I will answer—this is Yahweh's declaration— I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth.
22 Chuteng leiset in jong awgin puma penga asapma adonbutna, chang, lengpitwi, chule olive thaovin jong adonbut ding, Jezeel jaha thu aseidiu ahi.
The earth will answer the grain, the new wine and the oil, and they will answer Jezreel.
23 Hiche phatteng chule keiman Israel dinga muchi katu ding, keima dinga kakhansah ding. Keiman ‘kangailupoi’ katiho koma ngailutna kavetsah ding, chule kami nahitapouve tia kaseiho koma ‘tun nangho kamite nahitauve’ tia kasei ding ahi. Chule amahon eidonbutnuva, ‘Nangma ka Pathen-u nahi’ eitidiu ahi.
I will plant her for myself in the land, and I will have mercy on Lo-Ruhamah. I will say to Lo-Ammi, 'You are Ammi Attah,' and they will say to me, 'You are my God.'”
