< Hosea 6 >

1 Hungun, Pakai henga kilekit tauhite. Aman ahal hallin eimal teldeh jongleu, tua hi ei-damsah kitdiu ahitai. Aman eimavou ahitan, tua hi imaha hou eitompeh dingu ahitai.
“Come on! Let's go back to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but now he will heal us. He has struck us down, but now he will bind up our wounds.
2 Chomlou kahin ei-kiledohsah kituvin tin, chuteng eiho ama umna-a iumdiu ahi.
In two days he will heal us; after three days he will raise us up so we can live in his presence.
3 Chuteng eihon Pakai ihetdiu ahitai! Kihetthemu hitin, Pakai chu hettei tei ding gouhite. Ahung kumlhah ding teng eihetsah tei nauvinte. Ahiloule leiset chapkotna pangji khalgo banga hung Lenglha jeng ding ahi, tia asei dingu ahi.”
Let's get to know the Lord, really strive to know him, and he will appear to us as surely as the sun will rise; he will come to us as certainly as the spring rains fall on the earth.”
4 “O Israel le Juda, Ipi kabolpeh ding nahim?” tin Pakaiyin adonge. “Nangin nei ngailut nahi jingkah meibol bep ahin, nisan asahgot loi jeng daitwi bep ahibouve.
Ephraim, what shall I do with you? Judah, what shall I do with you? Your love disappears like mist at dawn; it vanishes like dew in the morning.
5 Ka themgao ho nasatan tan din kasolin, Kakamsung thuseiya kona thatgam din kasol’e. Kathutan khovah banga kikhodoh tothon kasol’e.
So I cut you down through the prophets; I killed you with my words. My judgment shines out like a light.
6 Keiman kithoina sangin nei ngailutdiu kadeijon, Pumgo thito sanga, Keima neihetdiu kadeijon ahi.
I want your true love, not your sacrifices; I want you to know me, not your burnt offerings.
7 Ahinlah Adam bangin, kakitepna nasukehun, katahsan nasubei uve.
But you, just like Adam, broke our agreement, there you were unfaithful to me.
8 Gilead jong hi michonseho khopi ahin, Thisan sote kengto ngapna ahibouve.
Gilead is a city of evil people where footprints are tracked in blood.
9 Michom hon mihem achanlhih banguvin, Thempuho jong ahon hon in akikhomuvin, Shechem jotna lampia mi athatuvin hitobang-tahin chonset thil jeng abolluvin ahi.
Priests are like a gang of bandits, lying in wait to ambush travelers on the road. They commit murder in Shechem, carrying out wicked crimes.
10 Keiman Israel le Ephraim insunga tijat umtah thil khat kamudoh’e, Kamite noti in apangun, gamchom mite indoi hou nan akisaboiuve.
I have seen in the house of Israel something totally disgusting: Ephraim engages in prostitution and Israel is sexually corrupt.
11 Kami Israel themmona le doumah abolnao hi keiman hamphatnaa athahbeh-a semphat ding gojongleng; O Judah nang dingin jong chang atding tepsa a kikoi ahitai.
And as for you, Judah, your harvest-time has been set! When I restore the fortunes of my people,
