1 Oe, Isarel, nang teh nama e yonnae kecu dawk hoi na rawk toung dawkvah, Jehovah Cathut koe bout ban leih.
“Turn back, O Israel, to your God YHWH, For you have stumbled by your iniquity.
2 Lawk sin laihoi Cathut koe ban nateh, ahni koe kai dawk kaawm e yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw. Bout na dâw haw. Ka pahni dawk hoi thuengnae hah ka sak awh han.
Take words with you, and turn to YHWH, Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we render the fruit of our lips.
3 Assiria ni kaimouh na rungngang mahoeh. Kaimouh teh marang ransa lah kaawm a mahoeh toe. Meikaphawknaw koe, nangmouh teh kaimae Cathut doeh bout ka tet awh mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nara ni nang koe lungmanae ouk a coe, telah dei awh.
Asshur does not save us, we do not ride on a horse, Nor do we say anymore, Our god, to the work of our hands, For in You the fatherless find mercy.
4 Ka lungkhueknae roum vaiteh, hnam na thun takhai e heh ka dam sak han, aphu laipalah ka lungpataw han.
I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For My anger has turned back from him.
5 Kai ni tadamtui patetlah Isarel lathueng ka o pouh han. Ahnimouh teh lili pei patetlah a kamhlawng awh vaiteh, Lebanon mon e thingnaw patetlah a khawngyang a pabo awh han.
I am as dew to Israel, he flourishes as a lily, And he strikes forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 A kangnaw teh naw awh vaiteh, olivekung patetlah khet ahawi han. Lebanon mon patetlah a hmuitui han.
His shoots go on, And his splendor is as an olive, And he has fragrance as Lebanon.
7 Taminaw ni hote thing tâhlip dawk kho bout a sak awh han. Ahni teh cang patetlah a roung han, misur patetlah a roung han. Lebanon misurtui patetlah a min kamthang han.
The dwellers return under his shadow, They revive [as] grain, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim ni kai teh, meikaphawk hoi bangmouh kâkuetnae kaawm ati han. Ahnie lawk ka thai pouh vaiteh, ka khetyawt han. Kahringsuep e hmaicakung patetlah ka o teh, nang teh kaie lungmanae dawk a paw hoi na kawi han.
O Ephraim, what have I anymore to do with idols? I have answered, and I look after him: I [am] as a green fir-tree, Your fruit is found from Me.
9 Apimouh a lungkaang. Ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a thai panuek han doeh. Apimouh kho ka pouk thai, ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a panue han. Cathut e lamthung teh a lan. Tami kalannaw ni a dawn awh han. Tami kahawihoehe naw teh, hote lamthung dawk kamthui vaiteh a tâlaw awh han.
Who [is] wise, and understands these? Prudent, and knows them? For upright are the ways of YHWH, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!”
