Hosi 14
1 Oe, Isarel, nang teh nama e yonnae kecu dawk hoi na rawk toung dawkvah, Jehovah Cathut koe bout ban leih.
O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy 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 with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the calves 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.
Ashur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
4 Ka lungkhueknae roum vaiteh, hnam na thun takhai e heh ka dam sak han, aphu laipalah ka lungpataw han.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away 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 will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 A kangnaw teh naw awh vaiteh, olivekung patetlah khet ahawi han. Lebanon mon patetlah a hmuitui han.
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell 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.
They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive [as] the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it [shall be] as the 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.
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard [him], and observed him: I [am] like a green fir-tree. From me is thy fruit found.
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 he shall understand these [things]? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD [are] right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
