Hosi 14
1 Oe, Isarel, nang teh nama e yonnae kecu dawk hoi na rawk toung dawkvah, Jehovah Cathut koe bout ban leih.
Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
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 return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed 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.
Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds 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 waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
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 like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
6 A kangnaw teh naw awh vaiteh, olivekung patetlah khet ahawi han. Lebanon mon patetlah a hmuitui han.
His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like 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.
Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like 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, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is 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, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
