< Hosi 2 >

1 Na hmaunawnghanaw hah ka tami telah thoseh, na tawncanunaw hah ka pahren e ka canu telah thoseh bout ka kaw han.
“Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
2 Na manu teh dei pouh awh. Ahni teh kaie ka yu nahoeh. Kai haiyah ahnie a vâ nahoeh.
Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.
3 Kâyonae minhmai padai laipalah kathoute hno roun naseh. Roun hoehpawiteh, a khenae patetlah caici lah thingyei um pak ka tha han. Tui ni a hak takhai e talai patetlah tui ka pakoung vaiteh ka due sak han.
Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.
4 A canaw haiyah cataca lah ao dawkvah kai ni ka pahren mahoeh.
And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
5 Ahnimae manu teh, kâyawt e doeh. Ahni ka vawn e napui hai yeirai a po toe. Ahni nihaiyah ka bu, ka tui, ka tumuen, ka tangka, ka satui, nei hane tui ouk na ka poe e kapahrennaw hnuk ka kâbang han a ti.
For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Hatdawkvah pâkhing hoi ka kalup han. A tâco thai hoeh nahanlah talung hoi ka tapang sin han.
Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
7 A pahren hah a pâlei ei phat mahoeh. A tawng ei hmawt laipalah ao navah, ka vâ karuem koe doeh bout ka cei han toe ati. Atu e hmuen koe hlak hmaloe e hmuen koe doeh hoe ahawi ati han.
And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is now.’
8 Cang, misur, satuinaw hoi Baal bawknae sui hoi ngun hai moi ka poe eiteh, Kai na pahnim awh.
And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into Baal.
9 Hatdawkvah canga tue nah cakang, misurtui kasu tue nah misurtui, ka poe mahoeh. Kaie tumuen hoi ngun, a caicinae ramuknae hah ka bankhai han.
For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
10 Atu roeroe a pahrennaw koe a khohna e ka rading pouh vaiteh, yeiraipo sak han. Apinihai ka kut dawk hoi hlout sak thai mahoeh.
And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
11 A nawmnae, pawitonae, thaparei hnin, sabbath hnin, tamimaya kamkhueng e pueng ka pout sak han.
And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
12 Het hateh, ka pahren ni na poe e poehno ati e misurnaw, thaibunglungnaw lungpalueng lah ka ta vaiteh, ratu lah ka sak han, hahoi sarangnaw ni a ca awh han.
And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
13 Baal cathutnaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh teh, hnongpacap hoi dingyin a awi awh teh, a pahren hnuk a kâbang awh teh, Kai na pahnim awh dawkvah, Baal cathutnaw e tueng dawk e patetlah moipathung han telah Cathut ni a ti.
And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me,” says the Lord.
14 Hatei, ahni hah bout ka pasawt han. Kahrawng lahoi a ceikhai awh nakunghai, pasawtnae lawk hoi ka dei pouh awh han.
“Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
15 Hote hmuen koe misur takha hai thoseh, Akhor tanghling koe ngaihawinae takhang hai thoseh ka sak pouh han. A camo nah Izip ram hoi a tâconae la a sak awh e patetlah namran lah a pha awh toteh, la a sak awh han.
And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.
16 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hatnae tueng dawk nang ni kai hah Bawipa telah na kaw mahoeh, ka vâ telah na kaw han.
And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
17 Baal e min roeroe heh nangmae pahni dawk hoi takhoe vaiteh, a min hah dei lah rawraw bout dei mahoeh toe.
And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
18 Hatnae tueng dawk Kai ni ahnimouh hanlah, kahrawng e sarang, kalvan e tava, talai dawk e sarangnaw hoi na kâhuiko vaiteh, licung, tahloi, senehmaicanaw, talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han. Lungpuen tâsuenae awm laipalah a i awh han.
And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
19 Nang teh, ka yu lah pou na o han toe. Lannae, kamsoum e, ka kuep e lungmanae hoi nang teh kama hanelah na la han toe.
And I will betroth you to me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion.
20 Ka lawkkam ka tarawi vaiteh na la han, nang ni Cathut na panue han.
And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.
21 Bawipa ni telah ati, hatnae tueng dawk ratoumnae Kai ni na thai pouh han. Kalvan lawk ka thai pouh vai teh, ahni ni talai lawk a thai pouh awh han.
And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth.
22 Talai ni hai cakang, misurtui, satui, naw e lawk a thai vaiteh, ahnimouh ni hai Jezreel e lawk a thai awh han.
And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
23 Hote napui hah cati patetlah talai dawk kama hane ka patue han. Ka pahren hoeh e napui hah ka pahren han. Ka tami hoeh e koe ka tami ka ti pouh han. Ahnimouh ni hai nang teh kaimae Cathut doeh na ti pouh awh. han.
And I will plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
