Hosi 6
1 Tho awh, Cathut koe ban awh sei. Bawipa ni vekrasen lah na kei teh na phi ei, bout na dam sak han. Na hem eiteh, bout na sat han.
Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
2 Hnin hni touh a loum hnukkhu na hring sak teh, hnin thum hnin vah, na thaw sak han. Hatdawkvah, ama koe maimouh teh hring awh han. Lungangnae hai tawn awh han.
After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
3 Cathut panue nahanlah a tawng awh han. A tâconae tueng teh amom patetlah ao. Kho ka rak e patetlah kho ahnoung e kho ka rak e patetlah talai duk sak hanlah a tho han
And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
4 Oe Ephraim, nang dawk bangmaw ka sak han. Oe Judah, nang dawk bangmaw ka sak han. Nangmae yuemkamcunae teh, amom e tâmai hoi, palang kahmat e tadamtui patetlah ao.
O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
5 Hatdawkvah, ahnimanaw hah profetnaw hno lahoi kai ni patpat ka bouk toe. Ka lawk tâcawt e lahoi ka thei toe. Lawkcengnae hai angnae patetlah ao toe.
So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6 Thuengnae hlak lungmanae, hmaisawi thuengnae hlak Cathut hoi kâpanuenae hah ka ngai.
Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
7 Ahnimouh teh, Adam patetlah lawkkam a tapoe awh toe. A o awhnae koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah na o sin awh toe.
But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
8 Gilead khopui teh kahawihoeh hno ka saknaw e hmuen lah ao teh, tami thi kapalawngnaw e khokhnuk tungkâtue.
Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
9 Dingcanaw ni kahlong kacetnaw a pawp awh e patetlah vaihmanaw ni Shekhem lah ceinae lam dawk patenghai tami a thei awh toe.
And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
10 Atangcalah, kahawihoeh hno a sak awh. Isarelnaw koe taki ka tho e hno ka hmu toe. Ephraimnaw a tak a kâyo teh, Isarel teh a khin.
In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
11 Hothloilah, Oe Judahnaw, man lah kaawm e ka taminaw bout ka thokhai toteh, nang hanlah canganae tueng khoe lah ao.
And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
