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.
In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
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.
For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
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
He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
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.
What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
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.
Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
6 Thuengnae hlak lungmanae, hmaisawi thuengnae hlak Cathut hoi kâpanuenae hah ka ngai.
For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Ahnimouh teh, Adam patetlah lawkkam a tapoe awh toe. A o awhnae koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah na o sin awh toe.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
8 Gilead khopui teh kahawihoeh hno ka saknaw e hmuen lah ao teh, tami thi kapalawngnaw e khokhnuk tungkâtue.
Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
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 those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.
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.
I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
11 Hothloilah, Oe Judahnaw, man lah kaawm e ka taminaw bout ka thokhai toteh, nang hanlah canganae tueng khoe lah ao.
But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
