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 affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will strike, and bind us up.
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 heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [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
let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to 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.
What shall I do to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes 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.
Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
6 Thuengnae hlak lungmanae, hmaisawi thuengnae hlak Cathut hoi kâpanuenae hah ka ngai.
For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.
7 Ahnimouh teh, Adam patetlah lawkkam a tapoe awh toe. A o awhnae koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah na o sin awh toe.
But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
8 Gilead khopui teh kahawihoeh hno ka saknaw e hmuen lah ao teh, tami thi kapalawngnaw e khokhnuk tungkâtue.
there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
9 Dingcanaw ni kahlong kacetnaw a pawp awh e patetlah vaihmanaw ni Shekhem lah ceinae lam dawk patenghai tami a thei awh toe.
And your strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
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] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
11 Hothloilah, Oe Judahnaw, man lah kaawm e ka taminaw bout ka thokhai toteh, nang hanlah canganae tueng khoe lah ao.
begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
