Hosi 1
1 Judah siangpahrang Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah tinaw a bawi nah, Joash capa, Jeroboam ni Isarel siangpahrang a tawk nah Beeri capa Hosi koe ka tho e Cathut lawk teh,
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 Nang ni cet nateh atak kâyawt e napui hoi a canaw hah na yu lah lat haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khocanaw ni Cathut a pahnawt awh teh boutbout a payon awh toe telah Hosi koe Cathut ni atipouh.
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 Hosi ni Cathut ni a dei e patetlah a cei teh, Debalaim canu, Gomer hah a yu lah a la. A yu ni camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 Hatnavah Cathut ni Hosi koe, hete camo e min teh Jezreel phung loe atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh a ro hoehnahlan Jezreel theinae phu teh Jehu imthung koe moi ka pathung vaiteh, Isarel ram a uknaeram tueng ka baw sak pouh awh han.
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 Hahoi, Jezreel yawn dawk Isarel ransanaw e thaonae teh ka raphoe han telah a ti.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 Gomer ni camo apâhni lah bout a vawn teh napui a khe. Bawipa ni min teh Loruhamah phung loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw teh ka pahren mahoeh toe, ka takhoe han toe.
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 Hatei, Kai ni Judahnaw teh ka pahren han. Ahnimae BAWIPA Cathut Kai ni ka rungngang han. Ka rungngang nah taran tuknae senehmaica, lilava, pala, tahloi, marangnaw, hoi marangransanaw ka hno mahoeh a ti.
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 Gomer ni a canu hah sanu a pâphei hnukkhu, camo bout a vawn teh, ca tongpa a khe.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 Cathut ni Hosi koe, a min teh Loammi phung loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh, kaie tami nahoeh, kai hai nangmae Cathut nahoeh atipouh.
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 Isarelnaw teh palang sadi patetlah apung awh han. Bangnue thai hoeh e hoi touk thai hoeh e lah ao han. Atuvah, Cathut ni Isarelnaw teh ka tami nahoeh ati. Hatei, nangmouh teh kahring Cathut e canaw lah na o awh tie hnin ka phat han.
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 Judahnaw hoi Isarelnaw ni bout a kamkhueng awh han. Amamouh hanlah siangpahrang buet touh a rawi awh vaiteh, hete ram dawk hoi a tâco awh han. Jezreel se teh a lentoe han telah a ti.
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
