Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to Jehovah, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.
Halo uh lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael uh sih. Amah loh baeh cakhaw mamih he n'hoeih sak vetih n'ngawn cakhaw mamih kah a hma te a poi ni.
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
Hnin nit phoeikah a thum hnin ah mamih n'hing sak vetih a mikhmuh ah hing sak hamla mamih n'thoh ni.
3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is sure as the morning, and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.
Te dongah ming uh sih lamtah BOEIPA te ming hamla hloem uh sih. A thoengnah te mincang bangla cikngae vetih diklai tlankhol a bo bangla mamih ham khonal la ha thoeng ni.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes away early.
Ephraim nang taengah balae ka saii eh? Judah nang taengah balae ka saii eh? Nangmih sitlohnah he mincang cingmai bangla, thoh hang neh aka khum buemtui bangla om.
5 Therefore I have hewed them by the prophets. I have slain them by the words of my mouth. And thy judgments are as the light that goes forth.
Te dongah amih te tonghma neh ka dae tih ka ka dongkah ol neh ka ngawn. Nangmih kah laitloeknah hmaivang tah thoeng coeng.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Sitlohnah he ka ngaih tih hmueih moenih. Pathen mingnah he, hmueihhlutnah lakah ka ngaih.
7 But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant. There they have dealt treacherously against me.
Tedae amih loh Adam bangla paipi a poe uh tih ka taengah hnap hnukpoh uh.
8 Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
Gilead he boethae aka saii rhoek kah khorha la om tih, thii kah a ngo om.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem. Yea, they have committed iniquity.
Caem loh hlang a rhingda bangla khosoih rhoek kah hloih loh longpuei kah te Shekhem duela a ngawn uh tih khonuen rhamtat la a saii uh.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. Whoredom is there in Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
Israel imkhui ah rhih-om, rhih-om ka hmuh tih Ephraim kah pumyoihnah loh Israel te pahoi a poeih.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee when I bring back the captivity of my people.
Judah khaw ka pilnam thongtla te ka mael puei vaengah nang kah cangah tue a khueh coeng.
