Hosea 2
1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
Na manuca rhoek te, 'Ka pilnam, na ngannu rhoek te 'Kan haidam 'ti nah.
2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
Na nu te ho rhoe ho laeh. Anih te kai yuu pawt tih kai khaw a va moenih. A pumyoihnah te a mikhmuh lamloh, a samphainah a rhangsuk laklo lamkah khoe laeh saeh.
3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
Anih te pumtling la ka hlik vetih a thang hnin kah bangla amah ka khueh tarha ve. Anih te khosoek bangla ka khueh vetih rhamrhae khohmuen la ka khueh phoeiah tuihalh neh ka duek sak ni.
4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
Amih pumyoi ca rhoek mai te, a ca rhoek te khaw ka haidam mahpawh.
5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
A manu te cukhalh pai tih amih a yom te yak. Ka buh, ka tui, ka tumul, ka hlamik, ka situi neh ka tuiok aka pae ka lungnah hnukah ni ka caeh eh?,” a ti.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
Te dongah kamah loh a longpuei te hling neh ka buk pah. A vongtung te ka biing pah vetih a hawn hmu voel mahpawh.
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
A lungnah rhoek te a hloem dae amih te kae mahpawh. Amih te a tlap akhaw hmu mahpawh. Te vaengah, “Ka cet vetih lamhma kah ka va taengah ka mael ni. Kai hamla tah then ngai mai coeng.
8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
Kai loh anih taengah cangpai, misur thai, situi khaw ka paek tih anih soah cak khaw ka kum sak dae sui te Baal hamla a khueh uh.
9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
Te dongah amah tue vaengah ka cangpai neh a khoning vaengkah ka misur thai te ka lat pah vetih ka loh pah ni. A yah a khuk nah ka tumul neh ka hlamik khaw ka lat ni.
10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
Te phoeiah a yah te a hlang ngaih mikhmuh ah ka poelyoe pah pawn vetih hlang loh anih te ka kut lamkah huul thai mahpawh.
11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
A omthennah, a khotue, a hlasae neh a Sabbath khaw, a tingtunnah boeih khaw boeih ka paa sak ni.
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
A misur neh a thaibu khaw ka pong sak ni. “Te rhoek te kamah kah pumyoih phu la ka hlang ngaih rhoek loh kai taengah m'paek uh,” a ti. Te cakhaw te te duup la ka khueh vetih kohong mulhing loh a caak ni.
13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”
Amih taengah a phum bangla Baal kah khohnin khaw anih taengah ka cawh ni. A hnaii neh a hnaphaa a thawn tih a hlang ngaih hnukah cet dae kai, BOEIPA kah olphong te a hnilh.
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
Te dongah kamah loh anih te ka hloih ni ne. Tedae amah te khosoek la pha sak phoeiah ni a lungbuei ah ka voek eh.
15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
Te lamloh a misurdum te amah taengla ka paek vetih Akor kol te ngaiuepnah thohka la om ni. Te vaengah a camoe tue vaengkah bangla pahoi oei vetih Egypt kho lamloh a caeh hnin bangla om ni.
16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
BOEIP A kah olphong te a khohnin neh a pha vaengah tah ka va la nan khue vetih kai taengah, “Kai kah Baal,” la na khue voel mahpawh.
17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
Baal ming te a ka lamloh ka khoe pah vetih a ming te poek voel mahpawh.
18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
Te khohnin ah tah amih ham paipi te kohong mulhing neh, vaan kah vaa neh, diklai rhulcai neh ka saii pah ni. Diklai lamkah lii, cunghang neh caemtloek te ka bawt sak vetih amih te ngaikhuek la ka yalh sak ni.
19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
Nang te kamah ham kumhal duela kam bae vetih duengnah neh, tiktamnah neh, sitlohnah neh, haidamnah neh nang te kamah hamla kam bae ni.
20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
Nang te kamah hamla uepomnah neh kam bae van daengah ni BOEIPA te na ming eh.
21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
Te khohnin te a pha vaengah BOEIPA kah olphong te ka doo vetih vaan te khaw ka doo ni. Amih long khaw diklai te a doo uh ni.
22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
Diklai long khaw cangpai misur thai neh situi te a doo vetih amih loh Jezreel te a doo ni.
23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
Anih te kamah hamla lohma ah ka soem vetih a haidam pawt te ka haidam ni. Nang Laomi te ka pilnam ka ti vetih anih long khaw ka Pathen a ti ni.
