< Hosea 3 >
1 Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols.”
BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amih loh pathen tloe taengla mael tih misur yukhap lungnah sitoe cakhaw, BOEIPA loh Israel ca a lungnah bangla a hui a lungnah tih aka samphaih nu te koep paan lamtah lungnah,” a ti.
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
Te dongah anih te kamah hamla tangka hlai nga, cangtun am at phoeiah khosai neh ka lai.
3 Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”
Te vaengah anih te, “Kamah taengah a tue a yet khosa lamtah cukhalh voel boeh. Hlang neh om boel lamtah kai khaw nang taengah ka om ni.
4 For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.
Israel ca rhoek te kum a sen kho a sak uh suidae manghai khaw tal vetih mangpa khaw tal ni. Hmueih khaw tal vetih kaam khaw tal ni. Te phoeiah hnisui neh sithui khaw tal ni.
5 Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
A hnuk ah Israel ca rhoek te mael uh vetih a Pathen BOEIPA neh a manghai David te a tlap uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah birhih uh vetih khohnin hnukkhueng ah a thennah la om ni.
