1 And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.
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 hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.
Te dongah anih te kamah hamla tangka hlai nga, cangtun am at phoeiah khosai neh ka lai.
3 And I said to her, You shall wait for me many days; and you shall not commit fornication, neither shall you be for [another] man; and I [will be] 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 children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.
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 And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter 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.
