Osee 6
1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will strike, and bind us up.
Angzo oh, Angraeng khaeah amlaem o si boeh; anih mah aicae ang taprawt pat boeh, toe anih mah aicae ngan na tuisak let tih.
2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
Ni hnetto pacoengah, anih mah aicae hingsak let tih; ni thumto naah anih mah aicae to pathawk let tih, to naah aicae loe angmah hmaa ah a hing o tih boeh.
3 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
Angraeng panoekhaih to patom o si loe, anih to panoek o si. Anih loe akhawnbang ih ni baktiah om tih; kho kangzo baktiah anih loe aicae khaeah angzo tih; anih loe hnukkhuem koek khotui hoi hmaloe koek khotui baktiah long ah angzo tih.
4 What shall I do to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
Aw Ephraim nang, kawbang maw kang sak han? Aw Judah nang, kawbang maw kang naa han? Na hoihhaih loe akhawnbang ih tamai baktiah oh moe, akhawnbang ah amzawt king dantui baktiah ni oh.
5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgement shall go forth as the light.
To pongah tahmaanawk mah thuih o ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka takroek boeh moe, ka pakha thung ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka hum boeh; na lokcaekhaih to tangphrapuek baktiah kam phasak.
6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.
Angbawnhaih ka koeh ai, palungnathaih ni ka koeh; hmai angbawnhaih pongah Sithaw panoekhaih to ka koeh kue.
7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
Toe nihcae loe kami baktiah sak ih lokmaihaih to aek o; nihcae loe kai khaeah oepthok ah khosah o ai.
8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
Gilead loe kami kasaenawk ih vangpui ah oh moe, kami thii hoiah amhnong o sak boeh.
9 And your strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
Mingcahnawk mah kami angang o duem baktih toengah, qaimanawk doeh Shekem caehhaih loklam ah hum o; tangtang ni nihcae loe panuet thok zaehaih to ni a sak o.
10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
Israel imthung takoh ah zit kaom hmuen to ka hnuk boeh: Ephraim loe tangzat zawhhaih bangah angpaek moe, Israel loe amhnong boeh.
11 begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
Aw Judah, misong ah ohhaih thung hoiah kaimah ih kaminawk ka loihsak let naah loe, nang han khaeh ih cang aahhaih atue ah doeh oh.
