Hosea 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.
BOEIPA ol tah Judah manghai rhoek Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tue neh Israel manghai Joash capa Jeroboam tue vaengah Beeri capa Hosea taengla pawk.
2 The beginning of the Lord’s conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord.”
BOEIPA tah Hosea dong lamloh lamhma la cal. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Hosea te, “Cet lamtah pumyoi nu neh pumyoihnah kah camoe rhoek te namah taengla lo laeh. Khohmuen he BOEIPA hnuk lamloh cukhalh rhoe cukhalh,” a ti nah.
3 And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
Te dongah cet tih Diblaim canu Gomer te a loh. Te vaengah vawn tih anih hamla capa pakhat a sak pah.
4 And the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te, “A ming te Jezreel sui. Jehu im kah Jezreel thii te ka cawh vetih Israel imkhui kah ram te ka paa sak pawn ni.
5 And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
Te khohnin te a pha vaengah tah Israel kah lii te Jezreel kol ah ka khaem pah ni,” a ti.
6 And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: “Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
Te phoeiah koep vawn tih canu a sak hatah, “Israel imkhui te koep ka haidam voel pawt vetih amih te ka khuen rhoe ka khuen ham coeng dongah a ming te Loruhamah sui.
7 Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen.”
Tedae Judah imkhui tah ka haidam vetih amih te amamih kah Pathen BOEIPA rhangneh ka khang ni. Te vaengah amih te lii neh, tumca neh, caemtloek neh, marhang neh, marhang caem neh ka khang mahpawh,” a ti nah.
8 And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.
Loruhamah te suk a kan phoeiah vawn tih capa a sak.
9 And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
Te vaengah, “Nangmih te ka pilnam voel pawt tih kai khaw nangmih hut la ka om voel pawt dongah a ming te Loami sui,” a ti nah.
10 And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’
Tedae Israel ca hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om ni. Te te loeng lek pawt tih tae lek pawh. Amih te, 'Nangmih te ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah a om sak vetih amih te aka hing Pathen ca rhoek a ti ni.
11 And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel.”
Te vaengah Judah ca rhoek neh Israel ca tun tingtun uh ni. Amamih ham boeilu pakhat a khueh uh tih Jezreel khohnin puei ham khohmuen lamloh cet uh ni,” a ti nah.
