< Hosea 3 >
1 And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.
Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Kalah sithawnawk khaeah kangqoi ving, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah misurthaih kazaek hoiah sak o ih takaw kakoeh, Israel caanawk khaeah caeh ah loe, Angraeng mah Israel caanawk palung baktih toengah, a tlangai mah palung duek ih, oep kaom ai zaehaih sah nongpata to tlangai ah suem ah, tiah ang naa.
2 And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.
To pongah anih to kaimah hanah sum kanglung shekel hatlai pangato, barli cang noekhaih homer maeto pacoeng, ahap hoiah ka qanh:
3 And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man’s, and I also will wait for thee.

4 For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.
Israel caanawk loe siangpahrang tawn ai, ukkung angraeng tawn ai, angbawnhaih om ai, sakcop ih krang tawn ai, kahni tawn ai, teraphim doeh om ai ah ni kasawk ah om o tih.
5 And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.
Ani boeng naah, Israel caanawk mah anih hoihhaih to hnuk o moe, angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi angmacae ih siangpahrang, David to pakrong hanah, Angraeng zithaih hoiah amlaem o let tih.
