Hosea 14
1 Return, Israel, to the Lord your God, because your sins have brought you down.
Israel aw, na Pathen Yahweh taengla mael laeh. Namah kathaesainah dongah ni na paloe coeng.
2 Take words like these with you and come back to the Lord, saying to him, “Please take away all our guilt, accept what is good, and we will repay you with praise from our lips.
Ol te namah taengla lo lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael laeh. Amah te, “Thaesainah cungkuem he na phueih dongah hnothen he doe lamtah ka hmuilai vaito te neh kan thuung mai eh.
3 Assyria can't save us; we will not ride our warhorses; we will never again say ‘You are our gods’ to the idols we have made. For in you orphans find mercy.”
Assyria loh kaimih n'khang moenih, marhang dongah ka ngol uh mahpawh. Namah ah cadah a haidam dongah kaimih kut kah bibi taengah kaimih kah Pathen koep ka ti uh mahpawh,” ti uh.
4 I will heal their unfaithfulness; I will love them freely, for I'm not angry with them any more.
Amih hnukpoh te ka hoeih sak vetih amih te kothoh neh ka lungnah ni. Ka thintoek he anih lamloh mael coeng.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel, they will blossom like lilies, they will send down roots like the cedars of Lebanon.
Israel taengah buemtui la ka om vetih tuilipai bangla pailum ni. Lebanon bangla a yung a pael ni.
6 They shall send out new shoots, their splendor will be like the olive tree, their scent will be like the cedars of Lebanon.
A dawn yam vetih a mueithennah te olive bangla om ni. A bo khaw Lebanon bangla ul ni.
7 Those who live under their shade shall return, they will flourish like grain, they will blossom like the vine, and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
Mael uh vetih a hlipkhup kah khosa rhoek tah cangpai neh hing uh ni. Misur bangla saitlim vetih anih poekkoepnah te Lebanon misurtui bangla om ni.
8 Ephraim, how much more do I have to warn you about idols? I have answered and now I am watching. I am like a tree that is evergreen; your fruit is found in me.
Ephraim, muei te kai hamla balam voel nim? Kai ka doo vetih anih ka mae ni. Kai tah hmaical hing banghui ni. Na thaih te kai lamloh tueng coeng.
9 Who is wise to understand these things? Who has discernment in understanding them? The Lord's paths are right—the good follow them, but rebels trip and fall along the way.
Unim aka cueih tih he he a yakming lah ve? A yakming daengah ni BOEIPA kah a thuem longpuei te a ming eh. Aka dueng rhoek te a khuiah pongpa uh dae boekoek rhoek tah a khuiah paloe uh.
