< Hosea 2 >

1 Say ye unto your brethren: 'Ammi'; and to your sisters, 'Ruhamah.'
Na hmaunawnghanaw hah ka tami telah thoseh, na tawncanunaw hah ka pahren e ka canu telah thoseh bout ka kaw han.
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Na manu teh dei pouh awh. Ahni teh kaie ka yu nahoeh. Kai haiyah ahnie a vâ nahoeh.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Kâyonae minhmai padai laipalah kathoute hno roun naseh. Roun hoehpawiteh, a khenae patetlah caici lah thingyei um pak ka tha han. Tui ni a hak takhai e talai patetlah tui ka pakoung vaiteh ka due sak han.
4 And I will not have compassion upon her children; for they are children of harlotry.
A canaw haiyah cataca lah ao dawkvah kai ni ka pahren mahoeh.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot, she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said: 'I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.'
Ahnimae manu teh, kâyawt e doeh. Ahni ka vawn e napui hai yeirai a po toe. Ahni nihaiyah ka bu, ka tui, ka tumuen, ka tangka, ka satui, nei hane tui ouk na ka poe e kapahrennaw hnuk ka kâbang han a ti.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Hatdawkvah pâkhing hoi ka kalup han. A tâco thai hoeh nahanlah talung hoi ka tapang sin han.
7 And she shall run after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them, and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say: 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
A pahren hah a pâlei ei phat mahoeh. A tawng ei hmawt laipalah ao navah, ka vâ karuem koe doeh bout ka cei han toe ati. Atu e hmuen koe hlak hmaloe e hmuen koe doeh hoe ahawi ati han.
8 For she did not know that it was I that gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Cang, misur, satuinaw hoi Baal bawknae sui hoi ngun hai moi ka poe eiteh, Kai na pahnim awh.
9 Therefore will I take back My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will snatch away My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
Hatdawkvah canga tue nah cakang, misurtui kasu tue nah misurtui, ka poe mahoeh. Kaie tumuen hoi ngun, a caicinae ramuknae hah ka bankhai han.
10 And now will I uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of My hand.
Atu roeroe a pahrennaw koe a khohna e ka rading pouh vaiteh, yeiraipo sak han. Apinihai ka kut dawk hoi hlout sak thai mahoeh.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed seasons.
A nawmnae, pawitonae, thaparei hnin, sabbath hnin, tamimaya kamkhueng e pueng ka pout sak han.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said: 'These are my hire that my lovers have given me'; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Het hateh, ka pahren ni na poe e poehno ati e misurnaw, thaibunglungnaw lungpalueng lah ka ta vaiteh, ratu lah ka sak han, hahoi sarangnaw ni a ca awh han.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, wherein she offered unto them, and decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith the LORD.
Baal cathutnaw koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh teh, hnongpacap hoi dingyin a awi awh teh, a pahren hnuk a kâbang awh teh, Kai na pahnim awh dawkvah, Baal cathutnaw e tueng dawk e patetlah moipathung han telah Cathut ni a ti.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her.
Hatei, ahni hah bout ka pasawt han. Kahrawng lahoi a ceikhai awh nakunghai, pasawtnae lawk hoi ka dei pouh awh han.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Hote hmuen koe misur takha hai thoseh, Akhor tanghling koe ngaihawinae takhang hai thoseh ka sak pouh han. A camo nah Izip ram hoi a tâconae la a sak awh e patetlah namran lah a pha awh toteh, la a sak awh han.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hatnae tueng dawk nang ni kai hah Bawipa telah na kaw mahoeh, ka vâ telah na kaw han.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
Baal e min roeroe heh nangmae pahni dawk hoi takhoe vaiteh, a min hah dei lah rawraw bout dei mahoeh toe.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hatnae tueng dawk Kai ni ahnimouh hanlah, kahrawng e sarang, kalvan e tava, talai dawk e sarangnaw hoi na kâhuiko vaiteh, licung, tahloi, senehmaicanaw, talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han. Lungpuen tâsuenae awm laipalah a i awh han.
19 And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion.
Nang teh, ka yu lah pou na o han toe. Lannae, kamsoum e, ka kuep e lungmanae hoi nang teh kama hanelah na la han toe.
20 And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the LORD.
Ka lawkkam ka tarawi vaiteh na la han, nang ni Cathut na panue han.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth;
Bawipa ni telah ati, hatnae tueng dawk ratoumnae Kai ni na thai pouh han. Kalvan lawk ka thai pouh vai teh, ahni ni talai lawk a thai pouh awh han.
22 And the earth shall respond to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel.
Talai ni hai cakang, misurtui, satui, naw e lawk a thai vaiteh, ahnimouh ni hai Jezreel e lawk a thai awh han.
23 And I will sow her unto Me in the land; and I will have compassion upon her that had not obtained compassion; and I will say to them that were not My people: 'Thou art My people'; and they shall say: 'Thou art my God.'
Hote napui hah cati patetlah talai dawk kama hane ka patue han. Ka pahren hoeh e napui hah ka pahren han. Ka tami hoeh e koe ka tami ka ti pouh han. Ahnimouh ni hai nang teh kaimae Cathut doeh na ti pouh awh. han.
