< Hosea 2 >

1 "Say to your brothers, 'My People.' and to your sisters, 'Compassion.'
Na hmaunawnghanaw hah ka tami telah thoseh, na tawncanunaw hah ka pahren e ka canu telah thoseh bout ka kaw han.
2 Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution 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 make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill 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 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
A canaw haiyah cataca lah ao dawkvah kai ni ka pahren mahoeh.
5 For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my 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, look, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
Hatdawkvah pâkhing hoi ka kalup han. A tâco thai hoeh nahanlah talung hoi ka tapang sin han.
7 She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will 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 I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to 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 I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered 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 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will 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 celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
A nawmnae, pawitonae, thaparei hnin, sabbath hnin, tamimaya kamkhueng e pueng ka pout sak han.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals 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 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says 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, look, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
Hatei, ahni hah bout ka pasawt han. Kahrawng lahoi a ceikhai awh nakunghai, pasawtnae lawk hoi ka dei pouh awh han.
15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will 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 It will be in that day," says the LORD, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'
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 Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
Baal e min roeroe heh nangmae pahni dawk hoi takhoe vaiteh, a min hah dei lah rawraw bout dei mahoeh toe.
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the crawling creatures of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them 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 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, 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 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
Ka lawkkam ka tarawi vaiteh na la han, nang ni Cathut na panue han.
21 It will happen in that day, I will respond," says the LORD, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will 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 will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will 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 for myself in the land; and I will compassion on No Compassion; and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people;' and they will say, '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.
