< Hosea 3 >
1 The LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."
BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amih loh pathen tloe taengla mael tih misur yukhap lungnah sitoe cakhaw, BOEIPA loh Israel ca a lungnah bangla a hui a lungnah tih aka samphaih nu te koep paan lamtah lungnah,” a ti.
2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.

3 I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you."
Te vaengah anih te, “Kamah taengah a tue a yet khosa lamtah cukhalh voel boeh. Hlang neh om boel lamtah kai khaw nang taengah ka om ni.
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.
Israel ca rhoek te kum a sen kho a sak uh suidae manghai khaw tal vetih mangpa khaw tal ni. Hmueih khaw tal vetih kaam khaw tal ni. Te phoeiah hnisui neh sithui khaw tal ni.
5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.
A hnuk ah Israel ca rhoek te mael uh vetih a Pathen BOEIPA neh a manghai David te a tlap uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah birhih uh vetih khohnin hnukkhueng ah a thennah la om ni.
