Hosea 14
1 [You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
Oe, Isarel, nang teh nama e yonnae kecu dawk hoi na rawk toung dawkvah, Jehovah Cathut koe bout ban leih.
2 So now return to Yahweh and say [MTY] this to him: “Forgive us for all the sins that we have committed, and kindly accept (us/our sacrifices) in order that we may thank/praise you [IDM].
Lawk sin laihoi Cathut koe ban nateh, ahni koe kai dawk kaawm e yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw. Bout na dâw haw. Ka pahni dawk hoi thuengnae hah ka sak awh han.
3 [We admit that] Assyria will not save us, and our war horses will not save us, either. We will never again say, ‘You are our gods’ to [the idols that] we [SYN] have made. You are the one who acts mercifully to orphans.”
Assiria ni kaimouh na rungngang mahoeh. Kaimouh teh marang ransa lah kaawm a mahoeh toe. Meikaphawknaw koe, nangmouh teh kaimae Cathut doeh bout ka tet awh mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nara ni nang koe lungmanae ouk a coe, telah dei awh.
4 [Yahweh says, “If they say that to me, ] I will forgive them for having (turned away from/abandoned) me, and I will love them with all my inner being, because I [PRS] will have stopped being angry with them.
Ka lungkhueknae roum vaiteh, hnam na thun takhai e heh ka dam sak han, aphu laipalah ka lungpataw han.
5 I will be to the people of Israel like dew [that refreshes the soil]. When I do that, they will [become as delightful as] [MET] lilies are when they are blooming. [No one will be able to conquer them; ] they will be [as unmovable as] [SIM] the roots [of cedar trees].
Kai ni tadamtui patetlah Isarel lathueng ka o pouh han. Ahnimouh teh lili pei patetlah a kamhlawng awh vaiteh, Lebanon mon e thingnaw patetlah a khawngyang a pabo awh han.
6 [Their good influence will spread] like [MET] the branches of a tree. They will be like [SIM] beautiful olive trees, and [they will be as delightful as] [SIM] the aroma of the cedar [trees in] Lebanon.
A kangnaw teh naw awh vaiteh, olivekung patetlah khet ahawi han. Lebanon mon patetlah a hmuitui han.
7 People will [come to them to be protected] [like people are protected from the hot sun by being] [MET] in the shade [of a tree]. They [will (flourish/be strong) like] [SIM] grain that grows well. They will [be successful like] a vineyard [in which grapes grow abundantly]. They will become as famous/well-known as [SIM] the wines from Lebanon.
Taminaw ni hote thing tâhlip dawk kho bout a sak awh han. Ahni teh cang patetlah a roung han, misur patetlah a roung han. Lebanon misurtui patetlah a min kamthang han.
8 [You people of] Israel, do not [RHQ] have anything more to do with idols; if you [get rid of your idols], I will answer your [prayers] and take care of you. I am like [MET] a strong/green pine tree, and your blessings come from me.”
Ephraim ni kai teh, meikaphawk hoi bangmouh kâkuetnae kaawm ati han. Ahnie lawk ka thai pouh vaiteh, ka khetyawt han. Kahringsuep e hmaicakung patetlah ka o teh, nang teh kaie lungmanae dawk a paw hoi na kawi han.
9 Those who are wise will understand the things [about which I have written]. Those who think well will pay careful attention to them. The things that Yahweh wants us to do [MET] are right; righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them. But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.
Apimouh a lungkaang. Ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a thai panuek han doeh. Apimouh kho ka pouk thai, ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a panue han. Cathut e lamthung teh a lan. Tami kalannaw ni a dawn awh han. Tami kahawihoehe naw teh, hote lamthung dawk kamthui vaiteh a tâlaw awh han.
