< Hosea 3 >
1 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of Jehovah, the sons of Israel, and they are turning unto other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.'
Chuin Pakaiyin kakoma aseiye, “Chenlang nainneipi ngailukittan, amanun michom dang toh jonthanhoina neijeng jongle ngailukitin. Hichun vetsah chu Israel mite pathen dang ho koma kiheimangu henlang, hou jongleu, Pathen in angailu jing nalaijuve.
2 And I buy her to me for fifteen silverlings, and a homer and a letech of barley;
Keiman amanu chu dangka som le nga chule butun pocha nga a kakile choh kit ahitai.
3 and I say unto her, 'Many days thou dost remain for Me, thou dost not go a-whoring, nor become any one's; and I also [am] for thee.'
Chuin amanu koma kaseiyin, tuphat laihin, nangma midangtoh chule keima tohjong nakitimat hihlaiye.
4 For many days remain do the sons of Israel without a king, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.
Hiche hin avetsah chu, Israel hi lengnu le lengpa neilouva chule gan kilhaina neilouva le thempu theng ahiloule milim doi jeng jong, phat sottah aneilou diu ahi.
5 Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days.
Ahin khonungleh, hung kilehei kitun tin, Pakai Pathen hengle alengpau David alhangaidiu; khonung teng leh, Pakai a Pathen’u phatna agin diu ahi.
