Hosea 2

1 Nangmacae ih namyanawk khaeah, Ammi (kai ih kami), tiah thui oh loe, na tanuhnawk khaeah, Ruhamah (palungnathaih amtuengsak), tiah thui oh.

Say vnto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah,

2 Nam no to thuitaek ah, zoeh ah; anih loe kai ih zu na ai ni, kai doeh anih ih sava na ai ni. A mikhmai hoi tangzat zawh han khethaih to va ving nasoe loe, anih ih tahnu salak hoiah zae sakhaih to va ving lai nasoe;

Plead with your mother: plead with her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: but let her take away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene her breasts.

3 to tih ai nahaeloe bangkrai ah oh hanah anih to khukbuen ka khring pae moe, tapenhaih ni nathuem ih baktih toengah, bangkrai ah ka ohsak han, anih to praezaek baktiah ka sak moe, long karoem baktiah ka suem ueloe, tui anghaehhaih hoiah ka duehsak moeng tih.

Lest I strippe her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernes, and leaue her like a drie land, and slaie her for thirst.

4 Nihcae loe tangzat zaw kami ih caa ah oh o pongah, a caanawk nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawn mak ai.

And I wil haue no pitie vpon her children: for they be the children of fornications.

5 Anih mah, Kai han buh hoi tui paek kami, tuumui hoi puu ngan khukbuen paekkung, situi hoi naek koi paek kami ah kaom, kaimah ih tlangainawk hnuk ah ka caeh han, tiah a thuih. Nihcae ih amno loe tangzat to zawh moe, azat koi kaom ah khosakhaih hoiah ni nihcae a pomh.

For their mother hath plaied the harlot: she that conceiued them, hath done shamefully: for shee said, I will goe after my louers that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle and my drinke.

6 To pongah khenah, Na caehhaih loklam to soekhring hoiah ka pakaa khoep moe, sipae kang thungh pae khoep han, to naah loe anih mah caehhaih loklam to hnu mak ai boeh.

Therefore beholde, I will stoope thy way with thornes, and make an hedge, that shee shall not finde her pathes.

7 Anih mah angmah ih tlangainawk to patom tih, toe kae mak ai; anih mah nihcae to pakrong tih, toe hnu mak ai. To naah anih mah, Ka caeh moe, hmaloe ih ka sava khaeah kam laem let han, to tiah ni vaihi pongah khosak ka hoih kue tih, tiah thui tih.

Though shee follow after her louers, yet shall shee not come at them: though shee seeke them, yet shall shee not finde them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband: for at that time was I better then nowe.

8 Kai mah ni anih hanah cang, misurtui hoi situinawk to ka paek, nihcae mah Baal han patoh o ih sui hoi sum kanglung doeh kai mah ni ka paek, tiah anih mah panoek ai.

Nowe she did not knowe that I gaue her corne, and wine, and oyle, and multiplied her siluer and golde, which they bestowed vpon Baal.

9 To pongah kam laem moe, atue mah phak naah kaimah ih cang hoi misurtui to ka lak pae ving han; anih bangkrai ah ohhaih to khuk hanah, ka paek ih kaimah ih tuumui hoi puu ngan khukbuen doeh ka lak pae let han.

Therefore wil I returne, and take away my corne in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recouer my wool and my flaxe lent, to couer her shame.

10 To pongah vaihi anih ih tlangainawk mikhnuk ah, anih azathaih to kam tuengsak han, mi mah doeh kai ih ban thung hoiah anih to loih o sak thai mak ai.

And now will I discouer her lewdnes in the sight of her louers, and no man shall deliuer her out of mine hand.

11 Anih ih poihsakhaih, poihsakhaih ninawk, khrah kangthanawk, Sabbath ninawk hoi kalah amkhuenghaih poihnawk boih doeh ka boengsak han.

I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast daies, her newe moones, and her Sabbathes, and all her solemne feasts.

12 Anih mah, Hae loe ka tlangainawk mah tha pathokhaih atho ah paek ih hmuen ah oh, tiah thuih ih angmah ih misurkung hoi thaiduetkungnawk to kam rosak han: to ahmuen to taw ah kang coengsak moe, moisannawk to ka caaksak han.

And I wil destroy her vines and her figtrees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my louers haue giuen mee: and I will make them as a forest, and the wilde beasts shall eate them.

13 Baalnawk khaeah hmuihoih a thlaekhaih aninawk pongah, anih to ka thuitaek han. Anih loe bantuek, naa tangkraeng, atho kana hmuen hoiah amthoep moe, angmah ih tlangainawk hnuk ah a caeh, kai ang pahnawt sut boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

And I wil visit vpon her the daies of Baalim, wherein shee burnt incense to them: and shee decked her selfe with her earings and her iewels, and shee folowed her louers, and forgate me, saith the Lord.

14 To pongah khenah, anih to ka zoek moe, praezaek ah ka caeh haih pacoengah, lok kanaem ka thuih pae han.

Therefore beholde, I will allure her, and bring her into the wildernesse, and speake friendly vnto her.

15 To ah anih han misur takhanawk to ka paek let moe, Akhor Azawn to oephaih khongkha ah ka sak pae han; nawkta nathuem ih baktih, Izip prae hoi angzohhaih ni thuem ih baktih toengah, anih mah to ahmuen ah laa to sah tih boeh.

And I will giue her her vineyardes from thence, and the valley of Achor for the doore of hope, and shee shall sing there as in the daies of her youth, and as in the daies when shee came vp out of the land of Egypt.

16 To na niah loe, Nang mah, Baali (ka angraeng), tiah nang kawk mak ai, Ishi (ka sava), tiah ni nang kawk tih boeh.

And at that day, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.

17 Baal ih ahminnawk to anih ih pahni hoiah ka lak pae ving han, nihcae ih ahminnawk panoek lethaih om mak ai boeh.

For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembred by their names.

18 To na niah loe moisannawk, van ih tavaanawk, long ah kavak hmuennawk hoiah misa angcoeng han ai ah, nihcae han lokmaihaih ka sak pae han. Nihcae kamding rue ah ohsak hanah, misatukhaih kalii hoi sumsen to long nui hoiah kam rosak han.

And in that day wil I make a couenant for them, with the wilde beasts, and with the foules of the heauen, and with that that creepeth vpon the earth: and I will breake the bowe, and the sworde and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to sleepe safely.

19 Nang loe kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han, ue, toenghaih hoi kamsoem ah lokcaekhaih, tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih baktiah, nang to kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han boeh.

And I wil marry thee vnto me for euer: yea, I will marry thee vnto me in righteousnes, and in iudgement, and in mercy and in compassion.

20 Oepthohhaih hoiah kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han: to naah loe Angraeng to na panoek tih boeh.

I will euen marry thee vnto me in faithfulnes, and thou shalt knowe the Lord.

21 To na niah loe na lok kang tahngaih pae han, vannawk ih lok to ka tahngaih pae han, nihcae mah doeh long ih lok to tahngai o toeng tih.

And in that day I wil heare, saith the Lord, I will euen heare the heauens, and they shall heare the earth,

22 Long mah, cang, misurtui hoi situi ih lok to tahngai pae ueloe, nihcae mah doeh Jezreel ih lok to tahngai pae o tih.

And the earth shall heare the corne, and the wine, and the oyle, and they shall heare Izreel.

23 To pacoengah anih to kaimah hanah long ah ka patit moe, palungnathaih tawn ai kami nuiah palungnathaih to kam tuengsak han; Kai ih kami ah kaom ai kami khaeah, Nangcae loe Kai ih kami ah na oh o, tiah ka naa han; to naah nihcae mah, Nang loe ka Sithaw ni, tiah thui o tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

And I will sowe her vnto me in the earth, and I will haue mercie vpon her, that was not pitied, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
