Hosea 3

1 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.

Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols.”

2 Keiman amanu chu dangka som le nga chule butun pocha nga a kakile choh kit ahitai.

So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.

3 Chuin amanu koma kaseiyin, tuphat laihin, nangma midangtoh chule keima tohjong nakitimat hihlaiye.

Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”

4 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.

For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.

5 Ahin khonungleh, hung kilehei kitun tin, Pakai Pathen hengle alengpau David alhangaidiu; khonung teng leh, Pakai a Pathen’u phatna agin diu ahi.

Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
