Hosea 6
1 Hungun, Pakai henga kilekit tauhite. Aman ahal hallin eimal teldeh jongleu, tua hi ei-damsah kitdiu ahitai. Aman eimavou ahitan, tua hi imaha hou eitompeh dingu ahitai.
Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.
2 Chomlou kahin ei-kiledohsah kituvin tin, chuteng eiho ama umna-a iumdiu ahi.
After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 Chuteng eihon Pakai ihetdiu ahitai! Kihetthemu hitin, Pakai chu hettei tei ding gouhite. Ahung kumlhah ding teng eihetsah tei nauvinte. Ahiloule leiset chapkotna pangji khalgo banga hung Lenglha jeng ding ahi, tia asei dingu ahi.”
So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
4 “O Israel le Juda, Ipi kabolpeh ding nahim?” tin Pakaiyin adonge. “Nangin nei ngailut nahi jingkah meibol bep ahin, nisan asahgot loi jeng daitwi bep ahibouve.
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
5 Ka themgao ho nasatan tan din kasolin, Kakamsung thuseiya kona thatgam din kasol’e. Kathutan khovah banga kikhodoh tothon kasol’e.
Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
6 Keiman kithoina sangin nei ngailutdiu kadeijon, Pumgo thito sanga, Keima neihetdiu kadeijon ahi.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 Ahinlah Adam bangin, kakitepna nasukehun, katahsan nasubei uve.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.
8 Gilead jong hi michonseho khopi ahin, Thisan sote kengto ngapna ahibouve.
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.
9 Michom hon mihem achanlhih banguvin, Thempuho jong ahon hon in akikhomuvin, Shechem jotna lampia mi athatuvin hitobang-tahin chonset thil jeng abolluvin ahi.
Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.
10 Keiman Israel le Ephraim insunga tijat umtah thil khat kamudoh’e, Kamite noti in apangun, gamchom mite indoi hou nan akisaboiuve.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
11 Kami Israel themmona le doumah abolnao hi keiman hamphatnaa athahbeh-a semphat ding gojongleng; O Judah nang dingin jong chang atding tepsa a kikoi ahitai.
Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.
