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.

In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.

2 Chomlou kahin ei-kiledohsah kituvin tin, chuteng eiho ama umna-a iumdiu ahi.

After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:

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.”

let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to 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 unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.

5 Ka themgao ho nasatan tan din kasolin, Kakamsung thuseiya kona thatgam din kasol’e. Kathutan khovah banga kikhodoh tothon kasol’e.

Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.

6 Keiman kithoina sangin nei ngailutdiu kadeijon, Pumgo thito sanga, Keima neihetdiu kadeijon ahi.

For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.

7 Ahinlah Adam bangin, kakitepna nasukehun, katahsan nasubei uve.

But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:

8 Gilead jong hi michonseho khopi ahin, Thisan sote kengto ngapna ahibouve.

there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.

9 Michom hon mihem achanlhih banguvin, Thempuho jong ahon hon in akikhomuvin, Shechem jotna lampia mi athatuvin hitobang-tahin chonset thil jeng abolluvin ahi.

And thy strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.

10 Keiman Israel le Ephraim insunga tijat umtah thil khat kamudoh’e, Kamite noti in apangun, gamchom mite indoi hou nan akisaboiuve.

I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are 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.

begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
