Hosea 6
1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
Tho awh, Cathut koe ban awh sei. Bawipa ni vekrasen lah na kei teh na phi ei, bout na dam sak han. Na hem eiteh, bout na sat han.
2 After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
Hnin hni touh a loum hnukkhu na hring sak teh, hnin thum hnin vah, na thaw sak han. Hatdawkvah, ama koe maimouh teh hring awh han. Lungangnae hai tawn awh han.
3 And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
Cathut panue nahanlah a tawng awh han. A tâconae tueng teh amom patetlah ao. Kho ka rak e patetlah kho ahnoung e kho ka rak e patetlah talai duk sak hanlah a tho han
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
Oe Ephraim, nang dawk bangmaw ka sak han. Oe Judah, nang dawk bangmaw ka sak han. Nangmae yuemkamcunae teh, amom e tâmai hoi, palang kahmat e tadamtui patetlah ao.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimanaw hah profetnaw hno lahoi kai ni patpat ka bouk toe. Ka lawk tâcawt e lahoi ka thei toe. Lawkcengnae hai angnae patetlah ao toe.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
Thuengnae hlak lungmanae, hmaisawi thuengnae hlak Cathut hoi kâpanuenae hah ka ngai.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
Ahnimouh teh, Adam patetlah lawkkam a tapoe awh toe. A o awhnae koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah na o sin awh toe.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
Gilead khopui teh kahawihoeh hno ka saknaw e hmuen lah ao teh, tami thi kapalawngnaw e khokhnuk tungkâtue.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.
Dingcanaw ni kahlong kacetnaw a pawp awh e patetlah vaihmanaw ni Shekhem lah ceinae lam dawk patenghai tami a thei awh toe.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Atangcalah, kahawihoeh hno a sak awh. Isarelnaw koe taki ka tho e hno ka hmu toe. Ephraimnaw a tak a kâyo teh, Isarel teh a khin.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,
Hothloilah, Oe Judahnaw, man lah kaawm e ka taminaw bout ka thokhai toteh, nang hanlah canganae tueng khoe lah ao.
