Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Angzo oh, Angraeng khaeah amlaem o si boeh; anih mah aicae ang taprawt pat boeh, toe anih mah aicae ngan na tuisak let tih.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Ni hnetto pacoengah, anih mah aicae hingsak let tih; ni thumto naah anih mah aicae to pathawk let tih, to naah aicae loe angmah hmaa ah a hing o tih boeh.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
Angraeng panoekhaih to patom o si loe, anih to panoek o si. Anih loe akhawnbang ih ni baktiah om tih; kho kangzo baktiah anih loe aicae khaeah angzo tih; anih loe hnukkhuem koek khotui hoi hmaloe koek khotui baktiah long ah angzo tih.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
Aw Ephraim nang, kawbang maw kang sak han? Aw Judah nang, kawbang maw kang naa han? Na hoihhaih loe akhawnbang ih tamai baktiah oh moe, akhawnbang ah amzawt king dantui baktiah ni oh.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
To pongah tahmaanawk mah thuih o ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka takroek boeh moe, ka pakha thung ih loknawk hoiah nihcae to ka hum boeh; na lokcaekhaih to tangphrapuek baktiah kam phasak.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Angbawnhaih ka koeh ai, palungnathaih ni ka koeh; hmai angbawnhaih pongah Sithaw panoekhaih to ka koeh kue.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Toe nihcae loe kami baktiah sak ih lokmaihaih to aek o; nihcae loe kai khaeah oepthok ah khosah o ai.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Gilead loe kami kasaenawk ih vangpui ah oh moe, kami thii hoiah amhnong o sak boeh.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Mingcahnawk mah kami angang o duem baktih toengah, qaimanawk doeh Shekem caehhaih loklam ah hum o; tangtang ni nihcae loe panuet thok zaehaih to ni a sak o.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Israel imthung takoh ah zit kaom hmuen to ka hnuk boeh: Ephraim loe tangzat zawhhaih bangah angpaek moe, Israel loe amhnong boeh.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Aw Judah, misong ah ohhaih thung hoiah kaimah ih kaminawk ka loihsak let naah loe, nang han khaeh ih cang aahhaih atue ah doeh oh.
