1Israel mnaupang a hihlaiin, huailaiin amah ka ita, Aigupta akipan ka tapa ka sam khia.
1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2Amaute a sap bang un, huchiin amau akipan a pai uh: Baalin kiangah a kithoih ua, lim gelhte kiangah gimlim a hal hi.
2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3Hinapiin Ephraim pai ka kisinsaka; ka banin amau ka poma; himahleh amau ka hihdam chih a theikei uh.
3I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4Mihing khaujentein leh, itna guitein amau ka kaia; amau adin a muk tung uleh a muk nuai ua kipana hakkol lakkhiaksakte bang ka hia, a ma uah an ka lui hi.
4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5Aigupta gamah a kik nawn kei dinga; himahleh Assuria mi a kumpipa ahi ding, kik nawn a nial jiak un.
5He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6Huan, a khopite tungah namsau likin a om dia, a siktawnte a hulin, a negai ding, a thuhilhte uh ngei jiakin.
6And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7Huchiin ka miten kei akipan nungtawn a tum chiltel uh; a mah tung sanga ompa sam mahle uh, kuamah mahin amah a liansak kei ding uh.
7And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8Ephraim, bangchiin ka hontawpsan dia? Israel, bangchiin kon tankhe dia? Admah bangin bangchiin ka honbawl dia? Zeboim bangin bangchiin ka honkoih dia? ka sungah ka lungtang a kilumleta, ka lainatnate toh a kuang khawm hi.
8How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9Ka heh mahmahna ka suakkhe sak kei dinga, Ephraim hih se dingin ka kihei kei ding: mihing hi louin, Pathian lah ka hi ngala, nang laka Mi siangthou: khopi sungah ka lut kei ding.
9I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10Humpinelkai banga humham ding, TOUPA deihdanin a om ding ua; humham ding lah ahi ngala, huchiin tumlam akipan tate lingkawmin a hongpai ding uh.
10They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11Aigupta akipana vasa bangin lingkhawmin a hongpai ding ua, Assuria gam akipana vakhu bangin: huan a inte ua teng dingin amau ka bawl ding. TOUPAN a chi.Ephraimin juauthuin kei a honum suaka, Israel inkuan khemnain: himahleh Judain Pathian toh vaia hawm laia, Mi Siangthou lakah a ginom lai hi.
11They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
12Ephraimin juauthuin kei a honum suaka, Israel inkuan khemnain: himahleh Judain Pathian toh vaia hawm laia, Mi Siangthou lakah a ginom lai hi.
12Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
