¹Aw Israel, TOUPa na Pathian kiangah kik nawnin, na thulimlouhna ah lah na pukta ngala.

¹O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

²Thute kitawi inla, TOUPA kiangah kik nawnin; Thulimlouhna tengteng lamang inla, a hoih na nasangin; huchiin ka mukte uh thillat bawngtalte bangin ka pe ding uh, a kiangah chiin.

²Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

³Assuriain a hondam kei dia; sakolte tungah i tuang kei ding uh; i khutte sep kiangah, PAthiante na hi uh, i chi nawn sam kei ding hi; nang ah lah pabeiten chitna a mu ngal ua.

³Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

⁴A ginomlouhna uh ka hihdam ding, amaute a thawnin ka it ding; kei akipanin ka hehna lah a kihei mang ngala.

⁴I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

⁵Israel lakah daitui bang ka hi ding; lili bangin a paklun dia, tuivaising bangin zung a khakhe ding hi.

⁵I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁶A hiangte a bawlpha dia, a kilawmna oliv sing bang ahi dia, a gim Lebanon bang ahi ding.

⁶His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

⁷A lim nuaia tengte a hongkik nawn ding ua, buhlehbal bangin a hong hingthak ding ua, grepgui bangin a paklun ding; a gim Lebanon uain bang ahi ding.

⁷They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

⁸Milimte banding ka chi nawnta dia? Ephraimin a chi ding. Ka dawng khina, amah ka limsak ding, meilah sing hing bang ka hia; kei akipan na gah muh ahi.Kua ahia pila, hiai thilte theithei ding? pilvanga, amaute thei ding? TOUPA lampite lah a dik ngala, huaite ah mi diktat a om dinga; himahleh talekte huaiah a puk ding uh.

⁸Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

⁹Kua ahia pila, hiai thilte theithei ding? pilvanga, amaute thei ding? TOUPA lampite lah a dik ngala, huaite ah mi diktat a om dinga; himahleh talekte huaiah a puk ding uh.

⁹Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
