1“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’
1Nangmacae ih namyanawk khaeah, Ammi (kai ih kami), tiah thui oh loe, na tanuhnawk khaeah, Ruhamah (palungnathaih amtuengsak), tiah thui oh.
2Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
2Nam no to thuitaek ah, zoeh ah; anih loe kai ih zu na ai ni, kai doeh anih ih sava na ai ni. A mikhmai hoi tangzat zawh han khethaih to va ving nasoe loe, anih ih tahnu salak hoiah zae sakhaih to va ving lai nasoe;
3lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
3to tih ai nahaeloe bangkrai ah oh hanah anih to khukbuen ka khring pae moe, tapenhaih ni nathuem ih baktih toengah, bangkrai ah ka ohsak han, anih to praezaek baktiah ka sak moe, long karoem baktiah ka suem ueloe, tui anghaehhaih hoiah ka duehsak moeng tih.
4Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.
4Nihcae loe tangzat zaw kami ih caa ah oh o pongah, a caanawk nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawn mak ai.
5For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
5Anih mah, Kai han buh hoi tui paek kami, tuumui hoi puu ngan khukbuen paekkung, situi hoi naek koi paek kami ah kaom, kaimah ih tlangainawk hnuk ah ka caeh han, tiah a thuih. Nihcae ih amno loe tangzat to zawh moe, azat koi kaom ah khosakhaih hoiah ni nihcae a pomh.
6Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.
6To pongah khenah, Na caehhaih loklam to soekhring hoiah ka pakaa khoep moe, sipae kang thungh pae khoep han, to naah loe anih mah caehhaih loklam to hnu mak ai boeh.
7She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now.’
7Anih mah angmah ih tlangainawk to patom tih, toe kae mak ai; anih mah nihcae to pakrong tih, toe hnu mak ai. To naah anih mah, Ka caeh moe, hmaloe ih ka sava khaeah kam laem let han, to tiah ni vaihi pongah khosak ka hoih kue tih, tiah thui tih.
8For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
8Kai mah ni anih hanah cang, misurtui hoi situinawk to ka paek, nihcae mah Baal han patoh o ih sui hoi sum kanglung doeh kai mah ni ka paek, tiah anih mah panoek ai.
9Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
9To pongah kam laem moe, atue mah phak naah kaimah ih cang hoi misurtui to ka lak pae ving han; anih bangkrai ah ohhaih to khuk hanah, ka paek ih kaimah ih tuumui hoi puu ngan khukbuen doeh ka lak pae let han.
10Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
10To pongah vaihi anih ih tlangainawk mikhnuk ah, anih azathaih to kam tuengsak han, mi mah doeh kai ih ban thung hoiah anih to loih o sak thai mak ai.
11I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
11Anih ih poihsakhaih, poihsakhaih ninawk, khrah kangthanawk, Sabbath ninawk hoi kalah amkhuenghaih poihnawk boih doeh ka boengsak han.
12I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’ and I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field shall eat them.
12Anih mah, Hae loe ka tlangainawk mah tha pathokhaih atho ah paek ih hmuen ah oh, tiah thuih ih angmah ih misurkung hoi thaiduetkungnawk to kam rosak han: to ahmuen to taw ah kang coengsak moe, moisannawk to ka caaksak han.
13I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers and forgot me,” says the LORD.
13Baalnawk khaeah hmuihoih a thlaekhaih aninawk pongah, anih to ka thuitaek han. Anih loe bantuek, naa tangkraeng, atho kana hmuen hoiah amthoep moe, angmah ih tlangainawk hnuk ah a caeh, kai ang pahnawt sut boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
14“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
14To pongah khenah, anih to ka zoek moe, praezaek ah ka caeh haih pacoengah, lok kanaem ka thuih pae han.
15I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
15To ah anih han misur takhanawk to ka paek let moe, Akhor Azawn to oephaih khongkha ah ka sak pae han; nawkta nathuem ih baktih, Izip prae hoi angzohhaih ni thuem ih baktih toengah, anih mah to ahmuen ah laa to sah tih boeh.
16It will be in that day,” says the LORD, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
16To na niah loe, Nang mah, Baali (ka angraeng), tiah nang kawk mak ai, Ishi (ka sava), tiah ni nang kawk tih boeh.
17For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
17Baal ih ahminnawk to anih ih pahni hoiah ka lak pae ving han, nihcae ih ahminnawk panoek lethaih om mak ai boeh.
18In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
18To na niah loe moisannawk, van ih tavaanawk, long ah kavak hmuennawk hoiah misa angcoeng han ai ah, nihcae han lokmaihaih ka sak pae han. Nihcae kamding rue ah ohsak hanah, misatukhaih kalii hoi sumsen to long nui hoiah kam rosak han.
19I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
19Nang loe kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han, ue, toenghaih hoi kamsoem ah lokcaekhaih, tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih baktiah, nang to kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han boeh.
20I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
20Oepthohhaih hoiah kaimah khaeah kang suek poe han: to naah loe Angraeng to na panoek tih boeh.
21It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says the LORD. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
21To na niah loe na lok kang tahngaih pae han, vannawk ih lok to ka tahngaih pae han, nihcae mah doeh long ih lok to tahngai o toeng tih.
22and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
22Long mah, cang, misurtui hoi situi ih lok to tahngai pae ueloe, nihcae mah doeh Jezreel ih lok to tahngai pae o tih.
23I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘You are My God!’”
23To pacoengah anih to kaimah hanah long ah ka patit moe, palungnathaih tawn ai kami nuiah palungnathaih to kam tuengsak han; Kai ih kami ah kaom ai kami khaeah, Nangcae loe Kai ih kami ah na oh o, tiah ka naa han; to naah nihcae mah, Nang loe ka Sithaw ni, tiah thui o tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
