Hosia 3

1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dia uda da di baligi fa: le, asili, eno sasagesu dunuma gilisili golasa. Be amo mae dawa: le, di ema asili, bu asigidafa hou olelema. Na fi dunu da sinidigili, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogele, ilima hafoga: i waini fage gobele salimusa: gaguli ahoa. Be Na da ilima asigisa. Amo defele, dia baligi fa: su udama asigima.”

And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.

2 Amaiba: le, na da na uda bu bidiga lamusa: , silifa fage15 amola bali150 gilogala: me amo i.

So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.

3 Na da ema amane sia: i, “Di da eso bagohame ouesaloma! Amo esoga, di da dina: da: i bidi hame lamu amola eno dunuma gilisili hame golama: mu. Amola amo esoga, na di bu lamusa: ne ouesalumu.”

And I said unto her, Thou shalt wait for me many days; and thou shalt not commit fornication, neither shalt thou be for [another] man; and I [will be] for thee.

4 Amo hou defele, Isala: ili dunu da hina bagade hame, amola ouligisu dunu hame gala udigili ouesalumu. Ilia da gobele salasu hou hame, sema gele ganumu hame, loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ hame gala, amola liligi amoga ilia ba: la: lusu hamosa, amo hame gala, eso bagohame udigili ouesalumu.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.

5 Be eso da misunu amoga Isala: ili dunu da ilia Hina Godedafa amoma bu sinidigimu. Amola ilia da Da: ibidi egaga fi dunu afae ema sinidigimu. Amasea, ilia da Hina Godema bu beda: iba: le, Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi bu ba: mu.

And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.
