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.”

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, show love to this woman, who is loved by another, who commits adultery. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods, and love the raisin cakes offered to idols.

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

So I redeemed her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek of barley.

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 told her, “You must live with me for many days and you must not sleep around or marry another. And I will do the same for you.

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.

And like this the Israelites will live for a long time without king and without prince, without sacrifice and without pillar, without ephod and without teraphim.

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.

Yet afterward the Israelites will return, and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king, and in the days to come they will turn with awe to the Lord and his goodness.
