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 said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by [her] friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD towards the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

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

So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and [for] a homer of barley, and a half homer 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 said to her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for [another] man: so [will] I also [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 image, and without an 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.

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
