Hosea 3

1 And Jehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.

Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana indray, tiava vehivavy izay tian’ ny vadiny nefa mijangajanga, dia tahaka ny fitiavan’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely, nefa ireo kosa dia mihodìna ho amin’ izay andriamani-kafa sady tia ampempam-boaloboka.

2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley.

Ka dia novidiko sekely volafotsy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy vary hordea homera iray sy tapany izy.

3 And I said to her, Thou shall abide for me many days. Thou shall not play the harlot, and thou shall not be any man's wife. So I will also be toward thee.

Ary hoy izaho taminy: Andro maro no hitoeranao miandry ahy; fa tsy havela hijangajanga na hanambady olon-kafa ianao; ary izaho koa dia ho toy izany aminao.

4 For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim.

Fa andro maro no hitoeran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tsy hanana mpanjaka, na mpanapaka, na fanatitra, na tsangam-bato, na efoda, na terafima.

5 Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.

Rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka hitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sy Davida mpanjakany; ary nandeha amin-kovitra hanatona an’ i Jehovah sy ny fahasoavany izy, raha mby any am-parany.
