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.

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ na kɔfa wo yere no bio. Fa no san bra wo nkyɛn, na dɔ no. Ɛmfa ho sɛ ɔfoforo bi dɔ no anaa sɛ ɔyɛ ɔwaresɛefo. Dɔ no, sɛnea Awurade da so dɔ Israel, a mpo, nnipa no dan wɔn ho kɔ anyame afoforo nkyɛn, na wɔma wɔn bobe aba tetare no.”

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

Enti mede gram ɔha aduoson baako ne atoko lita ɔha aduɔwɔtwe abien ne atoko lita aduɔkron baako kɔpataa no.

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.

Na meka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne me tena nna bebree, na wugyae wʼaguamammɔ no; wo ne ɔbarima biara nyɛ nnamfo. Me ne wo bɛtena, nanso me ne wo renna.”

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.

Na ɔman Israel bɛwɔ hɔ nna tenten bi a ɔhene anaa ɔheneba nni mu, na wɔremmɔ afɔre. Wɔrenhu ɔbosom dum anaa asɔfotade anaa ahoni nso wɔ hɔ.

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.

Akyiri yi, Israelfo bɛsan akɔhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn, ne Dawid a ɔyɛ wɔn hene no. Wɔde ahopopo bɛba Awurade nkyɛn na wobenya ne nhyira wɔ nna a edi akyiri no mu.
