Osee 3

1 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.

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

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

3 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.

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 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.

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

5 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.

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.
