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.

Yehova anati kwa ine, “Pita kamukondenso mkazi wako, ngakhale ali pa chibwenzi ndi wina ndi kuti ndi wachigololo. Mukonde iyeyo monga momwe Yehova amakondera Aisraeli, ngakhale iwo amapita kukapembedza milungu ina ndi kukonda nsembe za keke zamphesa zowuma.”

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

Motero ndinamukwatira popereka ndalama khumi ndi zisanu zasiliva, ndiponso mitanga isanu ndi iwiri ya barele.

3 And I said to her, You shall wait for me many days; and you shall not commit fornication, neither shall you be for [another] man; and I [will be] for you.

Kenaka ndinamuwuza mkaziyo kuti, “Ukhale nane masiku ambiri; usachitenso zachiwerewere kapena chigololo ndi munthu wina, ndipo ine ndidzakhala nawe.”

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.

Pakuti Aisraeli adzakhala masiku ambiri opanda mfumu kapena kalonga, osapereka nsembe kapena kuyimika miyala yachipembedzo, wopanda efodi kapena fano.

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.

Pambuyo pake Aisraeli adzabwerera ndi kufunafuna Yehova Mulungu wawo ndi Davide mfumu yawo. Adzabwera kwa Yehova akunjenjemera ndipo adzalandira madalitso mʼmasiku awo otsiriza.
