Hosea 3

1 And the Lord said to me: “Go yet again, and love a woman, beloved by a friend, yet an adulteress, for so does the Lord love the sons of Israel, yet they look to strange gods, and love the seeds of grapes.”

Hili ia naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Toe ʻalu, pea ke ʻofa ki ha fefine ʻoku ʻofeina ʻi hono kāinga, ka ko e fefine feʻauaki, ʻo tatau pe mo e ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku sio ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea ʻoku manako ki he ngaahi ipu uaine.”

2 And I contracted her to me for fifteen silver coins, and for a basket of barley, and half a basket of barley.

Ko ia naʻaku fakatau ia kiate au ʻaki ʻae konga siliva ʻe hongofulu ma nima, mo e homa paʻale, pea mo hono vaeua ʻoe homa paʻale:

3 And I said to her, “You will wait for me for many days. You will not commit fornication, and you will not be with a man. But I also will wait for you.”

Pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia, “Te ke nofomaʻu kiate au ʻo ʻaho lahi; ka ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ʻae feʻauaki, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻi ha tangata kehe; pea te u ʻiate koe pe au.”

4 For the sons of Israel will sit for many days without a king, and without a leader, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without priestly vestments, and without religious symbols.

Koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli taʻehanautuʻi, pea taʻehaʻeiki, pea taʻehafeilaulau, pea taʻehafeilaulauʻanga, pea taʻehaʻefoti, pe ha telafimi.

5 And after this, the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek the Lord their God and David their king, and they will be terrified by the Lord and by his goodness, in the last days.

Hili ia ʻe tafoki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea te nau kumi kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea kia Tevita ko honau tuʻi; pea [te nau ]manavahē kia Sihova mo ʻene angalelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki mui.
