Hosea 3

1 And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.

Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ale ankò, renmen ak yon fanm ki renmen pa yon lòt, malgre se yon fanm adiltè, menm jan ke SENYÈ a renmen fis Israël yo, poutan, yo vire vè lòt dye yo, e yo renmen gato rezen yo.”

2 And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.

Konsa, mwen te achte fanm nan pou yon sòm a kenz pyès ajan ak yon omè edmi lòj.

3 And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man’s, and I also will wait for thee.

Mwen te di li: “Ou va rete avè m pandan anpil jou. Ou p ap fè pwostitisyon, ni ou p ap madanm a yon gason. Epi konsa, mwen va menm jan anvè ou menm.”

4 For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.

Paske, fis Israël yo va rete pandan anpil jou san wa ni prens, san sakrifis, ni pilye sakre, san efòd e san zidòl lakay yo.

5 And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.

Apre sa, fis Israël yo va retounen chache SENYÈ Bondye yo a, ak David, wa yo a. Yo va vini avèk krentif kote SENYÈ a e kote bonte Li nan dènye jou yo.
