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.

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

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

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 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.

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.
