Hosea 3

1 Then said the Lord to me, Goe yet, and loue a woman (beloued of her husband, and was an harlot) according to the loue of the Lord toward the children of Israel: yet they looked to other gods, and loued the wine bottels.

Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka tafi, ka sāke nuna wa matarka ƙauna, ko da yake wani yana son ta, ita kuma mazinaciya ce. Ka ƙaunace ta yadda Ubangiji yake ƙaunar Isra’ilawa, ko da yake sun juya ga waɗansu alloli suna kuma ƙauna wainar zabibi mai tsarki.”

2 So I bought her to me for fifteene pieces of siluer, and for an homer of barlie and an halfe homer of barlie.

Ta haka na saye ta da shekel goma sha biyar na azurfa da kuma wajen buhu na sha’ir.

3 And I said vnto her, Thou shalt abide with me many dayes: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be to none other man, and I will be so vnto thee.

Sai na faɗa mata, “Za ki zauna tare da ni kwanaki masu yawa; kada ki yi karuwanci ko ki yi abuta da wani namiji, ni kuwa zan zauna tare da ke.”

4 For the children of Israel shall remaine many dayes without a King and without a prince, and without an offering, and without an image, and without an Ephod and without Teraphim.

Gama Isra’ilawa za su yi kwanaki masu yawa ba tare da sarki ko shugaba ba, babu hadaya ko keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, babu efod ko gunki.

5 Afterward shall the children of Israel conuert, and seeke the Lord their God, and Dauid their King, and shall feare the Lord, and his goodnes in the latter dayes.

Daga baya Isra’ilawa za su dawo su nemi Ubangiji Allahnsu da kuma Dawuda sarkinsu. Za su je da rawan jiki wajen Ubangiji da kuma ga albarkunsa a kwanakin ƙarshe.
