Hosea 3

1 Then said the Lord unto me, Go once more, love a woman beloved of her husband, yet committing adultery; like the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who turn themselves after other gods, and love flagons of wine.

Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Dhiyo, inyis herani ni chiegi kendo, kata obedo ni ohere gi ngʼama chielo, kendo en jachode. Here kaka Nyasaye ohero jo-Israel, kata obedo ni gisebaro ka gihero nyiseche moko kendo gihero chiwonigi misengini mag mzabibu motwo.”

2 So I bought me such a one for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a chomer of barley, and half a chomer of barley.

Omiyo ne angʼiewe kuom shekel apar gabich mag fedha gi gunde ariyo mag shairi.

3 And I said unto her, Many days shalt thou abide [true] for me: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not belong to any man, and so will I also be toward thee.

Eka ne awachone niya, “Nyaka idag koda kuom ndalo mathoth; nyaka iwe timbegi mag chode kata riwori gi ngʼato, to abiro dak kodi.”

4 For many days shall the children of Israel abide without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without a standing image, and without an ephod and theraphim.

Nimar jo-Israel biro dak ndalo mangʼeny ka gionge gi ruoth kata jotelo, ka ok gitim misango maonge kido moro milamo, kata law akor mar dolo miluongo ni efod kata nyiseche manono.

5 After that will the children of Israel return, and seek for the Lord their God and David their king; and fearing will they hasten to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days,

To bangʼe jo-Israel biro duogo ka gidwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi gi Daudi ruodhgi. Ginibi ka gitetni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo e gwethne e ndalo mogik.
