Hosea 3

1 And YHWH says to me: “Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of YHWH, the sons of Israel, and they are turning to other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.”

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 buy her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer and a lethech of barley;

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

3 and I say to her, “You remain many days for Me, you do not go whoring, nor become anyone’s; and I also [am] for you.”

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 sons of Israel remain without a king for many days, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.

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 Afterward the sons of Israel have turned back, and sought their God YHWH, and David their king, and have hurried to YHWH, and to His goodness, in the latter end of the 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.
