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.”

Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Namni biraa ishee jaallatee isheen sagaagaltuu taatu iyyuu, ati dhaqiitii ammas niitii keetti jaalala kee argisiisi. Akkuma Waaqayyoo utuma isaan waaqota biraatti deebiʼanii bixxillee wayinii jaallatanuu Israaʼeloota jaallate sana atis ishee jaalladhu.”

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

Kanaafuu ani meetii saqilii kudha shaniin, garbuu hoomeerii tokkoo fi walakkaatiin ishee nan bitadhe.

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.”

Ani ergasii akkana nan jedheen; “Ati bara hedduu na wajjin jiraachuu qabda; ati sagaagaltuu taʼuu yookaan nama kam iyyuu wajjin tokko taʼuu hin qabdu; ani si wajjin nan jiraadha.”

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.

Israaʼeloonni mootii yookaan ilma mootii malee, aarsaa yookaan utubaa waaqeffannaa malee dirata yookaan waaqota tolfamoo malee bara baayʼee ni jiraatuutii.

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.

Ergasii immoo Israaʼeloonni deebiʼanii Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi Daawit mootii isaanii barbaadu. Isaan bara dhumaa keessa hollachaa gara Waaqayyootii fi gara eebba isaa ni dhufu.
