Hosea 3

1 Jehovah said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."

Seyè a pale ak mwen ankò, li di m' konsa: -Ale non, Oze! Al renmen yon fanm k'ap fè adiltè sou mari l' ak yon lòt gason. Se pou ou renmen l' menm jan mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen renmen pèp Izrayèl la, atout l'ap vire do ban mwen al jwenn lòt bondye, atout li renmen ofri gato rezen ba yo.

2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.

Se konsa, m' al achte yon fanm k'ap fè adiltè, mwen peye kenz pyès ajan ak sèt barik lòj pou li.

3 I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you."

Mwen di l'. -Ou pral rete avè m' atò, machè! Ou pral sispann lage kò ou nan dezòd. Ou pa pral kouche ak ankenn gason. Mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap nan kouche avè ou.

4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

Konsa tou, moun Izrayèl yo pral rete pase kèk tan san wa, san chèf, san fè ofrann bèt, san wòch lotèl, san plastwon pou prèt yo.

5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Jehovah and to his blessings in the last days.

Apre sa, moun Izrayèl yo va tounen sou sa yo te fè a. Seyè a, Bondye yo a, va fè yo chache l', y'a tounen vin jwenn David, wa yo a. Y'a gen krentif pou Seyè a. Apre sa, y'a toujou resevwa favè l'.
