Hosea 3

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

Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Enda, unodazve mukadzi wako, kunyange achidiwa nomumwe uye ari chifeve. Umude sokuda kunoita Jehovha vaIsraeri, kunyange vachitendeukira kuna vamwe vamwari vachida makeke akaereswa ane marezini.”

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

Saka ndakamutenga namashekeri gumi namashanu esirivha neinenge homeri nereteki rebhari.

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."

Ipapo ndakati kwaari, “Unofanira kugara neni kwamazuva akawanda; haufaniri kuva chifeve kana kudanana nomumwe murume, uye ndichagara newe.”

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.

Nokuti vaIsraeri vachagara mazuva mazhinji vasina mambo kana muchinda, vasina chibayiro, vasina shongwe, efodhi kana chifananidzo.

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

Mushure maizvozvo vaIsraeri vachadzoka vagotsvaka Jehovha Mwari wavo naDhavhidhi mambo wavo. Vachauya vachidedera kuna Jehovha nokumaropafadzo ake mumazuva okupedzisira.
