< Hosea 3 >
1 And he said Yahweh to me again go love a woman [who] is loved of a companion and [who] commits adultery as loves Yahweh [the] people of Israel and they [are] turning to gods other and [are] loving cakes of grapes.
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 And I bought her for myself for fif-teen silver and a homer of barley and a lethech 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 And I said to her days many you will dwell to me not you must prostitute yourself and not you must belong to a man and also I to 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 - days many they will dwell [the] people of Israel there not [will be] a king and there not [will be] a prince and there not [will be] sacrifice and there not [will be] a pillar and there not [will be] an ephod and teraphim.
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 After they will return [the] people of Israel and they will seek Yahweh God their and David king their and they will be in dread to Yahweh and to goodness his at [the] end of the 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'.
