< 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.
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 And I bought her for myself for fif-teen silver and a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.
Saka ndakamutenga namashekeri gumi namashanu esirivha neinenge homeri nereteki rebhari.
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.
Ipapo ndakati kwaari, “Unofanira kugara neni kwamazuva akawanda; haufaniri kuva chifeve kana kudanana nomumwe murume, uye ndichagara newe.”
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.
Nokuti vaIsraeri vachagara mazuva mazhinji vasina mambo kana muchinda, vasina chibayiro, vasina shongwe, efodhi kana chifananidzo.
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.
Mushure maizvozvo vaIsraeri vachadzoka vagotsvaka Jehovha Mwari wavo naDhavhidhi mambo wavo. Vachauya vachidedera kuna Jehovha nokumaropafadzo ake mumazuva okupedzisira.
