Hosea 3

1 and to say LORD to(wards) me still to go: went to love: lover woman to love: lover neighbor and to commit adultery like/as love LORD [obj] son: descendant/people Israel and they(masc.) to turn to(wards) God another and to love: lover raisin bun grape

UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Hamba, utshengisele uthando lwakho kumkakho futhi, lanxa nje ethandwa ngomunye njalo eyisifebekazi. Mthande njengoThixo ethanda abako-Israyeli, lanxa baphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu njalo bethanda amakhekhe ezithelo ezonyisiweyo.”

2 and to trade her to/for me in/on/with five ten silver: money and homer barley and lethek barley

Ngakho ngamthenga ngamashekeli esiliva alitshumi lanhlanu langokwakuphosa kube lihomeri leletheki lebhali.

3 and to say to(wards) her day many to dwell to/for me not to fornicate and not to be to/for man and also I to(wards) you

Ngasengisithi kuye, “Uzahlala lami insuku ezinengi; akumelanga ube yisifebe loba wembathe lenye indoda, lami ngizahlala lawe.”

4 for day many to dwell son: descendant/people Israel nothing king and nothing ruler and nothing sacrifice and nothing pillar and nothing ephod and teraphim

Ngoba abako-Israyeli bazahlala insuku ezinengi bengelankosi kumbe inkosana, bengelamhlatshelo kumbe amatshe angcwele, bengelasembatho semahlombe kumbe isithombe.

5 after to return: return son: descendant/people Israel and to seek [obj] LORD God their and [obj] David king their and to dread to(wards) LORD and to(wards) goodness his in/on/with end [the] day

Muva abako-Israyeli bazaphenduka bamdinge uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo kanye loDavida inkosi yabo. Bazakuza kuThixo beqhaqhazela kanye lasezibusisweni zakhe ensukwini zokucina.
