< Hosea 3 >

1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go and show to your wife that you still love her, even though she has been committing adultery with another man who loves her. [That will show that] I still love the people of Israel, even though they worship other gods/idols and eat raisin cakes [in feasts that honor those gods].”
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dia uda da di baligi fa: le, asili, eno sasagesu dunuma gilisili golasa. Be amo mae dawa: le, di ema asili, bu asigidafa hou olelema. Na fi dunu da sinidigili, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogele, ilima hafoga: i waini fage gobele salimusa: gaguli ahoa. Be Na da ilima asigisa. Amo defele, dia baligi fa: su udama asigima.”
2 [My wife had become a slave, ] but I bought her for (6 ounces/179 grams) of silver and ten bushels of barley.
Amaiba: le, na da na uda bu bidiga lamusa: , silifa fage15 amola bali150 gilogala: me amo i.
3 Then I said to her, “You must wait for many days [before we sleep together] [EUP]. During that time, you must not be a prostitute, and you must not have sex with any other man; but I will live with you.”
Na da ema amane sia: i, “Di da eso bagohame ouesaloma! Amo esoga, di da dina: da: i bidi hame lamu amola eno dunuma gilisili hame golama: mu. Amola amo esoga, na di bu lamusa: ne ouesalumu.”
4 [Our doing that will show that] in the same way, the people of Israel will not have a king and [other] leaders for many years. They will not offer sacrifices or [have sacred stone] pillars, no sacred vest [for the Supreme Priest], and no idols!
Amo hou defele, Isala: ili dunu da hina bagade hame, amola ouligisu dunu hame gala udigili ouesalumu. Ilia da gobele salasu hou hame, sema gele ganumu hame, loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ hame gala, amola liligi amoga ilia ba: la: lusu hamosa, amo hame gala, eso bagohame udigili ouesalumu.
5 But later, the people of Israel will return to Yahweh their God and [be guided by him and] by a king who is a descendant of [King] David. In the last/future days they will come to Yahweh, revering him and trembling [in his presence], and he will bless them.
Be eso da misunu amoga Isala: ili dunu da ilia Hina Godedafa amoma bu sinidigimu. Amola ilia da Da: ibidi egaga fi dunu afae ema sinidigimu. Amasea, ilia da Hina Godema bu beda: iba: le, Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi bu ba: mu.
