Hosea 3

1 The LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.”

Le hoe t’Iehovà amako; Akia irehe: Ikokò ty rakemba ikokoan-tsakeza’e, ie toe karapilo, manahake ty fikokoa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, ie mitolik’ aman-drahare ila’e vaho mpitea mofom-balòboke.

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

Aa le viniliko ho ahiko re ami’ty volafoty folo-lim’amby naho ampemba omere raike naho tampa’e;

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 towards you.”

le hoe iraho ama’e, Himoneñe amako andro maro irehe; fa tsy hihisa ankarapiloañe ka, naho tsy hiharo amy t’indaty ila’e; le hoe izay ka izaho ama’o.

4 For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

Amy te himoneñe andro maro tsy amam-panjàka tsy aman-Talè, tsy aman-tsòroñe, tsy aman-tsamposampo, tsy aman’efode vaho tsy aman-terafeme o nte-Israeleo.

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

Ie modo izay, le himpoly o ana’ Israeleo, hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, naho i Davide mpanjaka’ iareo; vaho hañeveñe am’ Iehovà naho i fatariha’ey amo andro sehanga’eo.
