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.”

Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Tun lọ fẹ́ obìnrin kan tí í ṣe olùfẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, àti panṣágà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ Olúwa sì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ń wo àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn, tí wọ́n sì ń fẹ́ àkàrà èso àjàrà.”

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

Nítorí náà, mo sì rà á padà ní ṣékélì fàdákà mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti homeri kan àti lẹ́tékì barle kan.

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 toward you.”

Mo sì sọ fún un pé, “Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ máa gbé pẹ̀lú mi fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe àgbèrè mọ́ tàbí kí o fẹ́ ọkùnrin mìíràn, èmi náà yóò sì gbé pẹ̀lú rẹ.”

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

Nítorí pé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò wà fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́ láìní ọba tàbí olórí, láìsí ìrúbọ tàbí pẹpẹ mímọ́, láìsí àlùfáà tàbí òrìṣà kankan.

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.

Lẹ́yìn èyí ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò padà láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn àti Dafidi ọba wọn. Wọn yóò sì wá síwájú Olúwa pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù, wọn ó sì jọ̀wọ́ ara wọn fún Olúwa àti ìbùkún rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn.
