< Hosea 3 >
1 And the Lord seide to me, Yit go thou, and loue a womman loued of a frend, and a womman auoutresse, as the Lord loueth the sones of Israel; and thei biholden to alien goddis, and louen the draffis of grapis.
Onyenwe anyị gwara m ọzọ, “Gakwuru nwanyị a na-akwa iko, nke na-emekwa enyi na-ezighị ezi, gosi ya ịhụnanya gị dịka Onyenwe anyị si hụ ndị Izrel nʼanya, nʼagbanyeghị na ha na-eso chi ndị ọzọ na-enwekwa mmasị dị ukwuu nʼachịcha nsọ e ji mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ mee.”
2 And Y dalf it to me bi fiftene pens, and bi a corus of barli, and bi half a corus of barli.
Nʼihi ya, eweere m ego ọlaọcha dị iri na ise, na otu ntụju ọka homa, na ọka balị zụta ya.
3 And Y seide to it, Bi many daies thou shalt abide me; thou schalt not do fornycacioun, and thou schalt not be with an hosebonde, but also Y schal abide thee.
Mgbe ahụ agwara m ya, “Mụ na gị ga-ebi ọtụtụ ụbọchị, ị gaghị agbakwa akwụna, maọbụ nwee nwoke ọbụla gị na ya ga-enwe mmekọ, otu a ka m ga-emekwa nʼebe ị nọ.”
4 For bi many daies the sones of Israel schulen sitte with out kyng, with out prince, and with out sacrifice, and with out auter, and with out prestis cloth, and with out terafyn, that is, ymagis.
Nke a na-egosi na Izrel ga-anọ ogologo mgbe na-enweghị eze maọbụ onye ọchịchị. Ọ gaghị enwe ịchụ aja maọbụ nkume nsọ maọbụ efọọd maọbụ arụsị ezinaụlọ.
5 And after these thingis the sones of Israel schulen turne ayen, and schulen seke her Lord God, and Dauid, her king; and thei schulen drede at the Lord, and at the good of him, in the laste of daies.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Izrel ga-alọghachi, chọọ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, na Devid bụ eze ha. Ha ga-ewere ịma jijiji bịakwute Onyenwe anyị, bịaghachitekwa ngọzị ya nʼoge ikpeazụ a.
