Hosea 3

1 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of Jehovah, the sons of Israel, and they are turning unto other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.'

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔfa wo yere no bio. Fa no sane bra wo nkyɛn, na dɔ no. Ɛmfa ho sɛ ɔfoforɔ bi dɔ no anaa sɛ ɔyɛ ɔwaresɛefoɔ. Dɔ no, sɛdeɛ Awurade da so dɔ Israel a, mpo, nnipa no adane wɔn ho kɔ anyame foforɔ nkyɛn, na wɔma wɔn bobe aba taterɛ no.”

2 And I buy her to me for fifteen silverlings, and a homer and a letech of barley;

Enti, mede gram ɔha aduɔson baako (gram 171) ne atokoɔ kɛntɛn baako (lita 182) ne atokoɔ lita aduɔkron baako kɔpataa no.

3 and I say unto her, 'Many days thou dost remain for Me, thou dost not go a-whoring, nor become any one's; and I also [am] for thee.'

Na meka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne me tena nna bebree, na wogyae wʼadwamammɔ no; wo ne ɔbarima biara nnyɛ nnamfo. Me ne wo bɛtena, nanso me ne wonna.”

4 For many days remain do the sons of Israel without a king, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.

Na ɔman Israel bɛwɔ hɔ nna tenten bi a ɔhene anaa ɔheneba nni mu, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ. Wɔrenhunu ɔbosom dum anaa asɔfotadeɛ anaa ahoni nso wɔ hɔ.

5 Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days.

Akyire yi, Israelfoɔ bɛsane akɔhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, ne Dawid a ɔyɛ wɔn ɔhene no. Wɔde ahopopoɔ bɛba Awurade nkyɛn na wɔbɛnya ne nhyira wɔ nna a ɛdi akyire no mu.
