Oze 3

1 Seyè a pale ak mwen ankò, li di m' konsa: -Ale non, Oze! Al renmen yon fanm k'ap fè adiltè sou mari l' ak yon lòt gason. Se pou ou renmen l' menm jan mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen renmen pèp Izrayèl la, atout l'ap vire do ban mwen al jwenn lòt bondye, atout li renmen ofri gato rezen ba yo.

Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols.”

2 Se konsa, m' al achte yon fanm k'ap fè adiltè, mwen peye kenz pyès ajan ak sèt barik lòj pou li.

So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.

3 Mwen di l'. -Ou pral rete avè m' atò, machè! Ou pral sispann lage kò ou nan dezòd. Ou pa pral kouche ak ankenn gason. Mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap nan kouche avè ou.

Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”

4 Konsa tou, moun Izrayèl yo pral rete pase kèk tan san wa, san chèf, san fè ofrann bèt, san wòch lotèl, san plastwon pou prèt yo.

For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.

5 Apre sa, moun Izrayèl yo va tounen sou sa yo te fè a. Seyè a, Bondye yo a, va fè yo chache l', y'a tounen vin jwenn David, wa yo a. Y'a gen krentif pou Seyè a. Apre sa, y'a toujou resevwa favè l'.

Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
