< Oze 3 >
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ale ankò, renmen ak yon fanm ki renmen pa yon lòt, malgre se yon fanm adiltè, menm jan ke SENYÈ a renmen fis Israël yo, poutan, yo vire vè lòt dye yo, e yo renmen gato rezen yo.”
And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of [her] friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
2 Konsa, mwen te achte fanm nan pou yon sòm a kenz pyès ajan ak yon omè edmi lòj.
So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;
3 Mwen te di li: “Ou va rete avè m pandan anpil jou. Ou p ap fè pwostitisyon, ni ou p ap madanm a yon gason. Epi konsa, mwen va menm jan anvè ou menm.”
and I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man’s wife: so will I also be toward thee.
4 Paske, fis Israël yo va rete pandan anpil jou san wa ni prens, san sakrifis, ni pilye sakre, san efòd e san zidòl lakay yo.
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim:
5 Apre sa, fis Israël yo va retounen chache SENYÈ Bondye yo a, ak David, wa yo a. Yo va vini avèk krentif kote SENYÈ a e kote bonte Li nan dènye jou yo.
afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.
