Hosiya 3

1 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka tafi, ka sāke nuna wa matarka ƙauna, ko da yake wani yana son ta, ita kuma mazinaciya ce. Ka ƙaunace ta yadda Ubangiji yake ƙaunar Isra’ilawa, ko da yake sun juya ga waɗansu alloli suna kuma ƙauna wainar zabibi mai tsarki.”

Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

2 Ta haka na saye ta da shekel goma sha biyar na azurfa da kuma wajen buhu na sha’ir.

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

3 Sai na faɗa mata, “Za ki zauna tare da ni kwanaki masu yawa; kada ki yi karuwanci ko ki yi abuta da wani namiji, ni kuwa zan zauna tare da ke.”

And I said to her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be for you.

4 Gama Isra’ilawa za su yi kwanaki masu yawa ba tare da sarki ko shugaba ba, babu hadaya ko keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, babu efod ko gunki.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

5 Daga baya Isra’ilawa za su dawo su nemi Ubangiji Allahnsu da kuma Dawuda sarkinsu. Za su je da rawan jiki wajen Ubangiji da kuma ga albarkunsa a kwanakin ƙarshe.

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
