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.”

Jehovah said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."

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

So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half 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.”

I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward 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 king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

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 the children of Israel shall return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Jehovah and to his blessings in the last days.
