Hosea 3

1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, E hele hoi, e aloha aku i ka wahine i alohaia e ka hoalauna, aka, ke moe kolohe nae: E like me ke aloha o Iehova i na mamo a Iseraela, I ka poe e huli ana i na akua e, A e makemake hoi i na pai huawaina.

And Jehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.

2 A kuai aku la au ia ia na'u i na kala he umikumamalua a me ka homera a me ka hapalua o ka homera bale:

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley.

3 A i aku la au ia ia, E kali oe ia'u i na la he nui, Aole oe e hele i ka moe kolohe, Aole oe e lilo i ke kanaka e ae: Pela hoi e lilo ai au nau.

And I said to her, Thou shall abide for me many days. Thou shall not play the harlot, and thou shall not be any man's wife. So I will also be toward thee.

4 No ka mea, he nui na la e noho ai na mamo a Iseraela, aohe alii, aohe haku, aohe mohai, aohe kii, aohe epoda, aohe terapima:

For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim.

5 Mahope iho e huli mai na mamo a Iseraela, a imi ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a me Davida ko lakou alii; A e makau lakou ia Iehova, a me kona lokomaikai i na la mahope.

Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.
