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.

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 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 for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech 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.

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

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 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.
