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 the LORD said unto me: 'Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend and an adulteress, even as the LORD loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto 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 unto her: 'Thou shalt sit solitary for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man's wife; nor will I be thine.'

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 children of Israel shall sit solitary many days without king, and without prince, 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 shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days.
