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.

The LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children 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 for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half 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.

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 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 abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

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