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 again, show love to this woman, who is loved by another, who commits adultery. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods, and love the raisin cakes offered 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 redeemed her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek 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 told her, “You must live with me for many days and you must not sleep around or marry 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:

And like this the Israelites will live for a long time without king and without prince, without sacrifice and without pillar, without ephod and without 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.

Yet afterward the Israelites will return, and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king, and in the days to come they will turn with awe to the Lord and his goodness.
