Hosiya 3

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara m ọzọ, “Gakwuru nwanyị a na-akwa iko, nke na-emekwa enyi na-ezighị ezi, gosi ya ịhụnanya gị dịka Onyenwe anyị si hụ ndị Izrel nʼanya, nʼagbanyeghị na ha na-eso chi ndị ọzọ na-enwekwa mmasị dị ukwuu nʼachịcha nsọ e ji mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ mee.”

And he said Yahweh to me again go love a woman [who] is loved of a companion and [who] commits adultery as loves Yahweh [the] people of Israel and they [are] turning to gods other and [are] loving cakes of grapes.

2 Nʼihi ya, eweere m ego ọlaọcha dị iri na ise, na otu ntụju ọka homa, na ọka balị zụta ya.

And I bought her for myself for fif-teen silver and a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.

3 Mgbe ahụ agwara m ya, “Mụ na gị ga-ebi ọtụtụ ụbọchị, ị gaghị agbakwa akwụna, maọbụ nwee nwoke ọbụla gị na ya ga-enwe mmekọ, otu a ka m ga-emekwa nʼebe ị nọ.”

And I said to her days many you will dwell to me not you must prostitute yourself and not you must belong to a man and also I to you.

4 Nke a na-egosi na Izrel ga-anọ ogologo mgbe na-enweghị eze maọbụ onye ọchịchị. Ọ gaghị enwe ịchụ aja maọbụ nkume nsọ maọbụ efọọd maọbụ arụsị ezinaụlọ.

For - days many they will dwell [the] people of Israel there not [will be] a king and there not [will be] a prince and there not [will be] sacrifice and there not [will be] a pillar and there not [will be] an ephod and teraphim.

5 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Izrel ga-alọghachi, chọọ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, na Devid bụ eze ha. Ha ga-ewere ịma jijiji bịakwute Onyenwe anyị, bịaghachitekwa ngọzị ya nʼoge ikpeazụ a.

After they will return [the] people of Israel and they will seek Yahweh God their and David king their and they will be in dread to Yahweh and to goodness his at [the] end of the days.
