Oseas 3

1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka manen, ayatem ti maysa a babai, nga inayat ti asawana, ngem maysa a mannakikammalala. Ayatem isuna kas iti panagayatko, siak a ni Yahweh, kadagiti tattao ti Israel, uray no nagkamangda kadagiti dadduma a dios ken pagay-ayatda dagiti kankanen a naaramid iti pasas.”

And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.

2 Isu a ginatangko isuna a maipaay kaniak iti sangapulo ket lima a pidaso a pirak ken maysa ket kagudua nga omer ti sebada.

So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.

3 Kinunak kekuana, “Masapul a makipagbiagka kaniak iti adu nga aldaw. Saankanto a balangkantis wenno kukua ti siasinoman a lalaki. Kastaakto met, addaakto kenka.”

And I said unto her, Thou shalt wait for me many days; and thou shalt not commit fornication, neither shalt thou be for [another] man; and I [will be] for thee.

4 Ta agbiagto dagiti tattao ti Israel iti adu nga aldaw nga awanan iti ari, prinsipe, sakrifisio, adigi a bato, efod wenno didiosen dagiti bumalay.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.

5 Kalpasanna, agsublinto dagiti tattao ti Israel ket birokendanto ni Yahweh a Diosda ken ni David nga arida. Ket kadagiti kamaudianan nga al-aldaw, umaydanto a sibubuteng iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti kinaimbagna.

And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.
