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.”

The Lord told me, “Go again and love a woman who is loved by another and who is committing adultery, just as the Lord loves the children of Israel, even though they turn to other gods and love their sensual worship.”

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 bought her back for fifteen shekels of silver and one and half homer of barley.

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

I told her, “You must remain with me for many days and you shall stop your prostitution. You shall not be intimate with any man, and then I shall be yours.”

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 people of Israel shall be without a king or a prince, without a sacrifice or a stone pillar or a pagan image or an idolatrous shrine for a long time.

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.

After this, the people of Israel will return and dedicate themselves to the Lord their God and to the line of David their king. In the last days they will come with awe and reverence for the Lord and his goodness.
