Hosea 3

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Sifilpa fahla ac fahkak lungse lom nu sin sie mutan su orek kosro yurin mukul kawuk lal. Kom enenu in lungse el oana ke nga srakna lungse mwet Israel, elos finne forla nu sin god ngia ac orek mwe kisa ke raisin nu ke ma sruloala.”

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 Ouinge nga sang ipin silver singoul limekosr ac bushel in barley itkosr in molela mutan sac kiuk.

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

3 Nga fahk nu sel lah el enenu in mutana yuruk ke pacl na loeloes ac tia oan yurin kutena mukul, ku orek kosro ac eis molin kosro lal. Ac ke pulan pacl sacn nga fah tia pac oan yorol.

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 In ouiya se pacna inge, mwet Israel fah muta ke sie pacl na loes ke wangin tokosra ku mwet kol lalos, wangin mwe kisa, wangin sru eot mutal, wangin ma sruloala ku mwe lemlem in orekmakinyuk nu ke palye pacl tok ah.

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 Tusruktu oasr pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet Israel ac fah sifilpa forla nu sin LEUM GOD lalos, ac nu sin sie mwet ke fwilin tulik natul David tuh in tokosra lalos. Na elos ac fah sangeng sin LEUM GOD, ac El ac fah sang ma wo nu selos.

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.
