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 again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.

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

And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.

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 to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man’s, and I also will wait 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 sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.

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 after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.
