< Oze 3 >
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kende, linga mwasi mosusu oyo azali mwasi ya mobali mosusu to mpe azali mwasi ya ekobo. Linga ye ndenge Yawe alingaka bana ya Isalaele, ata soki basambelaka banzambe mosusu mpe baliaka bagato basala na bambuma ya vino ebulisama!
The LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."
2 Boye, nasombaki ye na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, zomi na mitano, mpe na motuya ya bakilo ya orje, nkama minei na tuku mitano.
So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
3 Bongo nalobaki na ye: — Wumela na ngai tango molayi; okosala kindumba te mpe okomipesa na mobali mosusu te, ngai mpe nakosala kaka bongo epai na yo.
I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you."
4 Solo, bana ya Isalaele bakowumela tango molayi bazanga mokonzi, bazanga mokambi, bazanga mbeka, bazanga libanga ya ekaniseli, bazanga efode mpe bazanga banzambe ya bikeko.
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.
5 Sima na yango, bana ya Isalaele bakozongela mpe bakoluka Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe Davidi, mokonzi na bango; bakobelema epai na Yawe, na kolenga nyonso, mpo na kozwa mapamboli na Ye, na mikolo oyo ekolanda.
Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.
