UHoseya 3

1 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Hamba futhi, uthande owesifazana, othandwe ngumngane wakhe kanti uyafeba, njengeNkosi ithanda abantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa bakhangela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bethanda izinkwa zezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo.

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ na kɔfa wo yere no bio. Fa no san bra wo nkyɛn, na dɔ no. Ɛmfa ho sɛ ɔfoforo bi dɔ no anaa sɛ ɔyɛ ɔwaresɛefo. Dɔ no, sɛnea Awurade da so dɔ Israel, a mpo, nnipa no dan wɔn ho kɔ anyame afoforo nkyɛn, na wɔma wɔn bobe aba tetare no.”

2 Ngasengizithengela yena ngezinhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi lanhlanu, lehomeri yebhali lengxenye yehomeri yebhali.

Enti mede gram ɔha aduoson baako ne atoko lita ɔha aduɔwɔtwe abien ne atoko lita aduɔkron baako kɔpataa no.

3 Ngasengisithi kuye: Uzahlala ungowami insuku ezinengi; ungawuli, ungabi ngowenye indoda, ngokunjalo lami ngizakuba ngowakho.

Na meka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne me tena nna bebree, na wugyae wʼaguamammɔ no; wo ne ɔbarima biara nyɛ nnamfo. Me ne wo bɛtena, nanso me ne wo renna.”

4 Ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazahlala insuku ezinengi bengelankosi, bengelasiphathamandla, bengelamhlatshelo, bengelansika eyisithombe, bengela-efodi lamatherafi.

Na ɔman Israel bɛwɔ hɔ nna tenten bi a ɔhene anaa ɔheneba nni mu, na wɔremmɔ afɔre. Wɔrenhu ɔbosom dum anaa asɔfotade anaa ahoni nso wɔ hɔ.

5 Emva kwalokho abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazaphenduka, badinge iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, loDavida inkosi yabo; bayesabe iNkosi lokulunga kwayo ekucineni kwezinsuku.

Akyiri yi, Israelfo bɛsan akɔhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn, ne Dawid a ɔyɛ wɔn hene no. Wɔde ahopopo bɛba Awurade nkyɛn na wobenya ne nhyira wɔ nna a edi akyiri no mu.
