< Hooseʼaa 3 >
1 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Namni biraa ishee jaallatee isheen sagaagaltuu taatu iyyuu, ati dhaqiitii ammas niitii keetti jaalala kee argisiisi. Akkuma Waaqayyoo utuma isaan waaqota biraatti deebiʼanii bixxillee wayinii jaallatanuu Israaʼeloota jaallate sana atis ishee jaalladhu.”
And the Lord seide to me, Yit go thou, and loue a womman loued of a frend, and a womman auoutresse, as the Lord loueth the sones of Israel; and thei biholden to alien goddis, and louen the draffis of grapis.
2 Kanaafuu ani meetii saqilii kudha shaniin, garbuu hoomeerii tokkoo fi walakkaatiin ishee nan bitadhe.
And Y dalf it to me bi fiftene pens, and bi a corus of barli, and bi half a corus of barli.
3 Ani ergasii akkana nan jedheen; “Ati bara hedduu na wajjin jiraachuu qabda; ati sagaagaltuu taʼuu yookaan nama kam iyyuu wajjin tokko taʼuu hin qabdu; ani si wajjin nan jiraadha.”
And Y seide to it, Bi many daies thou shalt abide me; thou schalt not do fornycacioun, and thou schalt not be with an hosebonde, but also Y schal abide thee.
4 Israaʼeloonni mootii yookaan ilma mootii malee, aarsaa yookaan utubaa waaqeffannaa malee dirata yookaan waaqota tolfamoo malee bara baayʼee ni jiraatuutii.
For bi many daies the sones of Israel schulen sitte with out kyng, with out prince, and with out sacrifice, and with out auter, and with out prestis cloth, and with out terafyn, that is, ymagis.
5 Ergasii immoo Israaʼeloonni deebiʼanii Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi Daawit mootii isaanii barbaadu. Isaan bara dhumaa keessa hollachaa gara Waaqayyootii fi gara eebba isaa ni dhufu.
And after these thingis the sones of Israel schulen turne ayen, and schulen seke her Lord God, and Dauid, her king; and thei schulen drede at the Lord, and at the good of him, in the laste of daies.
