Hoosheeca 3

1 Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Haddana tag, oo waxaad jeclaataa naag la caashaqo oo dhillo ah, sida Rabbigu u jecel yahay dadka Israa'iil in kastoo ay ilaahyo kale u jeestaan, oo ay jeclaadaan wax sabiib ah.

Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go again, show love to this woman, who is loved by another, who commits adultery. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods, and love the raisin cakes offered to idols.

2 Sidaas daraaddeed iyadaan ku soo iibsaday shan iyo toban xabbadood oo lacag ah, iyo xomeer iyo badh oo shaciir ah.

So I redeemed her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek of barley.

3 Oo waxaan iyada ku idhi, Waa inaad wakhti dheer ii joogtaa, oo aadan dhilloobin, oo aadan innaba nin kale naagtiis noqon, oo aniguna sidaas oo kalaan kuu ahaan doonaa.

And I told her, ‘You must live with me for many days and you must not sleep around or marry another. And I will do the same for you.

4 Waayo, dadka Israa'iil wakhti dheer bay joogi doonaan boqorla'aan, iyo amiirla'aan, allabarila'aan, iyo tiirla'aan, eefodla'aan, iyo teraafiimla'aan.

And like this the Israelites will live for a long time without king and without prince, without sacrifice and without pillar, without ephod and without teraphim.

5 Oo markaas dabadeedna dadka Israa'iil way soo noqon doonaan, oo waxay doondooni doonaan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, iyo Daa'uud oo boqorkooda ah, oo ugu dambaysta ayay cabsi ula iman doonaan Rabbigooda iyo wanaaggiisa.

Yet afterward the Israelites will return, and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king, and in the days to come they will turn with awe to the Lord and his goodness.
