Hosea 3

1 And the Lord said to me: “Go yet again, and love a woman, beloved by a friend, yet an adulteress, for so does the Lord love the sons of Israel, yet they look to strange gods, and love the seeds of grapes.”

Le hoe t’Iehovà amako; Akia rehe: Ikokò ty rakemba ikokoan-tsakeza’e, ie toe karapilo, manahake ty fikokoa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, ie mitolik’ aman-drahare ila’e vaho mpitea mofom-balòboke.

2 And I contracted her to me for fifteen silver coins, and for a basket of barley, and half a basket of barley.

Aa le viniliko ho ahiko re ami’ty volafoty folo-lim’amby naho ampemba omere raike naho tampa’e;

3 And I said to her, “You will wait for me for many days. You will not commit fornication, and you will not be with a man. But I also will wait for you.”

le hoe raho ama’e, Himoneñe amako andro maro rehe; fa tsy hihisa ankarapiloañe ka, naho tsy hiharo amy t’indaty ila’e; le hoe zay ka izaho ama’o.

4 For the sons of Israel will sit for many days without a king, and without a leader, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without priestly vestments, and without religious symbols.

Amy te himoneñe andro maro tsy amam-panjàka tsy aman-Talè, tsy aman-tsòroñe, tsy aman-tsamposampo, tsy aman’efode vaho tsy aman-terafeme o nte-Israeleo.

5 And after this, the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek the Lord their God and David their king, and they will be terrified by the Lord and by his goodness, in the last days.

Ie modo zay, le himpoly o ana’ Israeleo, hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, naho i Davide mpanjaka’ iareo; vaho hañeveñe am’ Iehovà naho i fatariha’ey amo andro sehanga’eo.
