Hosea 3

1 Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Dhiyo, inyis herani ni chiegi kendo, kata obedo ni ohere gi ngʼama chielo, kendo en jachode. Here kaka Nyasaye ohero jo-Israel, kata obedo ni gisebaro ka gihero nyiseche moko kendo gihero chiwonigi misengini mag mzabibu motwo.”

2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

Omiyo ne angʼiewe kuom shekel apar gabich mag fedha gi gunde ariyo mag shairi.

3 And I said to her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

Eka ne awachone niya, “Nyaka idag koda kuom ndalo mathoth; nyaka iwe timbegi mag chode kata riwori gi ngʼato, to abiro dak kodi.”

4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

Nimar jo-Israel biro dak ndalo mangʼeny ka gionge gi ruoth kata jotelo, ka ok gitim misango maonge kido moro milamo, kata law akor mar dolo miluongo ni efod kata nyiseche manono.

5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

To bangʼe jo-Israel biro duogo ka gidwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi gi Daudi ruodhgi. Ginibi ka gitetni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo e gwethne e ndalo mogik.
