Hosea 3

Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of 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.

Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana indray, tiava vehivavy izay tian'ny vadiny nefa mijangajanga, dia tahaka ny fitiavan'i Jehovah ny Zanak'Isiraely, nefa ireo kosa dia mihodina ho amin'izay andriamani-kafa sady tia ampempam-boaloboka.

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

Ka dia novidiko sekely volafotsy dimy ambin'ny folo sy vary hordea homera iray sy tapany izy.

And I said unto 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.

Ary hoy izaho taminy: Andro maro no hitoeranao miandry ahy; fa tsy havela hijangajanga na hanambady olon-kafa ianao; ary izaho koa dia ho toy izany aminao.

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:

Fa andro maro no hitoeran'ny Zanak'Isiraely tsy hanana mpanjaka, na mpanapaka, na fanatitra, na tsangam-bato, na efoda, na terafima.

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.

Rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina ny Zanak'Isiraely ka hitady an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny sy Davida mpanjakany; ary nandeha amin-kovitra hanatona an'i Jehovah sy ny fahasoavany izy, raha mby any amparany.
