Oséias 3

1 Yahweh said to me, "Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."

2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer*3:2 1 homer is about 220 liters or 6 bushels and a half of barley. 3 I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you."

4 For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Yahweh and to his blessings in the last days.

Hōhea me te Wahine Pūremu

1 I mea anō a Ihowā ki ahau, "Tēnā anō haere, arohaina tētahi wahine e arohaina ana e te tangata, he wahine pūremu; kia rite ki te aroha o Ihowā ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ahakoa e anga atu ana ki ngā atua kē, ā, e matenui ana ki ngā keke karepe maroke."

2 Nā, hokona ana ia e ahau māku ki ngā pīhi hiriwa kotahi tekau mā rima ki te homa pārei, me te hāwhe homa pārei. 3 Ā, ka kī atu ki a ia, "Kia maha ngā rā e noho ai koe he mea taumau māku; kaua e kairau, kaua anō e riro i te tangata; ka pēnā anō ahau ki a koe."

4 He maha hoki ngā rā e noho ai ngā tama a Īharaira, kāhore he kīngi, kāhore he rangatira, kāhore he patunga tapu, kāhore hoki he pou, kāhore he epora, kāhore he terapimi. 5 Muri iho ka hoki mai ngā tama a Īharaira, ka rapu i a Ihowā, i tō rātou Atua, i a Rāwiri anō, i tō rātou kīngi. Ka haere mai i runga i te wehi ki a Ihowā, ki tōna pai anō i ngā rā whakamutunga.
