Her Purchase Price
1 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.
Bwana akaniambia, Enenda tena, mpende mwanamke apendwaye na rafiki yake, naye ni mzinzi; kama vile Bwana awapendavyo wana wa Israeli, ingawa wanaigeukia miungu mingine, na kupenda mikate ya zabibu kavu.
2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
Basi nikajinunulia mwanamke huyo kwa vipande kumi na vitano vya fedha, na homeri moja ya shayiri, na nusu ya homeri ya shayiri;
3 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.
nami nilimwambia, Utatawa kwa ajili yangu siku nyingi; hutafanya mambo ya ukahaba, wala hutakuwa mke wa mtu awaye yote; nami nitakuwa hali iyo hiyo kwa ajili yako.
Israel's Return
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:
Kwa maana wana wa Israeli watakaa siku nyingi bila mfalme, wala mtu mkuu, wala sadaka, wala nguzo, wala naivera, wala kinyago;
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.
baada ya hayo wana wa Israeli watarejea, na kumtafuta Bwana, Mungu wao, na Daudi, mfalme wao; nao watamwendea Bwana na wema wake kwa kicho siku za mwisho.
