Hoshea 3:1-5
3 Pashishe, Yehowa wakangambila ne: “Ndaku kabidi, unange mukaji udibu banange kudi mulume mukuabu ne udi wenda masandi,+ anu bu mudi Yehowa munange bantu ba Isalele+ padibu eku baya kudi nzambi mikuabu+ ne bananga mikata ya tumuma tua mvinyo.”*
2 Nunku, ngakamupeta ku bitupa 15 bia arjan ne tshipiminu tshimue ne tshitupa tshia homer * wa orje.
3 Pashishe ngakamuambila ne: “Neushale wanyi meme matuku a bungi. Kuena ne bua kuenda bundumba* to, ne kuena ne bua kulala ne mulume mukuabu to, ne meme nenkuenzele malu mushindu wa muomumue.”*
4 Bidi nanku bualu bantu ba mu Isalele nebashale tshikondo tshile* kabayi ne mukalenge,+ kabayi ne mukokeshi, kabayi ne mulambu, kabayi ne dikunji, kabayi ne efoda+ ne mpingu ya telafima* to.+
5 Pashishe, bantu ba Isalele nebapingane, nebakebe Yehowa Nzambi wabu+ ne Davidi mukalenge wabu,+ nebalue kudi Yehowa ne ku buimpe buende ku ndekelu kua matuku benda bazakala.+
