Yna yr Arglwydd a ddywedodd wrthyf, Dos eto, câr wraig, (hoff gan ei chyfaill, a hithau wedi torri ei phriodas,) yn ôl cariad yr Arglwydd ar feibion Israel, a hwythau yn edrych ar ôl duwiau dieithr, ac yn hoffi costrelau gwin. A mi a’i prynais hi i mi er pymtheg o arian, ac er homer o haidd, a hanner homer o haidd: A dywedais wrthi, Aros amdanaf lawer o ddyddiau; na phuteinia, ac na fydd i ŵr arall: a minnau a fyddaf felly i tithau. Canys llawer o ddyddiau yr erys meibion Israel heb frenin, a heb dywysog, a heb aberth, a heb ddelw, a heb effod, a heb deraffim. Wedi hynny y dychwel meibion Israel, ac y ceisiant yr Arglwydd eu Duw, a Dafydd eu brenin; ac a barchant yr Arglwydd a’i ddaioni yn y dyddiau diwethaf.

Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife

The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.(A) Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.(B)

So I bought her for fifteen shekels[a] of silver and about a homer and a lethek[b] of barley. Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince,(C) without sacrifice(D) or sacred stones,(E) without ephod(F) or household gods.(G) Afterward the Israelites will return and seek(H) the Lord their God and David their king.(I) They will come trembling(J) to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.(K)
