¹Then 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.

¹In GOSPOD mi je rekel: Pojdi zopet, ljubi ženo, ki jo ljubi njen prijatelj, ona pa prešeštvuje: kakor ljubi GOSPOD sinove Izraelove, ki se pa obračajo do drugih bogov in ljubijo grozdne kolače.

²So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

²In dobil sem si jo za petnajst srebrnikov in za homer in pol homerja ječmena.

³And 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.

³In dejal sem ji: Veliko dni mi ostani samotna, ne nečistuj in se ne pečaj z nobenim možem; pa tudi jaz bodem enako do tebe.

⁴For 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:

⁴Kajti veliko dni ostanejo sinovi Izraelovi brez kralja in brez kneza, brez klalne daritve in brez poslikanega stebra in brez naramnika in brez hišnih malikov.Potem se izpreobrnejo sinovi Izraelovi in bodo iskali GOSPODA, Boga svojega, in Davida, kralja svojega; in pritrepetajo h GOSPODU in k dobroti njegovi v poslednjih dneh.

⁵Afterward 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.

⁵Potem se izpreobrnejo sinovi Izraelovi in bodo iskali GOSPODA, Boga svojega, in Davida, kralja svojega; in pritrepetajo h GOSPODU in k dobroti njegovi v poslednjih dneh.
