1وقال الرب لي اذهب ايضا احبب امرأة حبيبة صاحب وزانية كمحبة الرب لبني اسرائيل وهم ملتفتون الى آلهة اخرى ومحبّون لاقراص الزبيب.
1Yahweh 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.”
2فاشتريتها لنفسي بخمسة عشر شاقل فضة وبحومر ولثك شعير.
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels and a half of barley.
3وقلت لها تقعدين اياما كثيرة لا تزني ولا تكوني لرجل وانا كذلك لك.
3I 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.”
4لان بني اسرائيل سيقعدون اياما كثيرة بلا ملك وبلا رئيس وبلا ذبيحة وبلا تمثال وبلا افود وترافيم.
4For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.
5بعد ذلك يعود بنو اسرائيل ويطلبون الرب الههم وداود ملكهم ويفزعون الى الرب والى جوده في آخر الايام
5Afterward 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.
