¹A Hospodin mi riekol: Iď ešte a zamiluj si ženu, milovanú od priateľa a cudzoložnú, jako miluje Hospodin synov Izraelových, kým oni sa obracajú tvárou k iným bohom a milujú hroznové hrudy.

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.”

²A tak som si ju kúpil za pätnásť striebra a za pol druha chomera jačmeňa.

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.

³A povedal som jej: Seď mi za mnoho dní, nesmilni a nebuď nikomu ženou, a taký budem i ja naproti tebe.

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.”

⁴Lebo za mnoho dní budú sedieť synovia Izraelovi bez kráľa a bez kniežaťa, bez obeti a bez modly, bez efoda a bez domácich bohov.

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.

⁵Potom sa navrátia synovia Izraelovi a budú hľadať Hospodina, svojho Boha, a Dávida, svojho kráľa, a strachom pobežia k Hospodinovi a k jeho dobrote v posledných dňoch.

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.
