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.”

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 for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels and a half of barley.

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

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.”

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 live many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

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 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.

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.
