< هُوشَع 3 >

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «ٱذْهَبْ أَيْضًا أَحْبِبِ ٱمْرَأَةً حَبِيبَةَ صَاحِبٍ وَزَانِيَةً، كَمَحَبَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُمْ مُلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَمُحِبُّونَ لِأَقْرَاصِ ٱلزَّبِيبِ». ١ 1
Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by [her] friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD towards the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
فَٱشْتَرَيْتُهَا لِنَفْسِي بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ وَبِحُومَرَ وَلَثَكِ شَعِيرٍ. ٢ 2
So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and [for] a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley:
وَقُلْتُ لَهَا: «تَقْعُدِينَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً لَا تَزْنِي وَلَا تَكُونِي لِرَجُلٍ، وَأَنَا كَذَلِكَ لَكِ». ٣ 3
And I said to 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.
لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَيَقْعُدُونَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً بِلَا مَلِكٍ، وَبِلَا رَئِيسٍ، وَبِلَا ذَبِيحَةٍ، وَبِلَا تِمْثَالٍ، وَبِلَا أَفُودٍ وَتَرَافِيمَ. ٤ 4
For 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:
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَعُودُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَطْلُبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَدَاوُدَ مَلِكَهُمْ، وَيَفْزَعُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَإِلَى جُودِهِ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٥ 5
Afterward 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.
