Hosea 3

1 And the Lord said to me: “Go yet again, and love a woman, beloved by a friend, yet an adulteress, for so does the Lord love the sons of Israel, yet they look to strange gods, and love the seeds of grapes.”

Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: noej atkal, mīli vienu sievu, kas top mīlēta no sava drauga un tomēr pārkāpj laulību, tā kā Tas Kungs Israēla bērnus mīl, bet tie griežas pie citiem dieviem un iemīl vīna ogu raušus.

2 And I contracted her to me for fifteen silver coins, and for a basket of barley, and half a basket of barley.

Un es to sev pirku par piecpadsmit sudraba gabaliem un pusotru omeru miežu.

3 And I said to her, “You will wait for me for many days. You will not commit fornication, and you will not be with a man. But I also will wait for you.”

Un es uz viņu sacīju: daudz dienas tu man sēdēsi un nedzīsi maucību, nedz būsi pie vīra: tāpat es turēšos pret tevi.

4 For the sons of Israel will sit for many days without a king, and without a leader, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without priestly vestments, and without religious symbols.

Jo Israēla bērni paliks ilgu laiku bez ķēniņa un bez valdītāja un bez upura un bez altāra un bez plecu segas(efoda) un bez tēliem.

5 And after this, the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek the Lord their God and David their king, and they will be terrified by the Lord and by his goodness, in the last days.

Pēc tam Israēla bērni atgriezīsies un meklēs To Kungu, savu Dievu, un Dāvidu, savu ķēniņu, un nāks bīdamies pie Tā Kunga un pie Viņa žēlastības pēdīgās dienās.
