Hozejas 3

1 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.

The Lord told me, “Go again and love a woman who is loved by another and who is committing adultery, just as the Lord loves the children of Israel, even though they turn to other gods and love their sensual worship.”

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

So I bought her back for fifteen shekels of silver and one and half homer of barley.

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

I told her, “You must remain with me for many days and you shall stop your prostitution. You shall not be intimate with any man, and then I shall be yours.”

4 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.

For the people of Israel shall be without a king or a prince, without a sacrifice or a stone pillar or a pagan image or an idolatrous shrine for a long time.

5 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.

After this, the people of Israel will return and dedicate themselves to the Lord their God and to the line of David their king. In the last days they will come with awe and reverence for the Lord and his goodness.
