هُوشَع 3

١ 1 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ ثَانِيَةً وَأَحْبِبِ امْرَأَةً عَشِيقَةَ آخَرَ، زَانِيَةً، أَحْبِبْهَا كَمَحَبَّةِ الرَّبِّ لِشَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ ضَلالِهِمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَوَلَعِهِمْ بِتَقْدِيمِ قَرَابِينِ الزَّبِيبِ لَهُمْ.

And he said Yahweh to me again go love a woman [who] is loved of a companion and [who] commits adultery as loves Yahweh [the] people of Israel and they [are] turning to gods other and [are] loving cakes of grapes.

٢ 2 فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ شَاقِلاً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ جِرَاماً)، وَبِحُومَرَ وَنِصْفِ حُومَرَ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ لِتْراً)،

And I bought her for myself for fif-teen silver and a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.

٣ 3 وَقُلْتُ لَهَا: تَمْكُثِينَ مِلْكاً خَالِصاً لِي أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً لَا تَزْنِينَ وَلا تَكُونِينَ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ وَأَكُونُ أَنَا كَذَلِكَ لَكِ.

And I said to her days many you will dwell to me not you must prostitute yourself and not you must belong to a man and also I to you.

٤ 4 لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْكُثُونَ أَمَداً طَوِيلاً مِنْ غَيْرِ مَلِكٍ أَوْ أَمِيرٍ، وَمِنْ غَيْرِ ذَبِيحَةٍ وَلا تَمَاثِيلَ وَلا أَفُودٍ وَلا تَرَافِيمَ.

For - days many they will dwell [the] people of Israel there not [will be] a king and there not [will be] a prince and there not [will be] sacrifice and there not [will be] a pillar and there not [will be] an ephod and teraphim.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ أَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَطْلُبُونَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ، وَدَاوُدَ مَلِكَهُمْ، وَيَلْتَمِسُونَ بِرَهْبَةٍ الرَّبَّ وَجُودَهُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ».

After they will return [the] people of Israel and they will seek Yahweh God their and David king their and they will be in dread to Yahweh and to goodness his at [the] end of the days.
