Osee 3

1 And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.

Potom reèe mi Gospod: idi opet, ljubi ženu koju ljubi ljubavnik a ona èini preljubu, kao što Gospod ljubi sinove Izrailjeve a oni gledaju za tuðim bogovima i ljube žbanove vinske.

2 So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.

I kupih je za petnaest sikala srebra i gomor i po jeèma.

3 And I said to her, You shall wait for me many days; and you shall not commit fornication, neither shall you be for [another] man; and I [will be] for you.

I rekoh joj: sjedi kod mene dugo vremena, i ne kurvaj se, i ne budi drugoga; tako æu i ja biti tvoj.

4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.

Jer æe dugo vremena sinovi Izrailjevi sjedjeti bez cara i bez kneza i bez žrtve i bez stupa i bez opleæka i likova.

5 And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.

Poslije æe se obratiti i tražiæe Gospoda Boga svojega i Davida cara svojega, i u strahu æe pristupiti ka Gospodu i blagosti njegovoj u pošljednja vremena.
