Hosea 3

1 And YHWH says to me: “Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of YHWH, the sons of Israel, and they are turning to other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.”

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 And I buy her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer and a lethech of barley;

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

3 and I say to her, “You remain many days for Me, you do not go whoring, nor become anyone’s; and I also [am] 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 sons of Israel remain without a king for many days, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.

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

5 Afterward the sons of Israel have turned back, and sought their God YHWH, and David their king, and have hurried to YHWH, and to His goodness, in the latter end of the 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.
