Hosea 3

1 And the LORD said unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of [her] friend and an adulteress, even as the LORD loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins.

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 bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

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

3 and I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man’s wife: so will I also be toward thee.

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 king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or 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 shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall come with fear unto the LORD and to 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.
