Hosea 3

1 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.

YHWH said to me, "Go again, love a woman who loves another, and is an adulteress, even as YHWH loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."

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

So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.

3 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.

I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you."

4 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.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

5 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.

Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek YHWH their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to YHWH and to his blessings in the last days.
