< Hosea 3 >

1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go and show to your wife that you still love her, even though she has been committing adultery with another man who loves her. [That will show that] I still love the people of Israel, even though they worship other gods/idols and eat raisin cakes [in feasts that honor those gods].”
Opět řekl mi Hospodin: Ještě jdi, a zamiluj ženu, milou frejíři a cizoložnou, tak jako miluje Hospodin syny Izraelské, ačkoli oni hledí k bohům cizím, a milují kádě vína.
2 [My wife had become a slave, ] but I bought her for (6 ounces/179 grams) of silver and ten bushels of barley.
Tedy zjednal jsem ji sobě z patnácti stříbrných a z půldruhého chomeru ječmene.
3 Then I said to her, “You must wait for many days [before we sleep together] [EUP]. During that time, you must not be a prostitute, and you must not have sex with any other man; but I will live with you.”
A řekl jsem jí: Za mnoho dnů seď mi, nesmilni, aniž se vdávej za muže, a já také příčinou tvou.
4 [Our doing that will show that] in the same way, the people of Israel will not have a king and [other] leaders for many years. They will not offer sacrifices or [have sacred stone] pillars, no sacred vest [for the Supreme Priest], and no idols!
Nebo za mnohé dny budou synové Izraelští bez krále, bez knížete, bez oběti, bez modly, bez efodu a terafim.
5 But later, the people of Israel will return to Yahweh their God and [be guided by him and] by a king who is a descendant of [King] David. In the last/future days they will come to Yahweh, revering him and trembling [in his presence], and he will bless them.
Potom pak obrátí se synové Izraelští, a hledati budou Hospodina Boha svého i Davida krále svého; a předěšeni jsouce, poběhnou k Hospodinu a k dobrotě jeho v posledních časích.
