Hosea 3

1 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of Jehovah, the sons of Israel, and they are turning unto other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.'

Et dixit Dominus ad me: Adhuc vade, et dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram: sicut diligit Dominus filios Israel, et ipsi respiciunt ad deos alienos, et diligunt vinacia uvarum.

2 And I buy her to me for fifteen silverlings, and a homer and a letech of barley;

Et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis, et coro hordei, et dimidio coro hordei.

3 and I say unto her, 'Many days thou dost remain for Me, thou dost not go a-whoring, nor become any one's; and I also [am] for thee.'

Et dixi ad eam: Dies multos expectabis me: non fornicaberis, et non eris viro: sed et ego expectabo te.

4 For many days remain do the sons of Israel without a king, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.

quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israel sine rege, et sine principe, et sine sacrificio, et sine altari, et sine ephod, et sine theraphim.

5 Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days.

et post hæc revertentur filii Israel, et quærent Dominum Deum suum, et David regem suum: et pavebunt ad Dominum, et ad bonum eius in novissimo dierum.
