Osée 3

1 Et le Seigneur m'a dit: Pars encore, aime une femme qui aime le mal, une femme adultère, comme Dieu aime les fils d'Israël, tandis qu'ils regardent les dieux étrangers, et se régalent de pâtes aux raisins.

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].”

2 Et moi, j'ai loué une telle femme quinze sicles d'argent et un gomor d'orge, et un nebel d'huile.

[My wife had become a slave, ] but I bought her for (6 ounces/179 grams) of silver and ten bushels of barley.

3 Et je lui ai dit: Tu te tiendras tranquille avec moi bien des jours; garde-toi de te prostituer; ne sois pas à un autre homme, et je te serai attaché.

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.”

4 Car les fils d'Israël seront bien des jours sans roi, sans chef, sans sacrifices, sans autels, sans sacerdoce, sans manifestation.

[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!

5 Et, après cela, les fils d'Israël se convertiront, et ils chercheront le Seigneur leur Dieu, et David leur roi, et ils seront pleins d'admiration, sur les derniers jours, pour le Seigneur et Ses bienfaits.

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.
