Osea 3

1 E l’Eterno mi disse: “Va’ ancora, e ama una donna amata da un amante e adultera, come l’Eterno ama i figliuoli d’Israele, i quali anch’essi si volgono ad altri dèi, e amano le schiacciate d’uva”.

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.

2 Io me la comprai dunque per quindici sicli d’argento, per un omer d’orzo e per un lethec d’orzo,

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

3 e le dissi: “Stattene per parecchio tempo aspettando me: non ti prostituire e non darti ad alcun uomo; e io farò lo stesso per te”.

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.

4 Poiché i figliuoli d’Israele staranno per parecchio tempo senza re, senza capo, senza sacrifizio e senza statua, senza efod e senza idoli domestici.

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.

5 Poi i figliuoli d’Israele torneranno a cercare l’Eterno, il loro Dio, e Davide loro re, e ricorreranno tremanti all’Eterno e alla sua bontà, negli ultimi giorni.

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.
