Osee Propheta 3

1 et dixit Dominus ad me adhuc vade dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram sicut diligit Dominus filios Israhel et ipsi respectant ad deos alienos et diligunt vinacea uvarum

Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go again, show love to this woman, who is loved by another, who commits adultery. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods, and love the raisin cakes offered to idols.

2 et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis et choro hordei et dimidio choro hordei

So I redeemed her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek of barley.

3 et dixi ad eam dies multos expectabis me non fornicaberis et non eris viro sed et ego expectabo te

And I told her, ‘You must live with me for many days and you must not sleep around or marry another. And I will do the same for you.

4 quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israhel sine rege et sine principe et sine sacrificio et sine altari et sine ephod et sine therafin

And like this the Israelites will live for a long time without king and without prince, without sacrifice and without pillar, without ephod and without teraphim.

5 et post haec revertentur filii Israhel et quaerent Dominum Deum suum et David regem suum et pavebunt ad Dominum et ad bonum eius in novissimo dierum

Yet afterward the Israelites will return, and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king, and in the days to come they will turn with awe to the Lord and his goodness.
