होशेय 3
1 १ परमेश्वर मला म्हणाला, परत जा, आणि अशा स्त्रीवर प्रेम कर जी दुराचारी असूनही आपल्या पतीस प्रिय आहे. तिच्यावर प्रेम कर जसे मी इस्राएल लोकांवर करतो जरी ते इतर देवतांकडे वळले आणि त्यांना मनुक्याची ढेप प्रिय वाटली.
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].”
[My wife had become a slave, ] but I bought her for (6 ounces/179 grams) of silver and ten bushels of barley.
3 ३ मी तिला म्हणालो, पुष्कळ दिवस तू माझ्यासोबत राहा; यापुढे तू वेश्या नाहीस किंवा परपुरुषाची नाहीस, त्याचप्रकारे मी पण तुझ्याशी वागेन.
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 ४ कारण इस्राएलचे लोक बरेच दिवस राजा, सरदार, बलीदान, दगडी खांब, एफोद आणि गृहदेवता ह्यांवाचून राहतील.
[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 ५ नंतर इस्राएलाचे लोक परत येतील व आपल्या देव परमेश्वर आणि राजा दावीद यांना शोधतील आणि शेवटच्या दिवसात, ते परमेश्वराच्या समोर त्याच्या चांगुलपणात भितीने कापत येतील.
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.
