Oséias 3

1 Yahweh me disse: “Vá novamente, ame uma mulher amada por outra, e uma adúltera, assim como Yahweh ama as crianças de Israel, embora elas se voltem para outros deuses, e ame bolos de passas”.

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 So Comprei-a para mim por quinze moedas de prata e um homer e meio de cevada.

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

3 Eu disse a ela: “Você ficará comigo por muitos dias. Não farás de prostituta e não estarás com nenhum outro homem”. Eu também o serei para você”.

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 Para os filhos de Israel viverão muitos dias sem rei, sem príncipe, sem sacrifício, sem pedra sagrada e sem éfode ou ídolos.

[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 Depois disso os filhos de Israel voltarão e buscarão a Javé seu Deus, e Davi seu rei, e virão com tremor para Javé e para suas bênçãos nos últimos dias.

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.
