Osija 3

1 Potom reèe mi Gospod: idi opet, ljubi ženu koju ljubi ljubavnik a ona èini preljubu, kao što Gospod ljubi sinove Izrailjeve a oni gledaju za tuðim bogovima i ljube žbanove vinske.

And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.

2 I kupih je za petnaest sikala srebra i gomor i po jeèma.

So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.

3 I rekoh joj: sjedi kod mene dugo vremena, i ne kurvaj se, i ne budi drugoga; tako æu i ja biti tvoj.

And I said to her, You shall wait for me many days; and you shall not commit fornication, neither shall you be for [another] man; and I [will be] for you.

4 Jer æe dugo vremena sinovi Izrailjevi sjedjeti bez cara i bez kneza i bez žrtve i bez stupa i bez opleæka i likova.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.

5 Poslije æe se obratiti i tražiæe Gospoda Boga svojega i Davida cara svojega, i u strahu æe pristupiti ka Gospodu i blagosti njegovoj u pošljednja vremena.

And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.
