Osee 3
1And 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.Καὶ εἶπε, Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἔτι πορεύθητι, καὶ ἀγάπησον γυναῖκα ἀγαπῶσαν πονηρὰ, καὶ μοιχαλὶν, καθὼς ἀγαπᾷ ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐπιβλέπουσιν ἐπὶ θεοὺς αλλοτρίους, καὶ φιλοῦσι πέμματα μετὰ σταφίδος.
2So I hired her to myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.Καὶ ἐμισθωσάμην ἐμαυτῷ πεντεκαίδεκα ἀργυρίου, καὶ γομὸρ κριθῶν, καὶ νέβελ οἴνου.
3And 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.Καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτὴν, ἡμέρας πολλὰς καθήσῃ ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, καὶ οὐ μὴ πορνεύσῃς, οὐδὲ μὴ γένῃ ἀνδρὶ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σοί.
4For 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.Διότι ἡμέρας πολλὰς καθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ὄντος βασιλέως, οὐδὲ ὄντος ἄρχοντος, οὐδὲ οὔσης θυσίας, οὐδὲ ὄντος θυσιαστηρ ίου, οὐδὲ ἱερατείας, οὐδὲ δήλων.
5And 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.Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπιζητήσουσι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ Δαυὶδ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκστήσονται ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν.
