L'Éternel me dit: Va encore, et aime une femme aimée d'un amant, et adultère; aime-la comme l'Éternel aime les enfants d'Israël, qui se tournent vers d'autres dieux et qui aiment les gâteaux de raisins.

Je l'achetai pour quinze sicles d'argent, un homer d'orge et un léthec d'orge.

Et je lui dis: Reste longtemps pour moi, ne te livre pas à la prostitution, ne sois à aucun homme, et je serai de même envers toi.

Car les enfants d'Israël resteront longtemps sans roi, sans chef, sans sacrifice, sans statue, sans éphod, et sans théraphim.

Après cela, les enfants d'Israël reviendront; ils chercheront l'Éternel, leur Dieu, et David, leur roi; et ils tressailliront à la vue de l'Éternel et de sa bonté, dans la suite des temps.

Israel Will Return to God

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a (A)lover[a] and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.

So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. And I said to her, “You shall (B)stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”

For the children of Israel shall abide many days (C)without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without (D)ephod or (E)teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and (F)seek the Lord their God and (G)David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the (H)latter days.

Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife

The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.(A) Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.(B)

So I bought her for fifteen shekels[a] of silver and about a homer and a lethek[b] of barley. Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince,(C) without sacrifice(D) or sacred stones,(E) without ephod(F) or household gods.(G) Afterward the Israelites will return and seek(H) the Lord their God and David their king.(I) They will come trembling(J) to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.(K)
