Oseas y la mujer adúltera

El Señor volvió a decirme:
«Ve y ama a una mujer
amada de su amigo y adúltera.
Así ama el Señor a los israelitas,
aunque ellos se vuelven a dioses extraños
    y comen de las tortas de pasas que les ofrecen.»
Entonces adquirí una mujer para mí
por quince monedas de plata
y trescientos treinta litros de cebada.
Le dije: «Por mucho tiempo serás mía;
no te prostituyas ni te entregues a otro hombre,
y yo también te seré fiel.»

Pues por mucho tiempo los israelitas
estarán sin rey ni jefe,
sin sacrificio ni piedras sagradas,
sin ropas sacerdotales ni ídolos familiares.
Después de esto se volverán los israelitas
y buscarán al Señor su Dios
y a David su rey.
En los últimos tiempos
acudirán con reverencia al Señor
y a los bienes que él concede.

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.

  1. Hosea 3:1 Lit. friend or husband

Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
