Oseas 3

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Yahveh me dijo: «Ve otra vez, ama a una mujer que ama a otro y comete adulterio, como ama Yahveh a los hijos de Israel, mientras ellos se vuelven a otros dioses y gustan de las tortas de uva».	1 And the Lord said to me: “Go yet again, and love a woman, beloved by a friend, yet an adulteress, for so does the Lord love the sons of Israel, yet they look to strange gods, and love the seeds of grapes.”
2 Yo me la compré por quince siclos de plata y carga y media de cebada.	2 And I contracted her to me for fifteen silver coins, and for a basket of barley, and half a basket of barley.
3 Y le dije: «Durante muchos días te me quedarás quieta sin prostituirte ni ser de ningún hombre, y yo haré lo mismo contigo».	3 And I said to her, “You will wait for me for many days. You will not commit fornication, and you will not be with a man. But I also will wait for you.”
4 Porque durante muchos días se quedarán los hijos de Israel sin rey ni príncipe, sin sacrificios ni estela, sin efod ni terafim.	4 For the sons of Israel will sit for many days without a king, and without a leader, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without priestly vestments, and without religious symbols.
5 Después volverán los hijos de Israel; buscarán a Yahveh su Dios y a David, su rey, y acudirán con temor a Yahveh y a sus bienes en los días venidores.	5 And after this, the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek the Lord their God and David their king, and they will be terrified by the Lord and by his goodness, in the last days.
