Hosea 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress : as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.	1 Potom mi Jahve reče: »Idi opet, ljubi ženu koja drugog ljubi i čini preljub, kao što Jahve ljubi djecu Izraelovu dok se oni k drugim bogovima okreću i žude za kolačima od grožđa.«
2 And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.	2 Ja je tad kupih za petnaest srebrnika, za homer i letek ječma,
3 And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man's, and I also will wait for thee.	3 i rekoh joj: »Za mnogo dana ostat ćeš mi povučena, nećeš se odavati bludu ni podavati nikojem čovjeku, a ni ja neću k tebi prilaziti.«
4 For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.	4 Jer mnogo će dana sinovi Izraelovi ostati bez kralja i bez kneza, bez žrtve i bez stupa, bez oplećka i bez kumira.
5 And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.	5 Poslije toga, sinovi će se Izraelovi vratiti; tražit će Jahvu, Boga svoga, i Davida, svoga kralja; sa strahom će pristupiti k Jahvi i k njegovim dobrima, na kraju danâ.
