Hosea Chapter 3 הוֹשֵׁעַ


א וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי, עוֹד לֵךְ אֱהַב-אִשָּׁה, אֲהֻבַת רֵעַ, וּמְנָאָפֶת:  כְּאַהֲבַת יְהוָה, אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְהֵם פֹּנִים אֶל-אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים, וְאֹהֲבֵי אֲשִׁישֵׁי עֲנָבִים. 1 And YAHOWAH said unto me: 'Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend and an adulteress, even as YAHOWAH loveth the children of Yisrael, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
ב וָאֶכְּרֶהָ לִּי, בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר כָּסֶף; וְחֹמֶר שְׂעֹרִים, וְלֵתֶךְ שְׂעֹרִים. 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;
ג וָאֹמַר אֵלֶיהָ, יָמִים רַבִּים תֵּשְׁבִי לִי--לֹא תִזְנִי, וְלֹא תִהְיִי לְאִישׁ; וְגַם-אֲנִי, אֵלָיִךְ. 3 and I said unto her: 'Thou shalt sit solitary for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man's wife; nor will I be thine.'
ד כִּי יָמִים רַבִּים, יֵשְׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--אֵין מֶלֶךְ וְאֵין שָׂר, וְאֵין זֶבַח וְאֵין מַצֵּבָה; וְאֵין אֵפוֹד, וּתְרָפִים. 4 For the children of Yisrael shall sit solitary many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim;
ה אַחַר, יָשֻׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּבִקְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם, וְאֵת דָּוִיד מַלְכָּם; וּפָחֲדוּ אֶל-יְהוָה וְאֶל-טוּבוֹ, בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים.  {פ} 5 afterward shall the children of Yisrael return, and seek YAHOWAH their Eloheem, and David their king; and shall come trembling unto YAHOWAH and to His goodness in the end of days. {P}
