| 1 | And Jehovah will say to me, Yet go, love a woman loving evil and an adulteress, as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, and they took to other gods and love raisin-cakes. | And the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” | The LORD said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.” | |
| 2 | And I shall buy her to me for fifteen of silver, and an homer of barley, and a measure of barley: | So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. | So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley. | |
| 3 | And saying to her, Many days thou shalt well with me; and thou shalt not commit fornication, and thou shalt not be for a man: and also I am for thee. | And I said to her, “You must dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” | 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.” | |
| 4 | For many days shall the sons of Israel dwell, not a king and not a chief and not a sacrifice and not a pillar and it one ephod and teraphim. | For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. | For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods. | |
| 5 | Afterward the sons of Israel shall turn back and they sought Jehovah their God, and David their king; and they trembled at Jehovah and at his goodness in the last of the days. | Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days. | Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days. | |
