| 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 the LORD said unto me: 'Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend and an adulteress, even as the LORD loveth the children of Israel, 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 Israel 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 Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days. {P} |
