3 — Osea

1And 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.Or il Signore mi disse: Va ancora, ed ama una donna amata dall'amico, e adultera: appunto come il Signore ama i figliuoli d'Israele, ed eglino volgon gli sguardi agli dei stranieri, ed amano le vinacce.AND our Lord sayd to me: Yet againe goe, loue a woman beloued of her frend, and an aduoutresse; as our Lord loueth the children of Israel, and they haue respect to strange goddes, and loue the kernels of grapes.Et dixit Dominus ad me: Adhuc vade, et dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram, sicut diligit Dominus filios Israël, et ipsi respiciunt ad deos alienos, et diligunt vinacia uvarum. 2And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.Ed io me la comperai per quindici monete d'argento, e un coro di orzo, e mezzo coro di erano.And I digged her vnto me for fiftene peeces of siluer, and for a core of barley, and for halfe a core of barley.Et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis, et coro hordei, et dimidio coro hordæi. 3And 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.Ed io le disse: Tu mi aspetterai molti giorni, non commetterai adulterio, e starai senza uomo: ma io pure ti aspetterò;And I sayd to her: Thou shalt expect me manie dayes: thou shalt not fornicate, & thou shalt be no mans: but I also wil expect thee.Et dixi ad eam: Dies multos exspectabis me; non fornicaberis, et non eris viro; sed et ego exspectabo te. 4For 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.Perocché molti giorni staranno i figliuoli d'Israele senza re, e senza principe, e senza sagrifizio, e senza altare, e senza ephod, e senza Theraphim;Because manie dayes shal the children of Israel sit without king, & without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.Quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israël sine rege, et sine principe, et sine sacrificio, et sine altari, et sine ephod, et sine theraphim. 5And 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.E dipoi torneranno i figliuoli di Israele a cercare il Signore Dio loro, e Davidde loro re, e si accosteranno con temenza al Signore, ed a' suoi beni alla fine de' giorni.And after this the children of Israel shal returne, & shal seeke the Lord their God, and Dauid their king: and they shal dread at the Lord, and at his goodnes in the last dayes.Et post hæc revertentur filii Israël, et quærent Dominum Deum suum, et David regem suum: et pavebunt ad Dominum, et ad bonum ejus, in novissimo dierum.
