Oséias 3:1-5

A reconciliação de Oseias com a sua mulher

1Disse-me o Senhor: “Vai ter novamente com a tua mulher, trá-la para junto de ti e ama-a, ainda que ela continue a amar o adultério. Porque o Senhor continua a amar Israel, ainda que se tenha voltado para outros deuses, oferecendo-lhes bolos de passas!”

2Então comprei-a de novo para mim, em troca de 170 gramas de prata e de 330 litros de cevada. 3E disse-lhe: “Deverás ficar aqui comigo por muito tempo. Não irás com outros homens nem te prostituirás! Também eu serei fiel!”

4Isto ilustra o facto de que Israel estará muito tempo sem rei nem governantes, e sem um altar, nem coluna sagrada, nem sacerdotes, nem mesmo ídolos! 5Posteriormente voltar-se-ão para o Senhor, seu Deus, para o descendente de David, o seu rei; virão tremendo e buscando o Senhor e as suas bênçãos, no fim dos tempos.

New International Reader’s Version

Hosea 3:1-5

Hosea Brings His Wife Back to Himself

1The Lord said to me, “Go. Show your love to your wife again. She is loved by another man. And she has committed adultery. But I want you to love her just as I love the people of Israel. They turn to other gods. And they love to offer raisin cakes to Baal and eat them. In spite of that, I love my people.”

2So I bought Gomer for six ounces of silver and 430 pounds of barley. 3Then I told her, “You must wait for me for a long time. You must not be a prostitute. You must not have sex with any man. And I will be faithful to you too.”

4So the people of Israel will live for a long time without a king or prince. They won’t have sacrifices or sacred stones. They won’t have sacred linen aprons or statues of family gods. 5After that, the people of Israel will return to the Lord their God. They will look to him and to a king from the family line of David. In the last days, they will tremble with fear as they come to the Lord. And they will receive his full blessing.
