| 1 | Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. | And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of [her] friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins. | L'Eterno mi disse ancora: Va' ama una donna amata da un amante e adultera, come l'Eterno ama i figli d'Israele, benché essi si volgano ad altri dèi e amino le schiacciate d'uva. |
| 2 | So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: | So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley; | Così io me la comprai per quindici sicli d'argento e per un homer e mezzo di orzo, |
| 3 | And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee. | and I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man`s wife: so will I also be toward thee. | e le dissi: Tu starai con me molti giorni, non ti prostituirai e non sarai di alcun uomo; io farò lo stesso con te. |
| 4 | For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: | For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim: | Poiché i figli d'Israele staranno per molti giorni senza re, senza capo, senza sacrificio e senza colonna sacra, senza efod e senza idoli domestici. |
| 5 | Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days. | afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days. | Poi i figli d'Israele torneranno a cercare l'Eterno, il loro DIO, e Davide, loro re, e si volgeranno tremanti all'Eterno e alla sua bontà negli ultimi giorni. |
