The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 hen God ordered me, "Start all over: Love your wife again, your wife who's in bed with her latest boyfriend, your cheating wife. Love her the way I, God, love the Israelite people, even as they flirt and party with every god that takes their fancy."
1
et dixit Dominus ad me adhuc vade dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram sicut diligit Dominus filios Israhel et ipsi respectant ad deos alienos et diligunt vinacea uvarum
2 I did it. I paid good money to get her back. It cost me the price of a slave.
2
et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis et choro hordei et dimidio choro hordei
3 Then I told her, "From now on you're living with me. No more whoring, no more sleeping around. You're living with me and I'm living with you."
3
et dixi ad eam dies multos expectabis me non fornicaberis et non eris viro sed et ego expectabo te
4 The people of Israel are going to live a long time stripped of security and protection, without religion and comfort, godless and prayerless.
4
quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israhel sine rege et sine principe et sine sacrificio et sine altari et sine ephod et sine therafin
5 But in time they'll come back, these Israelites, come back looking for their God and their David-King. They'll come back chastened to reverence before God and his good gifts, ready for the End of the story of his love.
5
et post haec revertentur filii Israhel et quaerent Dominum Deum suum et David regem suum et pavebunt ad Dominum et ad bonum eius in novissimo dierum
