¹ Potom reče mi Gospod: Idi opet, ljubi ženu koju ljubi ljubavnik a ona čini preljubu, kao što Gospod ljubi sinove Izrailjeve a oni gledaju za tuđim bogovima i ljube žbanove vinske

² I kupih je za petnaest sikala srebra i gomor i po ječma.

³ I rekoh joj: Sedi kod mene dugo vremena, i ne kurvaj se, i ne budi drugog; tako ću i ja biti tvoj.

⁴ Jer će dugo vremena sinovi Izrailjevi sedeti bez cara i bez kneza i bez žrtve i bez stupa i bez oplećka i likova.

⁵ Posle će se obratiti i tražiće Gospoda Boga svog i Davida cara svog, i u strahu će pristupiti ka Gospodu i blagosti Njegovoj u poslednja vremena.

⁹ Da ne bude u tebe tuđeg boga, i bogu stranom nemoj se klanjati.

¹⁷ Thus says Yahweh, "In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold, I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

¹⁸ The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river."'"

¹⁹ Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"

²⁰ Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

²¹ The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

²² The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.

²³ Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.

²⁴ All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.

²⁵ Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.
