何西阿书 3

1 耶和华对我说：“你再去爱一个淫妇，就是她情人所爱的；好像以色列人，虽然偏向别神，喜爱葡萄饼，耶和华还是爱他们。”

And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.

2 我便用银子十五舍客勒，大麦一贺梅珥半，买她归我。

So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.

3 我对她说：“你当多日为我独居，不可行淫，不可归别人为妻，我向你也必这样。”

And I said to her, You shall wait for me many days; and you shall not commit fornication, neither shall you be for [another] man; and I [will be] for you.

4 以色列人也必多日独居，无君王，无首领，无祭祀，无柱像，无以弗得，无家中的神像。

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.

5 后来以色列人必归回，寻求他们的 神—耶和华和他们的王大卫。在末后的日子，必以敬畏的心归向耶和华，领受他的恩惠。

And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.
