< 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 Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of a friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of Jehovah for the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love raisin-cakes.
2 我便用银子十五舍客勒,大麦一贺梅珥半,买她归我。
So I bought her to me for fifteen silver [pieces], and for a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley.
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 unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be [another] man's, and I will also be for thee.
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 king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without statue, and without ephod and teraphim.
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。
Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king; and shall turn with fear toward Jehovah and toward his goodness, at the end of the days.
