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。”

Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a woman, loved by her husband, but who is an adulteress. Love her just as I, Yahweh, love the people of Israel, although 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 for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek 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。”

I said to her, “You must live with me many days. You will not be a prostitute or belong to any other man. In the same way, I will be with 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 people of Israel will live for many days without a king, prince, sacrifice, stone pillar, ephod or household idols.

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。

Afterward the people of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king, and in the last days, they will come trembling before Yahweh and his goodness.
