何西阿書 3

1 耶和華對我說：「你再去愛一個淫婦，就是她情人所愛的；好像以色列人，雖然偏向別神，喜愛葡萄餅，耶和華還是愛他們。」

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 我便用銀子十五舍客勒，大麥一賀梅珥半，買她歸我。

So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethek of barley.

3 我對她說：「你當多日為我獨居，不可行淫，不可歸別人為妻，我向你也必這樣。」

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 以色列人也必多日獨居，無君王，無首領，無祭祀，無柱像，無以弗得，無家中的神像。

For the people of Israel will live for many days without a king, prince, sacrifice, stone pillar, ephod or household idols.

5 後來以色列人必歸回，尋求他們的上帝－耶和華和他們的王大衛。在末後的日子，必以敬畏的心歸向耶和華，領受他的恩惠。

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.
