Hosea 3

1 Then said Yahweh unto me, Once more, go love a woman who loveth a friend, and is an adulteress, —according to the love of Yahweh unto the sons of Israel, though they keep turning away unto other gods, and love [idolatrous] raisin-cakes.

ヱホバわれに言給ひけるは汝ふたたび往てヱホバに愛せらるれども轉りてほかのもろもろの神にむかひ葡萄の菓子を愛するイスラエルの子孫のごとく そのつれそふものに愛せらるれども姦淫をおこなふ婦人をあいせよ

2 So I secured her to me, for fifteen pieces of silver, —and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;

われ銀十五枚おほむぎ一ホメル半をもてわが爲にその婦人をえたり

3 and I said unto her, Many days, shalt thou tarry for me, thou shalt not be unchaste, neither shalt thou become another man’s, —moreover also, I, [will tarry] for thee.

我これにいひけるは汝おほくの日わがためにとどまりて淫行をなすことなく他の人にゆくことなかれ 我もまた汝にむかひて然せん

4 For, many days, shall the sons of Israel tarry, without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar; and without ephod, or household gods.

イスラエルの子輩は多くの日王なく君なく犠牲なく表柱なくエボデなくテラビムなくして居らん

5 Afterwards, shall the sons of Israel return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, —and shall turn with throbbing hearts unto Yahweh and unto his goodness, in the afterpart of the days.

その後イスラエルの子輩はかへりてその神ヱホバとその王ダビデをたづねもとめ末日にをののきてヱホバとその恩惠とにむかひてゆかん
