< ホセア書 3 >
1 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
And Jehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
2 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
So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley.
3 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
And I said to her, Thou shall abide for me many days. Thou shall not play the harlot, and thou shall not be any man's wife. So I will also be toward thee.
4 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
For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim.
5 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
Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.
