< 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
Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
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 for an homer of barley, and an 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, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be for you.
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 children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without 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 shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
