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 that is loved by another, and is an adulteress; even as Jehovah loveth the sons of Israel, who turn themselves to other gods, and love raisin-cakes.

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 for me for fifteen shekels of silver, and a homer and a half 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 shalt wait for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be with any man; so will I also wait for 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 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 sons of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and turn with fear to Jehovah and his goodness in future times.
