Hosea

何西阿和那不贞的妇人

1耶和华对我说：「你再去爱一个淫妇，就是她情人所爱的；好像以色列人，虽然偏向别神，喜爱葡萄饼，耶和华还是爱他们。」

2我便用银子十五舍客勒，大麦一贺梅珥半，买她归我。

3我对她说：「你当多日为我独居，不可行淫，不可归别人为妻，我向你也必这样。」

4以色列人也必多日独居，无君王，无首领，无祭祀，无柱像，无以弗得，无家中的神像。

5后来以色列人必归回，寻求他们的 神—耶和华和他们的王大卫。在末后的日子，必以敬畏的心归向耶和华，领受他的恩惠。

1And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.

2And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.

3And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man’s, and I also will wait for thee.

4For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.

5And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.
