¹不忠的後果“你們要對你們的兄弟說：‘我的子民’；要對你們的姊妹說：‘蒙憐憫的’。

¹“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ ‘Ammi’ in Hebrew and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’ ‘Ruhamah’ in Hebrew

²要與你們的母親爭論，你們要爭論，因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫；好讓她除掉臉上的淫相，和乳間的淫態，

²Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

³免得我把她剝光，赤身露體，使她像剛生下來的那天一樣；又使她像曠野，像無水的旱地一般，叫她因乾渴而死。

³Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

⁴我必不憐恤她的兒子，因為他們是像娼妓的兒女；

⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

⁵因為他們的母親賣了淫，懷他們的作了羞恥的事；因為她曾說：‘我要跟隨我那些愛人。我的餅和水，羊毛和麻布，油和我所喝的，都是他們給的。’

⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁶因此，我要用荊棘堵塞她的通道，我要築牆圍住她，使她找不著出路。

⁶Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.

⁷她要追趕她那些愛人，卻追不上；要尋找他們，卻找不著。她就說：‘我要回去，回到前夫那裡，因為從前比現在好得多了。’

⁷She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.’

⁸其實她不知道，是我把五穀、新酒、橄欖油賜給了她；甚至他們用來製造巴力的金銀，也是我大量給她的；

⁸For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

⁹因此，到了收割的時候，到了出酒的季節，我必收回五穀和新酒；用來給她遮蔽裸體的羊毛和麻布，我也必奪回。

⁹Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

¹⁰那時，我要在她那些愛人眼前，暴露她的下體；也沒有人能救她脫離我的手。

¹⁰Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

¹¹我必使她的一切歡樂、節期、新月、安息日，或任何盛會都終止。

¹¹I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

¹²我必毀壞她的葡萄樹和無花果樹，就是她曾說：‘這是我作妓女所賺的，是我那些愛人給我的。’我必使這些果樹成為荒林，任由田野的走獸吃掉。

¹²I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,’ and the animals of the field shall eat them.

¹³她在拜眾巴力的日子，向他們燒香，佩戴耳環首飾，打扮自己，跟隨她那些愛人，卻把我遺忘，所以我必懲罰她。”這是耶和華說的。

¹³I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” says Yahweh.

¹⁴再蒙眷愛“因此，我要誘導她，領她到曠野，對她說安慰的話。

¹⁴“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

¹⁵在那裡我要把葡萄園歸還給她，使亞割谷變成‘希望之門’。她必在那裡回應，像她少年的時候一樣，也像她從埃及地上來的那天一般。”

¹⁵I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁶耶和華說：“到那日，你必稱呼我‘伊施’（“伊施”意即“我夫”），不再稱呼我‘巴力’（“巴力”意即“我主”）。

¹⁶It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’

¹⁷我要把‘巴力’的名字從她口中除掉；他們的名字沒有人再提起。

¹⁷For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

¹⁸到那日，為了他們，我必和田野的走獸、空中的飛鳥、地上的爬蟲立約；我必從這地折斷弓弩、刀劍和兵器；使他們安然居住。

¹⁸In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

¹⁹我必聘你永遠歸我，以公義、正直、忠信和憐憫聘你歸我。

¹⁹I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

²⁰我必以信實聘你歸我；這樣，你就必認識耶和華。”

²⁰I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

²¹耶和華說：“到那日，我必應允，我必應允天，天必應允地，

²¹It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

²²地必應允五穀、新酒和油。這些必應允耶斯列（“耶斯列”意即“栽種”）。

²²and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

²³我必為了自己把她栽種在這地。我必憐恤那些不蒙憐恤的。我必對那些不是我的子民說：‘你是我的子民’，他們必說：‘你是我們的　神。’”

²³I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’”
