1何西阿贖回不忠的妻子耶和華對我說：“你再去愛一個婦人，這婦人是為情人所愛，又是個淫婦，就像耶和華愛以色列人，雖然他們轉去跟隨別神，喜愛葡萄餅。”
1Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.”
2於是，我用一百七十一克銀子，一百五十公斤大麥，買她回來歸我。
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels and a half of barley.
3我對她說：“你要給我獨居多日，不要行淫，不要有別的男人，我也必不與你同房。”
3I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you.”
4以色列回轉歸主再蒙眷愛因為以色列人也要獨居多日；沒有君王，沒有領袖，沒有祭祀，沒有柱像，沒有以弗得，也沒有家中的神像。
4For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.
5後來以色列人必歸回，尋求耶和華他們的 神，尋求大衛他們的王。在末後的日子，他們必戰戰兢兢來到耶和華那裡，接受他的恩惠。
5Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Yahweh and to his blessings in the last days.
