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.”
1何西阿赎回不忠的妻子
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.
2于是,我用一百七十一克银子,一百五十公斤大麦,买她回来归我。
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.”
3我对她说:“你要给我独居多日,不要行淫,不要有别的男人,我也必不与你同房。”
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.
4以色列回转归主再蒙眷爱因为以色列人也要独居多日;没有君王,没有领袖,没有祭祀,没有柱像,没有以弗得,也没有家中的神像。
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.
5后来以色列人必归回,寻求耶和华他们的 神,寻求大卫他们的王。在末后的日子,他们必战战兢兢来到耶和华那里,接受他的恩惠。
