(A)И каза ми Господ: иди още и полюби жена, обичана от мъж, но прелюбодейница, също тъй, както Господ люби синовете Израилеви, а те се обръщат към други богове и обичат гроздените им питки.

И придобих си я за петнайсет сребърника, за хомер и полухомер ечемик;

(B)и рекох ѝ: „остани у мене много дни; не блудствувай и не бивай с други; също и аз ще бъда за тебе.

(C)Защото дълго време синовете Израилеви ще останат без цар, без княз и без жертви, без жертвеник, без ефод и терафим.

(D)След това ще се обърнат синовете Израилеви и ще потърсят Господа, своя Бог, и Давида, своя цар, и ще благоговеят пред Господа и пред благостта Му в последните дни“.

何西阿贖回不貞之妻

耶和華對何西阿說:「你要再去愛那個另有新歡的淫婦,像耶和華愛以色列人一樣愛她。儘管他們祭拜別的神明,喜愛葡萄餅,耶和華仍然愛他們。」 於是,我用一百七十克銀子和一百五十公斤大麥贖回她, 對她說:「你要和我住許多日子。這期間不可行淫,不可親近別的男人,我也不與你同房。」 以色列人也要有許多日子沒有君王和首領,沒有祭祀和神柱,也沒有以弗得和家庭神像。 之後,以色列人將回心轉意,尋求他們的上帝耶和華,歸向他們的君王大衛。在末後的日子,他們將懷著敬畏的心歸向耶和華,領受祂的恩惠。

Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife

The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.(A) Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.(B)

So I bought her for fifteen shekels[a] of silver and about a homer and a lethek[b] of barley. Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince,(C) without sacrifice(D) or sacred stones,(E) without ephod(F) or household gods.(G) Afterward the Israelites will return and seek(H) the Lord their God and David their king.(I) They will come trembling(J) to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.(K)

Israel Will Return to God

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a (A)lover[a] and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.

So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. And I said to her, “You shall (B)stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”

For the children of Israel shall abide many days (C)without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without (D)ephod or (E)teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and (F)seek the Lord their God and (G)David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the (H)latter days.
