Hosea 3

1 Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love to offer raisin cakes to idols.”

1 耶和华对我说：“你要再去爱那个另有新欢的淫妇，像耶和华爱以色列人一样爱她。尽管以色列人祭拜其他神明，喜爱葡萄饼，耶和华仍然爱他们。”

2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.

2 于是，我用三两银子和二百公斤大麦赎回她，

3 Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”

3 对她说：“你要和我住许多日子。这期间不可行淫，不可亲近别的男人，我也不与你同房。”

4 For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.

4 以色列人也要有许多日子没有君王和首领，没有祭祀和神柱，也没有以弗得和家庭神像。

5 Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.

5 之后，以色列人将回心转意，寻求他们的上帝耶和华，归向他们的君王大卫。在末后的日子，他们将怀着敬畏的心归向耶和华，领受祂的恩惠。
