1 Yahweh 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 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley. 3 I 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 For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols. 5 Afterward 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.

1 耶和华对我说： "你再去爱一个妇人， 这妇人是为情人所爱， 又是个淫妇， 就像耶和华爱以色列人， 虽然他们转去跟随别神， 喜爱葡萄饼。"

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。

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。"

4 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。

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。
