3:1 耶和华对我说，你再去爱一个淫妇，就是她情人所爱的，好像以色列人。虽然偏向别神，喜爱葡萄饼，耶和华还是爱他们。

Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

 

3:2 我便用银子十五舍客勒，大麦一贺梅珥半，买她归我。

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

 

3:3 我对她说，你当多日为我独居，不可行淫，不可归别人为妻，我向你也必这样。

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

 

3:4 以色列人也必多日独居，无君王，无首领，无祭祀，无柱像，无以弗得，无家中的神像。

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

 

3:5 后来以色列人必归回（或作回心转意），寻求他们的神耶和华，和他们的王大卫。在末后的日子，必以敬畏的心归向耶和华，领受他的恩惠。

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
