1Then the LORD said to me, 'Go again, love a woman [who] is loved by [her] husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.'
1耶和華對我說：你再去愛一個淫婦，就是她情人所愛的；好像以色列人，雖然偏向別神，喜愛葡萄餅，耶和華還是愛他們。
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen [shekels] of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
2我便用銀子十五舍客勒，大麥一賀梅珥半，買她歸我。
3Then I said to her, 'You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you.'
3我對她說：你當多日為我獨居，不可行淫，不可歸別人為妻，我向你也必這樣。
4For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or [sacred] pillar and without ephod or household idols.
4以色列人也必多日獨居，無君王，無首領，無祭祀，無柱像，無以弗得，無家中的神像。
5Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
5後來以色列人必歸回（或譯：回心轉意），尋求他們的神─耶和華和他們的王大衛。在末後的日子，必以敬畏的心歸向耶和華，領受他的恩惠。
