何西阿書 5
1 司祭，你們你們應信這話! 以色列家，留心細聽! 王室，側耳傾聽! 審判是為你們行的，因為你們的是米茲帕的圈套，是大博爾山上張開的羅網。
"Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 他們在史廷掘深了陷阱，但是我卻要完全懲治他們。
The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
3 我認識厄弗辣因，因你行了淫，以色列玷污了自己。
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
4 他們的行為不能使他們歸向天主，因為邪淫的心神潛伏在他們內，致使他們不認識天主。
Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
5 以色列的傲氣呈現他們臉上，厄弗辣因因自己的罪孽而，連猶大也與他們一同跌倒。
The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
6 縱使他們牽牛帶羊去尋求上主，但仍然尋不著，因為衪早已遠離了他們。
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 他們背叛了上主，由此他們生了私生子。看，毀滅者必要併舌他們和他們的基業。
They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8 你們要在基貝亞吹角，在辣瑪吹號，在貝特阿文 發出驚報，本雅明便要驚惶失措。
"Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.
9 在懲罰之日，厄弗辣因將變成一片荒涼；對以色列各支派，我要宣告一件實有的事
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
10 猶大的首領行事好像是挪移地界的人，所以我要在他們身上發洩卜憤怒，有如倒水一樣。
The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11 厄弗辣因強硬蠻橫，破壞了正義，因為他樂意隨跟送」虛無」。
Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 由此我對厄弗辣因將像是一個蠹魚，對猶大家將像是一個蛀蟲。 1的創傷
Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
13 厄弗辣因發現了自己的疾病，猶大看見了自己的創傷，厄弗辣因便去了亞述，猶大遣使往謁大王；可是他不能醫治你們，也不能治愈你們身上的創傷。
"When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
14 因為我對厄弗辣因要像是一隻獅子，對猶大家要像是一隻壯獅；的確，我必撕碎，然後退去；我要 把掠物帶走，誰也不能挽救。
For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
15 我要去，要回到我的原處，直到他們受了罰，而我的的聖容為止。在他們遇到困難時，他們必要我：
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
