何西阿书 10
1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄树，结果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭坛； 地土越肥美，就越造美丽的柱像。
Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.
2 他们心怀二意， 现今要定为有罪。 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛， 毁坏他们的柱像。
They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.
3 他们必说：我们没有王， 因为我们不敬畏耶和华。 王能为我们做什么呢？
Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:
4 他们为立约说谎言，起假誓； 因此，灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。
and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
5 撒马利亚的居民必因伯·亚文的牛犊惊恐； 崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司 都必因荣耀离开它，为它悲哀。
The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
6 人必将牛犊带到亚述当作礼物， 献给耶雷布王。 以法莲必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。
And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.
7 至于撒马利亚，她的王必灭没， 如水面的沫子一样。
Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.
8 伯·亚文的邱坛— 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毁灭； 荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。 他们必对大山说：遮盖我们！ 对小山说：倒在我们身上！
And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 以色列啊， 你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。 你们的先人曾站在那里， 现今住基比亚的人 以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。
From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity
10 我必随意惩罚他们。 他们为两样的罪所缠； 列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。
to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins,
11 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊，喜爱踹谷， 我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上， 我要使以法莲拉套。 犹大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fair part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.
12 你们要为自己栽种公义， 就能收割慈爱。 现今正是寻求耶和华的时候； 你们要开垦荒地，等他临到， 使公义如雨降在你们身上。
Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light you for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.
13 你们耕种的是奸恶， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是谎话的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行为， 仰赖勇士众多，
Therefore have you passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? you have eaten false fruit; for you has trusted in your sins, in the abundance of your power.
14 所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声， 你一切的保障必被拆毁， 就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯·亚比勒， 将其中的母子一同摔死。
Therefore shall destruction rise up among your people, and all your strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,
15 因他们的大恶， 伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然灭绝。
thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
