何西阿书 5
1 众祭司啊，要听我的话！ 以色列家啊，要留心听！ 王家啊，要侧耳而听！ 审判要临到你们， 因你们在米斯巴如网罗， 在他泊山如铺张的网。
Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for to you pertains the judgment. For ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 这些悖逆的人肆行杀戮， 罪孽极深； 我却斥责他们众人。
And the revolters have gone deep in making slaughter, but I am a rebuker of them all.
3 以法莲为我所知； 以色列不能向我隐藏。 以法莲哪，现在你行淫了， 以色列被玷污了。
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.
4 他们所行的使他们不能归向 神； 因有淫心在他们里面， 他们也不认识耶和华。
Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know Jehovah.
5 以色列的骄傲当面见证自己。 故此，以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒； 犹大也必与他们一同跌倒。
And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah also shall stumble with them.
6 他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华，却寻不见； 他已经转去离开他们。
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 他们向耶和华行事诡诈，生了私子。 到了月朔，他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。
They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah, for they have borne strange sons. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8 你们当在基比亚吹角， 在拉玛吹号， 在伯·亚文吹出大声，说： 便雅悯哪，有仇敌在你后头！
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin.
9 在责罚的日子，以法莲必变为荒场； 我在以色列支派中，指示将来必成的事。
Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke. I have made known that which shall surely be among the tribes of Israel.
10 犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人， 我必将忿怒倒在他们身上，如水一般。
The rulers of Judah are like those who remove the landmark. I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 以法莲因乐从人的命令， 就受欺压，被审判压碎。
Ephraim is oppressed. He is crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after man's command.
12 我使以法莲如虫蛀之物， 使犹大家如朽烂之木。
Therefore I am to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 以法莲见自己有病， 犹大见自己有伤， 他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王， 他却不能医治你们， 不能治好你们的伤。
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb. But he is not able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound.
14 我必向以法莲如狮子， 向犹大家如少壮狮子。 我必撕裂而去， 我要夺去，无人搭救。
For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away, I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 我要回到原处， 等他们自觉有罪，寻求我面； 他们在急难的时候必切切寻求我。
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
