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 ye this—O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence, —for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on 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, a slaughter, have apostates deeply designed, —though, I, was a rebuker to 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, have known Ephraim, and, Israel, hath not been hidden from me, —for, now, hast thou committed unchastity, O Ephraim, Israel, hath made himself impure.
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 suffer, them to return unto their God, —for, the spirit of unchastity, is within them, and, Yahweh, have they not known.
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。
Therefore will the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face, —and, Israel and Ephraim, shall stumble in their iniquity, even Judah with them, hath stumbled.
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。
With their flocks and with their herds, will they go to seek Yahweh, but shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.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。
With Yahweh, have they dealt treacherously, for, to alien children, have they given birth, —now, a new moon, shall devour them, with their portions.
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 a horn in Gibeah, a 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: Throughout the tribes of Israel, have I hide known what is sure.
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 have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.
11 以法莲因乐从人的命令， 就受欺压，被审判压碎。
Oppressed, is Ephraim, crushed in judgment, —because he hath, wilfully, walked after falsehood.
12 我使以法莲如虫蛀之物， 使犹大家如朽烂之木。
But, I, was like a moth, to Ephraim, —and like rotten wood to the house of Judah.
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 injury, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim unto Assyria, and [Judah] sent unto a hostile king, —yet, he, cannot heal you, nor will the wound, remove from you.
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 as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah, —I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.
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 depart, will return unto my place! till what time they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my face, —In their trouble, will they make for me diligent search.
