何西阿书 6

1 来吧，我们归向耶和华！ 他撕裂我们，也必医治； 他打伤我们，也必缠裹。

Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 过两天他必使我们苏醒， 第三天他必使我们兴起， 我们就在他面前得以存活。

After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.

3 我们务要认识耶和华， 竭力追求认识他。 他出现确如晨光； 他必临到我们像甘雨， 像滋润田地的春雨。

And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

4 主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？ 犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？ 因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露。

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.

5 因此，我借先知砍伐他们， 以我口中的话杀戮他们； 我施行的审判如光发出。

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are [as] the light that goeth forth.

6 我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

7 他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8 基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with blood.

9 强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人， 祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮， 行了邪恶。

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.

10 在以色列家，我见了可憎的事； 在以法莲那里有淫行， 以色列被玷污。

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

11 犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候， 必有为你所命定的收场。

Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
