何西阿书 9
1 以色列啊，不要像外邦人欢喜快乐； 因为你行邪淫离弃你的 神， 在各谷场上如妓女喜爱赏赐。
Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
2 谷场和酒榨都不够以色列人使用； 新酒也必缺乏。
The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3 他们必不得住耶和华的地； 以法莲却要归回埃及， 必在亚述吃不洁净的食物。
They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
4 他们必不得向耶和华奠酒， 即便奠酒也不蒙悦纳。 他们的祭物必如居丧者的食物， 凡吃的必被玷污； 因他们的食物只为自己的口腹， 必不奉入耶和华的殿。
They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
5 在大会的日子， 到耶和华的节期，你们怎样行呢？
What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
6 看哪，他们逃避灾难； 埃及人必收殓他们的尸首， 摩弗人必葬埋他们的骸骨。 他们用银子做的美物上必长蒺藜； 他们的帐棚中必生荆棘。
For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
7 以色列人必知道降罚的日子临近， 报应的时候来到。 民说：作先知的是愚昧； 受灵感的是狂妄， 皆因他们多多作孽，大怀怨恨。
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
8 以法莲曾作我 神守望的； 至于先知，在他一切的道上作为捕鸟人的网罗， 在他 神的家中怀怨恨。
The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
9 以法莲深深地败坏， 如在基比亚的日子一样。 耶和华必记念他们的罪孽， 追讨他们的罪恶。
They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 主说：我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野； 我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子。 他们却来到巴力·毗珥专拜那可羞耻的， 就成为可憎恶的， 与他们所爱的一样。
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
11 至于以法莲人，他们的荣耀必如鸟飞去， 必不生产，不怀胎，不成孕。
[As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 纵然养大儿女， 我却必使他们丧子，甚至不留一个。 我离弃他们，他们就有祸了。
Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13 我看以法莲如泰尔栽于美地。 以法莲却要将自己的儿女带出来， 交与行杀戮的人。
Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14 耶和华啊，求你加给他们— 加什么呢？ 要使他们胎坠乳干。
Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 耶和华说：他们一切的恶事都在吉甲； 我在那里憎恶他们。 因他们所行的恶， 我必从我地上赶出他们去， 不再怜爱他们； 他们的首领都是悖逆的。
All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
16 以法莲受责罚， 根本枯干，必不能结果， 即或生产， 我必杀他们所生的爱子。
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
17 我的 神必弃绝他们， 因为他们不听从他； 他们也必飘流在列国中。
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
