何西阿書 5
1 眾祭司啊，要聽我的話！ 以色列家啊，要留心聽！ 王家啊，要側耳而聽！ 審判要臨到你們， 因你們在米斯巴如網羅， 在他泊山如鋪張的網。
Hear ye this, O ye priests, And hearken, O house of Israel, And give ear, O house of the king! For judgment is coming upon you, Because ye have been a snare at Mizpah, And an outspread net upon Tabor.
2 這些悖逆的人肆行殺戮， 罪孽極深； 我卻斥責他們眾人。
By their sacrifices they commit deep transgression, And I will bring chastisement upon them all.
3 以法蓮為我所知； 以色列不能向我隱藏。 以法蓮哪，現在你行淫了， 以色列被玷污了。
I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from me; For thou committest fornication, O Ephraim, And Israel is defiled.
4 他們所行的使他們不能歸向上帝； 因有淫心在他們裏面， 他們也不認識耶和華。
They will not frame their doings To return to their God; For a spirit of fornication is within them, And they have no regard to Jehovah.
5 以色列的驕傲當面見證自己。 故此，以色列和以法蓮必因自己的罪孽跌倒； 猶大也必與他們一同跌倒。
The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
6 他們必牽着牛羊去尋求耶和華，卻尋不見； 他已經轉去離開他們。
With their flocks and with their herds shall they go to seek Jehovah, And shall not find him; He hath withdrawn himself from them.
7 他們向耶和華行事詭詐，生了私子。 到了月朔，他們與他們的地業必被吞滅。
They have been false to Jehovah, For they have begotten strange children; Now shall the new moon consume them with their possessions.
8 你們當在基比亞吹角， 在拉瑪吹號， 在伯‧亞文吹出大聲，說： 便雅憫哪，有仇敵在你後頭！
Blow ye the trumpet in Gibeah, And the cornet in Ramah; Cry aloud at Bethaven! Look behind thee, O Benjamin!
9 在責罰的日子，以法蓮必變為荒場； 我在以色列支派中，指示將來必成的事。
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel do I make known what is sure.
10 猶大的首領如同挪移地界的人， 我必將忿怒倒在他們身上，如水一般。
The princes of Judah are like them that remove the land mark; I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 以法蓮因樂從人的命令， 就受欺壓，被審判壓碎。
Ephraim is oppressed; he is crushed with punishment, Because he willingly walked after the decree.
12 我使以法蓮如蟲蛀之物， 使猶大家如朽爛之木。
I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as rottenness to the house of Judah.
13 以法蓮見自己有病， 猶大見自己有傷， 他們就打發人往亞述去見耶雷布王， 他卻不能醫治你們， 不能治好你們的傷。
When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, And Judah sent to the hostile king; But he will not be able to heal you, Nor will he cure you of your wound.
14 我必向以法蓮如獅子， 向猶大家如少壯獅子。 我必撕裂而去， 我要奪去，無人搭救。
For I will be as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear, and will depart; I will take away, and none shall rescue.
15 我要回到原處， 等他們自覺有罪，尋求我面； 他們在急難的時候必切切尋求我。
I will go back to my place, Till they have suffered for their sin, and seek my face! In their affliction they will seek me early.
