Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king; for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
司祭，你們你們應信這話! 以色列家，留心細聽! 王室，側耳傾聽! 審判是為你們行的，因為你們的是米茲帕的圈套，是大博爾山上張開的羅網。
2 And the revolters are gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all.
他們在史廷掘深了陷阱，但是我卻要完全懲治他們。
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast played the harlot, Israel is defiled.
我認識厄弗辣因，因你行了淫，以色列玷污了自己。
4 Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not Jehovah.
他們的行為不能使他們歸向天主，因為邪淫的心神潛伏在他們內，致使他們不認識天主。
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
以色列的傲氣呈現他們臉上，厄弗辣因因自己的罪孽而，連猶大也與他們一同跌倒。
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
縱使他們牽牛帶羊去尋求上主，但仍然尋不著，因為衪早已遠離了他們。
7 They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.
他們背叛了上主，由此他們生了私生子。看，毀滅者必要併舌他們和他們的基業。
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin.
你們要在基貝亞吹角，在辣瑪吹號，在貝特阿文 發出驚報，本雅明便要驚惶失措。
9 Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
在懲罰之日，厄弗辣因將變成一片荒涼；對以色列各支派，我要宣告一件實有的事
10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
猶大的首領行事好像是挪移地界的人，所以我要在他們身上發洩卜憤怒，有如倒水一樣。
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after [man’s] command.
厄弗辣因強硬蠻橫，破壞了正義，因為他樂意隨跟送」虛無」。
12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
由此我對厄弗辣因將像是一個蠹魚，對猶大家將像是一個蛀蟲。 1的創傷
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
厄弗辣因發現了自己的疾病，猶大看見了自己的創傷，厄弗辣因便去了亞述，猶大遣使往謁大王；可是他不能醫治你們，也不能治愈你們身上的創傷。
14 For I will be unto 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.
因為我對厄弗辣因要像是一隻獅子，對猶大家要像是一隻壯獅；的確，我必撕碎，然後退去；我要 把掠物帶走，誰也不能挽救。
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
我要去，要回到我的原處，直到他們受了罰，而我的的聖容為止。在他們遇到困難時，他們必要我：
