Osee 6

1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will strike, and bind us up.

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。

2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:

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。

3 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.

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。

4 What shall I do to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.

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。

5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgement shall go forth as the light.

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。

6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And your strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.

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。

10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;

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。

11 begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.

犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候， 必有为你所命定的收场。
