Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel: but he trespassed through Baal, and he died.
从前以法莲说话，人都战兢， 他在以色列中居处高位； 但他在事奉巴力的事上犯罪就死了。
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
现今他们罪上加罪， 用银子为自己铸造偶像， 就是照自己的聪明制造， 都是匠人的工作。 有人论说， 献祭的人可以向牛犊亲嘴。
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the lattice.
因此，他们必如早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露， 像场上的糠秕被狂风吹去， 又像烟气腾于窗外。
4 Yet I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me.
自从你出埃及地以来， 我就是耶和华—你的 神。 在我以外，你不可认识别神； 除我以外并没有救主。
5 I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
我曾在旷野干旱之地认识你。
6 According to their pasture, they became full; they became full, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.
这些民照我所赐的食物得了饱足； 既得饱足，心就高傲， 忘记了我。
7 And I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard I will lurk for them by the way;
因此，我向他们如狮子， 又如豹伏在道旁。
8 I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her [whelps], and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them.
我遇见他们必像丢崽子的母熊， 撕裂他们的胸膛。 在那里，我必像母狮吞吃他们； 野兽必撕裂他们。
9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help.
以色列啊，你与我反对， 就是反对帮助你的，自取败坏。
10 Where then is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? —
你曾求我说： 给我立王和首领。 现在你的王在哪里呢？ 治理你的在哪里呢？ 让他在你所有的城中拯救你吧！
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
我在怒气中将王赐你， 又在烈怒中将王废去。
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid by in store.
以法莲的罪孽包裹； 他的罪恶收藏。
13 The pangs of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is a son not wise; for at the time of the breaking forth of children, he was not there.
产妇的疼痛必临到他身上； 他是无智慧之子， 到了产期不当迟延。
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death: where, O death, are thy plagues? where, O Sheol, is thy destruction? Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
我必救赎他们脱离阴间， 救赎他们脱离死亡。 死亡啊，你的灾害在哪里呢？ 阴间哪，你的毁灭在哪里呢？ 在我眼前绝无后悔之事。 (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, a wind of Jehovah [that] cometh up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
他在弟兄中虽然茂盛， 必有东风刮来， 就是耶和华的风从旷野上来。 他的泉源必干； 他的源头必竭； 仇敌必掳掠他所积蓄的一切宝器。
16 Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
撒马利亚必担当自己的罪， 因为悖逆她的 神。 她必倒在刀下； 婴孩必被摔死； 孕妇必被剖开。
