Hosea 2
1 Say unto your brethren Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
你们要称你们的弟兄为阿米，称你们的姊妹为路哈玛。
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
你们要与你们的母亲大大争辩； 因为她不是我的妻子， 我也不是她的丈夫。 叫她除掉脸上的淫像 和胸间的淫态，
3 lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her as a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
免得我剥她的衣服， 使她赤体，与才生的时候一样， 使她如旷野，如干旱之地， 因渴而死。
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms.
我必不怜悯她的儿女， 因为他们是从淫乱而生的。
5 For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
他们的母亲行了淫乱， 怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事， 因为她说：我要随从所爱的； 我的饼、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒 都是他们给的。
6 Therefore behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns; and I will fence [her] in with a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
因此，我必用荆棘堵塞她的道， 筑墙挡住她， 使她找不着路。
7 And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
她必追随所爱的，却追不上； 她必寻找他们，却寻不见， 便说：我要归回前夫， 因我那时的光景比如今还好。
8 And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal.
她不知道是我给她五谷、新酒，和油， 又加增她的金银； 她却以此供奉巴力。
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
因此到了收割的日子， 出酒的时候， 我必将我的五谷、新酒收回， 也必将她应当遮体的羊毛和麻夺回来。
10 And now will I discover her impiety in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
如今我必在她所爱的眼前显露她的丑态； 必无人能救她脱离我的手。
11 And I will cause all her mirth to cease: her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths! and all her solemnities.
我也必使她的宴乐、节期、月朔、安息日， 并她的一切大会都止息了。
12 And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
我也必毁坏她的葡萄树和无花果树， 就是她说“这是我所爱的给我为赏赐”的。 我必使这些树变为荒林， 为田野的走兽所吃。
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah.
我必追讨她素日给诸巴力烧香的罪； 那时她佩带耳环和别样妆饰， 随从她所爱的，却忘记我。 这是耶和华说的。
14 Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
后来我必劝导她，领她到旷野， 对她说安慰的话。
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
她从那里出来，我必赐她葡萄园， 又赐她亚割谷作为指望的门。 她必在那里应声， 与幼年的日子一样， 与从埃及地上来的时候相同。
16 And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali;
耶和华说：“那日你必称呼我伊施，不再称呼我巴力；
17 for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
因为我必从我民的口中除掉诸巴力的名号，这名号不再提起。
18 And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
当那日，我必为我的民，与田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟，并地上的昆虫立约；又必在国中折断弓刀，止息争战，使他们安然躺卧。
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; and I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies;
我必聘你永远归我为妻，以仁义、公平、慈爱、怜悯聘你归我；
20 and I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Jehovah.
也以诚实聘你归我，你就必认识我—耶和华。
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
耶和华说：那日我必应允， 我必应允天，天必应允地；
22 and the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jizreel.
地必应允五谷、新酒，和油， 这些必应允耶斯列民。
23 And I will sow her unto me in the land; and I will have mercy upon Lo-ruhamah; and I will say to Lo-ammi, Thou art my people; and they shall say, My God.
我必将她种在这地。 素不蒙怜悯的，我必怜悯； 本非我民的，我必对他说： 你是我的民； 他必说：你是我的 神。”
