Hosea 5
1 Hear this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; 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 they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser 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, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; 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 do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of 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 Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall 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6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.
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 the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [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 be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.
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 become 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, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].
厄弗辣因強硬蠻橫，破壞了正義，因為他樂意隨跟送」虛無」。
12 And I will be 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 his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.
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, 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 away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
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：
