Hosea 6

1 Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will 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 will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;

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 and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth 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 unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth 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 hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth 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 delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.

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 In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is 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 Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again 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。
