Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and 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 have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore 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 a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
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 But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside 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 desert, in the land of the wilderness.
我曾在旷野干旱之地认识你。
6 According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have 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 to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
因此，我向他们如狮子， 又如豹伏在道旁。
8 I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, 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 Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
以色列啊，你与我反对， 就是反对帮助你的，自取败坏。
10 Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings 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 will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.
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 hidden.
以法莲的罪孽包裹； 他的罪恶收藏。
13 The sorrows of a woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
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 deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my 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 Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
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 Let Samaria perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child 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。
