< Hosea 10 >
1 Israel is a emptie vine, yet hath it brought foorth fruite vnto it selfe, and according to the multitude of the fruite thereof he hath increased the altars: according to the goodnesse of their lande they haue made faire images.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄树,结果繁多。 果子越多,就越增添祭坛; 地土越肥美,就越造美丽的柱像。
2 Their heart is deuided: nowe shall they be founde faultie: he shall breake downe their altars: he shall destroy their images.
他们心怀二意, 现今要定为有罪。 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛, 毁坏他们的柱像。
3 For now they shall say, We haue no King because we feared not the Lord: and what should a King doe to vs?
他们必说:我们没有王, 因为我们不敬畏耶和华。 王能为我们做什么呢?
4 They haue spoken woordes, swearing falsly in making a couenant: thus iudgement groweth as wormewoode in the furrowes of the fielde.
他们为立约说谎言,起假誓; 因此,灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall feare because of the calfe of Beth-auen: for the people thereof shall mourne ouer it, and the Chemarims thereof, that reioyced on it for the glorie thereof, because it is departed from it.
撒马利亚的居民必因伯·亚文的牛犊惊恐; 崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司 都必因荣耀离开它,为它悲哀。
6 It shall bee also brought to Asshur, for a present vnto King Iareb: Ephraim shall receiue shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his owne counsell.
人必将牛犊带到亚述当作礼物, 献给耶雷布王。 以法莲必蒙羞; 以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。
7 Of Samaria, the King thereof is destroyed as the some vpon the water.
至于撒马利亚,她的王必灭没, 如水面的沫子一样。
8 The hie places also of Auen shall be destroied, euen the sinne of Israel: the thorne and the thistle shall growe vpon their altars, and they shall say to the mountaines, Couer vs, and to the hils, Fall vpon vs.
伯·亚文的邱坛— 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毁灭; 荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。 他们必对大山说:遮盖我们! 对小山说:倒在我们身上!
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the daies of Gibeah: there they stoode: the battell in Gibeah against the children of iniquitie did not touch them.
以色列啊, 你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。 你们的先人曾站在那里, 现今住基比亚的人 以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。
10 It is my desire that I should chastice them, and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall gather themselues in their two furrowes.
我必随意惩罚他们。 他们为两样的罪所缠; 列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer vsed to delite in threshing: but I will passe by her faire necke: I will make Ephraim to ride: Iudah shall plowe, and Iaakob shall breake his cloddes.
以法莲是驯良的母牛犊,喜爱踹谷, 我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上, 我要使以法莲拉套。 犹大必耕田; 雅各必耙地。
12 Sowe to your selues in righteousnes: reape after the measure of mercy: breake vp your fallowe grounde: for it is time to seeke the Lord, till he come and raine righteousnesse vpon you.
你们要为自己栽种公义, 就能收割慈爱。 现今正是寻求耶和华的时候; 你们要开垦荒地,等他临到, 使公义如雨降在你们身上。
13 But you haue plowed wickednesse: ye haue reaped iniquitie: you haue eaten the fruite of lies: because thou didest trust in thine owne waies, and in the multitude of thy strong men,
你们耕种的是奸恶, 收割的是罪孽, 吃的是谎话的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行为, 仰赖勇士众多,
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy munitions shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbell in the daie of battell: the mother with the children was dashed in pieces.
所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声, 你一切的保障必被拆毁, 就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯·亚比勒, 将其中的母子一同摔死。
15 So shall Beth-el doe vnto you, because of your malicious wickednes: in a morning shall the King of Israel be destroied.
因他们的大恶, 伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。 到了黎明,以色列的王必全然灭绝。
