Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
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 nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
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 bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth 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 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour 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 did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
我曾在旷野干旱之地认识你。
6 As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they 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 wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
因此，我向他们如狮子， 又如豹伏在道旁。
8 I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare 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 O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
以色列啊，你与我反对， 就是反对帮助你的，自取败坏。
10 I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, 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 gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
我在怒气中将王赐你， 又在烈怒中将王废去。
12 The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
以法莲的罪孽包裹； 他的罪恶收藏。
13 The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth 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 wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine 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 Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
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 Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
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。
