Hosea 5
1 Hear you this, O priests; and listen, you house of Israel; and give you ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
眾祭司啊，要聽我的話！ 以色列家啊，要留心聽！ 王家啊，要側耳而聽！ 審判要臨到你們， 因你們在米斯巴如網羅， 在他泊山如鋪張的網。
2 And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
這些悖逆的人肆行殺戮， 罪孽極深； 我卻斥責他們眾人。
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, you commit prostitution, and Israel is defiled.
以法蓮為我所知； 以色列不能向我隱藏。 以法蓮哪，現在你行淫了， 以色列被玷污了。
4 They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of prostitutions is in the middle of them, and they have not known the LORD.
他們所行的使他們不能歸向上帝； 因有淫心在他們裏面， 他們也不認識耶和華。
5 And the pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
以色列的驕傲當面見證自己。 故此，以色列和以法蓮必因自己的罪孽跌倒； 猶大也必與他們一同跌倒。
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them.
他們必牽着牛羊去尋求耶和華，卻尋不見； 他已經轉去離開他們。
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
他們向耶和華行事詭詐，生了私子。 到了月朔，他們與他們的地業必被吞滅。
8 Blow you the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, O Benjamin.
你們當在基比亞吹角， 在拉瑪吹號， 在伯‧亞文吹出大聲，說： 便雅憫哪，有仇敵在你後頭！
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
在責罰的日子，以法蓮必變為荒場； 我在以色列支派中，指示將來必成的事。
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
猶大的首領如同挪移地界的人， 我必將忿怒倒在他們身上，如水一般。
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
以法蓮因樂從人的命令， 就受欺壓，被審判壓碎。
12 Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
我使以法蓮如蟲蛀之物， 使猶大家如朽爛之木。
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
以法蓮見自己有病， 猶大見自己有傷， 他們就打發人往亞述去見耶雷布王， 他卻不能醫治你們， 不能治好你們的傷。
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
我必向以法蓮如獅子， 向猶大家如少壯獅子。 我必撕裂而去， 我要奪去，無人搭救。
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
我要回到原處， 等他們自覺有罪，尋求我面； 他們在急難的時候必切切尋求我。
