Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
我想医治以色列的时候， 以法莲的罪孽和撒马利亚的罪恶就显露出来。 他们行事虚谎， 内有贼人入室偷窃， 外有强盗成群骚扰。
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
他们心里并不思想我记念他们的一切恶； 他们所行的现在缠绕他们，都在我面前。
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
他们行恶使君王欢喜， 说谎使首领喜乐。
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
他们都是行淫的， 像火炉被烤饼的烧热， 从抟面到发面的时候， 暂不使火着旺。
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
在我们王宴乐的日子， 首领因酒的烈性成病； 王与亵慢人拉手。
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
首领埋伏的时候，心中热如火炉， 就如烤饼的整夜睡卧， 到了早晨火气炎炎。
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calls to me.
众民也热如火炉， 烧灭他们的官长。 他们的君王都仆倒而死； 他们中间无一人求告我。
8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
以法莲与列邦人搀杂； 以法莲是没有翻过的饼。
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows not.
外邦人吞吃他劳力得来的，他却不知道； 头发斑白，他也不觉得。
10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
以色列的骄傲当面见证自己， 虽遭遇这一切， 他们仍不归向耶和华—他们的 神， 也不寻求他。
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知； 他们求告埃及，投奔亚述。
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
他们去的时候，我必将我的网撒在他们身上； 我要打下他们，如同空中的鸟。 我必按他们会众所听见的惩罚他们。
13 Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
他们因离弃我，必定有祸； 因违背我，必被毁灭。 我虽要救赎他们，他们却向我说谎。
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
他们并不诚心哀求我， 乃在床上呼号； 他们为求五谷新酒聚集， 仍然悖逆我。
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
我虽教导他们，坚固他们的膀臂， 他们竟图谋抗拒我。
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
他们归向，却不归向至上者； 他们如同翻背的弓。 他们的首领必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下； 这在埃及地必作人的讥笑。
