Hosea 10
1 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄樹，結果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭壇； 地土越肥美，就越造美麗的柱像。
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
他們心懷二意， 現今要定為有罪。 耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇， 毀壞他們的柱像。
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not YHWH; what then should a king do to us?
他們必說：我們沒有王， 因為我們不敬畏耶和華。 王能為我們做甚麼呢？
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
他們為立約說謊言，起假誓； 因此，災罰如苦菜滋生在田間的犂溝中。
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
撒馬利亞的居民必因伯‧亞文的牛犢驚恐； 崇拜牛犢的民和喜愛牛犢的祭司 都必因榮耀離開它，為它悲哀。
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
人必將牛犢帶到亞述當作禮物， 獻給耶雷布王。 以法蓮必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的計謀慚愧。
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
至於撒馬利亞，她的王必滅沒， 如水面的沫子一樣。
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
伯‧亞文的邱壇－ 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毀滅； 荊棘和蒺藜必長在他們的祭壇上。 他們必對大山說：遮蓋我們！ 對小山說：倒在我們身上！
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
以色列啊， 你從基比亞的日子以來時常犯罪。 你們的先人曾站在那裏， 現今住基比亞的人 以為攻擊罪孽之輩的戰事臨不到自己。
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
我必隨意懲罰他們。 他們為兩樣的罪所纏； 列邦的民必聚集攻擊他們。
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
以法蓮是馴良的母牛犢，喜愛踹穀， 我卻將軛加在牠肥美的頸項上， 我要使以法蓮拉套。 猶大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek YHWH, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
你們要為自己栽種公義， 就能收割慈愛。 現今正是尋求耶和華的時候； 你們要開墾荒地，等他臨到， 使公義如雨降在你們身上。
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
你們耕種的是奸惡， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是謊話的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行為， 仰賴勇士眾多，
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
所以在這民中必有鬨嚷之聲， 你一切的保障必被拆毀， 就如沙勒幔在爭戰的日子拆毀伯‧亞比勒， 將其中的母子一同摔死。
15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
因他們的大惡， 伯特利必使你們遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然滅絕。
