Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment [is] toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon 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 revolters 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, thou committest whoredom, [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 unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms [is] in the midst 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 doth 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6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find [him; ] he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 ye the cornet in Gibeah, [and] the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud [at] Beth-aven, after thee, 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 upon 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] unto 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] unto 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 offence, 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。
