Hosea 2
1 Call ye your brothers, 'Ammi [[my people]]; and your sisters, Ruchamah [[That hath obtained mercy]].
你们要称你们的弟兄为阿米，称你们的姊妹为路哈玛。
2 Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; but let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts:
你们要与你们的母亲大大争辩； 因为她不是我的妻子， 我也不是她的丈夫。 叫她除掉脸上的淫像 和胸间的淫态，
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her, as on the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and render her like a dry land, and let her die with thirst.
免得我剥她的衣服， 使她赤体，与才生的时候一样， 使她如旷野，如干旱之地， 因渴而死。
4 And upon her children will I not have mercy; for they are children of prostitution;
我必不怜悯她的儿女， 因为他们是从淫乱而生的。
5 For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
他们的母亲行了淫乱， 怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事， 因为她说：我要随从所爱的； 我的饼、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒 都是他们给的。
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will close it up with a fence, that she shall not find her paths.
因此，我必用荆棘堵塞她的道， 筑墙挡住她， 使她找不着路。
7 And she will make pursuit after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she will seek them, but shall not find them: then will she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for it was better with me then than now.
她必追随所爱的，却追不上； 她必寻找他们，却寻不见， 便说：我要归回前夫， 因我那时的光景比如今还好。
8 But she indeed did not acknowledge, that it was I that had given her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied for her silver and gold, which they devoted for Ba'al.
她不知道是我给她五谷、新酒，和油， 又加增她的金银； 她却以此供奉巴力。
9 Therefore will I turn back, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will snatch away my wool and my flax, [given] to cover her nakedness.
因此到了收割的日子， 出酒的时候， 我必将我的五谷、新酒收回， 也必将她应当遮体的羊毛和麻夺回来。
10 And now will I lay open her disgrace before the eyes of her lovers, and no man shall deliver her out of my hand.
如今我必在她所爱的眼前显露她的丑态； 必无人能救她脱离我的手。
11 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her festival, her new-moon, and her sabbath, and all her appointed feasts.
我也必使她的宴乐、节期、月朔、安息日， 并她的一切大会都止息了。
12 And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my reward which my lovers have given me: and I will change them into a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
我也必毁坏她的葡萄树和无花果树， 就是她说“这是我所爱的给我为赏赐”的。 我必使这些树变为荒林， 为田野的走兽所吃。
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Be'alim, to which she used to burn incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and me she forgot, saith the Lord.
我必追讨她素日给诸巴力烧香的罪； 那时她佩带耳环和别样妆饰， 随从她所爱的，却忘记我。 这是耶和华说的。
14 Therefore, behold, will I allure her, and lead her forth into the wilderness, and I will speak comfortingly unto her heart.
后来我必劝导她，领她到旷野， 对她说安慰的话。
15 And I will give her [again] her vineyards from there, and the valley of 'Achor [[sorrow]] as an entrance for hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as on the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
她从那里出来，我必赐她葡萄园， 又赐她亚割谷作为指望的门。 她必在那里应声， 与幼年的日子一样， 与从埃及地上来的时候相同。
16 And it shall happen at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi [[my husband]], and shalt not call me any more Ba'ali [[my lord]].
耶和华说：“那日你必称呼我伊施，不再称呼我巴力；
17 For I will remove the names of the Be'alim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
因为我必从我民的口中除掉诸巴力的名号，这名号不再提起。
18 And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and bow, and sword, and war I will break away out of the land, and I will cause them to lie down in safety.
当那日，我必为我的民，与田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟，并地上的昆虫立约；又必在国中折断弓刀，止息争战，使他们安然躺卧。
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever: yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving-kindness, and in mercy.
我必聘你永远归我为妻，以仁义、公平、慈爱、怜悯聘你归我；
20 And I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the Lord.
也以诚实聘你归我，你就必认识我—耶和华。
21 And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will answer prayer, saith the Lord, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
耶和华说：那日我必应允， 我必应允天，天必应允地；
22 And the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Yizre'el.
地必应允五谷、新酒，和油， 这些必应允耶斯列民。
23 And I will sow her for me in the land; and I will have mercy upon “Her that had not obtained mercy” [[Lo-ruchamah]]; and I will say to those who were “Not my people” [[Lo-'ammi]], Thou art my people: and they shall say, Thou art my God.
我必将她种在这地。 素不蒙怜悯的，我必怜悯； 本非我民的，我必对他说： 你是我的民； 他必说：你是我的 神。”
