Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O ye priests; and listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.
众祭司啊，要听我的话！ 以色列家啊，要留心听！ 王家啊，要侧耳而听！ 审判要临到你们， 因你们在米斯巴如网罗， 在他泊山如铺张的网。
2 And for murdering they who had rebelled [against God] concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.
这些悖逆的人肆行杀戮， 罪孽极深； 我却斥责他们众人。
3 I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, [and] Israel is defiled.
以法莲为我所知； 以色列不能向我隐藏。 以法莲哪，现在你行淫了， 以色列被玷污了。
4 Their doings will not permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.
他们所行的使他们不能归向 神； 因有淫心在他们里面， 他们也不认识耶和华。
5 Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
以色列的骄傲当面见证自己。 故此，以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒； 犹大也必与他们一同跌倒。
6 With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华，却寻不见； 他已经转去离开他们。
7 Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.
他们向耶和华行事诡诈，生了私子。 到了月朔，他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gib'ah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Beth-aven, [The enemy is] after thee, O Benjamin.
你们当在基比亚吹角， 在拉玛吹号， 在伯·亚文吹出大声，说： 便雅悯哪，有仇敌在你后头！
9 Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.
在责罚的日子，以法莲必变为荒场； 我在以色列支派中，指示将来必成的事。
10 The princes of Judah were like those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.
犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人， 我必将忿怒倒在他们身上，如水一般。
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment [of false prophets].
以法莲因乐从人的命令， 就受欺压，被审判压碎。
12 But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
我使以法莲如虫蛀之物， 使犹大家如朽烂之木。
13 Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and [the other] sent to the king that should contend [[Jareb]]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you your wound.
以法莲见自己有病， 犹大见自己有伤， 他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王， 他却不能医治你们， 不能治好你们的伤。
14 For I am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.
我必向以法莲如狮子， 向犹大家如少壮狮子。 我必撕裂而去， 我要夺去，无人搭救。
15 I will go [from here, and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
我要回到原处， 等他们自觉有罪，寻求我面； 他们在急难的时候必切切寻求我。
