Hosea 6

1 “Come, and we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds us up.

来吧，我们归向耶和华！ 他撕裂我们，也必医治； 他打伤我们，也必缠裹。

2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.

过两天他必使我们苏醒， 第三天他必使我们兴起， 我们就在他面前得以存活。

3 And we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn rain to the earth.”

我们务要认识耶和华， 竭力追求认识他。 他出现确如晨光； 他必临到我们像甘雨， 像滋润田地的春雨。

4 “What do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.

主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？ 犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？ 因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露。

5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.

因此，我借先知砍伐他们， 以我口中的话杀戮他们； 我施行的审判如光发出。

6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.

强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人， 祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮， 行了邪恶。

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.

在以色列家，我见了可憎的事； 在以法莲那里有淫行， 以色列被玷污。

11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”

犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候， 必有为你所命定的收场。
