Hosea 10

1 [was] a vine Luxuriant Israel fruit he made for himself when [it] became numerous to fruit his he multiplied the altars according to [the] good of land his they made good sacred pillars.

以色列原是一枝茂盛結實繁多的葡萄樹，但他的收薐愈豐，祭壇也愈多；土地愈富饒，石柱也愈美觀。

2 It is slippery heart their now they will be held guilty he he will break altars their he will destroy sacred pillars their.

他們心懷二意，因此必遭懲罰；上主必拆毀他們的祭壇，打倒他們的石柱。

3 For now they will say not a king [belongs] to us for not we fear Yahweh and the king what? will he do for us.

那時他們要說：「哎! 我們沒有君王，因為我們不敬畏上主；可是君王能為我們作什麼呢﹖

4 They have spoken words they have sworn an oath falsehood they have made a covenant and it sprouts up like poisonous plant justice on [the] furrows of a field.

他們任意講空話，發虛誓，立盟約....因此，正義有如田畦間的苦菜叢生。

5 For [the] heifers of Beth Aven they will be afraid [the] inhabitant[s] of Samaria for it will mourn on it people its and pagan priests its on it they will tremble on glory its for it has gone into exile from it.

撒馬黎雅的居民必為貝特文的牛犢焦慮，他的人民必為牠舉哀，他的僧侶也要為牠我去的榮華而哀號，因為牠被人奪去。

6 Also it to Assyria it will be carried tribute to king Jareb shame Ephraim it will seize and it may be ashamed Israel from own counsel its.

連牠也被帶到亞述去，作為大王的頁物。厄弗辣因得到旳只是恥辱，以色列必要因自己的偶像而蒙羞。

7 [will] be destroyed Samaria king its like a twig on [the] surface of [the] waters.

撒馬黎雅滅亡了，她的君王有如一片浮在水面的乾草。

8 And they will be destroyed [the] high places of wickedness [the] sin of Israel thorn[s] and thistle[s] it will grow up over altars their and they will say to the mountains cover us and to the hills fall on us.

貝特阿文的高丘──以色列的罪過淵藪──將被摧毀，荊棘和蒺藜要攀他們的祭壇；那時他們要對山說：「遮蓋我們吧!」對丘陵說：「倒在我們身上吧!」

9 Since [the] days of Gibeah you have sinned O Israel there they have remained not will it overtake? them in Gibeah war on sons of injustice.

以色列! 從基貝亞的日子起，你就犯罪，你就在那裏抗拒；難道基貝亞的戰禍不會波及那些惡人嗎﹖

10 At desire my and I will discipline them and they will be gathered on them peoples when harness them to [the] two (iniquities their. *Q(K)*)

我必來懲罰他們：列邦必要聯合起來攻打他們，為懲罰他們的雙重罪過。

11 And Ephraim [was] a heifer trained [which] loved to thresh and I I passed over [the] goodness of neck its I will cause to draw Ephraim it will plow Judah it will harrow itself Jacob.

厄弗辣因原是一頭馴服的母牛，善愛打麥，可是我要將軛加在牠肥壯的頸項上；我要給厄弗辣因上套，以色列必要耕田，雅各伯必要耙地。

12 Sow yourselves righteousness reap a mouth of loyalty plow yourselves unplowed ground and [it is] time to seek Yahweh until he will come and he may rain down righteousness for you.

你們應該播種正義，才可收割仁慈的果實；你們應該開墾荒地，因為現在是尋求上主的時候；應尋求衪，直到衪來給他們降下正義。

13 You have plowed wickedness injustice you have reaped you have eaten [the] fruit of lying for you have trusted in own way your in [the] multitude of warriors your.

為什麼你們種了邪惡，收割了罪孽，吃了謊言的果實呢﹖因為你依賴了你的戰車，和和你的勇士眾多；

14 And it will arise an uproar among people your and all fortresses your it will be devastated like [the] devastation of Shalman Beth Arbel on [the] day of battle mother with children she was dashed in pieces.

因此，在你的城邑中要發生騷動，你的一切堡壘將被拆毀，就如沙耳曼毀滅貝特阿爾貝時，在戰爭之日，母親被摔死在兒子身上一樣。

15 Thus someone will do to you O Beth-el because of [the] evil of wickedness your at dawn certainly he will be destroyed [the] king of Israel.

因了你的窮凶極惡，以色列家，我也要同樣對待你：以色列的君王將在風暴中完全淪亡。
