Hosea 13
1 When spoke Ephraim trembling he lifted up he in Israel and he became guilty by Baal and he died.
從前厄弗辣因一發言，令人害怕，他原是以色列中的首領；但後來他因巴耳而犯罪，至於滅亡。
2 And now - they increase to sin and they have made for themselves a molten image from silver their according to skill their idols [is the] work of craftsmen all of it of them they [are] saying [those who] offer sacrifice of humankind calves they will kiss!
如今他們仍舊犯罪，用銀子為自己鑄神像，按照他們的幻想製造偶像；這一切只是匠人的作品，他們反說：「應向他們獻祭! 各人就口親牛犢。
3 Therefore they will become like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going like chaff [which] it is storm-driven from a threshing floor and like smoke from a window.
因此，他們將如黎明的雲霧，如易逝的朝霞，如禾場上被風捲去的糠秕，如由窗口冒出的煙氣
4 And I [am] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt and gods besides me not you must know and [is] a deliverer there not except me.
從在埃及地時，我就是上主，你們的天主；除我以外，你們不可認識其他的神；除我以外，別無拯救者。
5 I I knew you in the wilderness in a land of drought.
我在曠野中──在乾旱之地──牧放了你。
6 According to pasture their and they were satisfied they were satisfied and it was exalted heart their there-fore they forgot me.
我牧養了他們，使他們得以飽食；但飽食之後，他們便心高氣傲，反而忘卻了我。
7 And I became to them like a lion like a leopard on a road I will watch.
所以我對他們像一隻獅子，像一頭豹子，伏在路旁，窺伺他們；
8 I will meet them like a bear robbed of cubs so I may tear [the] cavity of heart their and I will devour them there like a lion animal of the field it will tear to pieces them.
像一隻失掉幼子的母熊衝向他們，撕破他們胸內的心，好叫野狗在那裏舌食他們，野獸撕裂他們。
9 It will destroy you O Israel for in me in helper your.
以色列! 我要摧毀你，有誰能援助你﹖
10 Where? [is] king your then so he may save you in all cities your and rulers your whom you said give! to me a king and leaders.
你的君王在哪裏﹖讓他來拯救你! 你所有的領袖在哪裏﹖叫他們來保護你! 因為你曾說：「請你賜給我君王和領袖! 」
11 I gave to you a king in anger my so I may take [him] away in wrath my.
我在憤怒中給了你君王，我也要在盛怒中，再將他除去。
12 [is] bound up [the] iniquity of Ephraim [is] stored up sin his.
厄弗辣因的邪惡已被封存，他的罪孽已被貯藏。
13 [the] pains of [one who] gives birth They will come to him he [is] a son not wise if a time not he will present himself at birth of children.
分娩的劇痛將臨到他身上，可是胎兒是一個愚蠢的孩子，雖然時候到了，他仍不願脫離母胎。
14 From [the] hand of Sheol will I ransom? them from death will I redeem? them where? [are] thorns your O death where? [is] destruction your O Sheol compassion it will be hidden from eyes my. (Sheol h7585)
我要解救他們脫離死亡嗎﹖死亡啊! 你的災害在哪裏﹖陰府啊! 你的毀滅在哪裏﹖憐憫已由我的眼前隱蔽了。 (Sheol h7585)
15 For he a son brothers he flourishes it will come an east wind [the] wind of Yahweh from [the] wilderness [is] about to come up and it may be withered spring his so it may be dried up spring his it it will plunder [the] treasury of every article of preciousness.
他在蘆葦中雖長的茂盛，但必有東風吹來：上主的風必由曠野吹來，使他的泉源乾涸。他必掠去他所貯藏的一切寶物。
16 It will be held guilty Samaria for it has rebelled against God its by the sword they will fall children their they will be dashed in pieces and pregnant [women] its they will be ripped open.
撒馬利亞必要承當罪罰，因為她背叛了自己的天主；她的居民必喪身刀下，他們的嬰兒必被摔死，他們的孕婦必被剖腹。
