Hosea 7
1 When heal I Israel and it is revealed [the] iniquity of Ephraim and [the] evil deeds of Samaria for they do falsehood and a thief he comes it attacks a marauding band in the street.
當我著手醫治以色列時，厄弗辣因的罪孽就顯露出來，撒馬利亞的惡也顯露出來，因為他們行了詭詐的事：竊賊潛入內室，而外遇強盜；
2 And not they say to heart their all evil their I remember now they have surrounded them deeds their before face my they are.
但他們並不存心細想：我記住他們的一切惡行。現今他們的行為圍繞著他們，一一擺在我眼前。
3 By evil their they make glad [the] king and by lies their princes.
他們使君王喜歡，是出於惡意，使首領快樂，是出於詭詐。
4 All of them [are] adulterers like an oven burning from a baker [who] he ceases stirring up from kneading [the] dough until is leavened it.
個個燃起了怒火，像一座火爐，伙夫暫停煽火，直到和好的麵團發酵。
5 [the] day of King our they became sick princes fever from wine he stretched out hand his with scorners.
在他們君王的慶日上，當官長們酒勁發作，不能支持的時候，君王便和惡徒勾結起來。
6 For they have brought near like oven heart their in ambush their all the night [is] sleeping baker their morning it [is] burning like a fire of flame.
他們的心雖因陰謀而焦慮得像火爐一樣，但他們的怒火卻整夜停息；一到早晨，卻又如烈火復燃。
7 All of them they are hot like oven and they devour rulers their all kings their they have fallen there not [is one who] calls among them to me.
個個像火爐一樣，熾燃起來，吞噬了他們的官長；他們的君王都倒斃了，但沒有一個向我呼求。
8 Ephraim among the peoples he he mixes himself Ephraim he has become a bread cake not turned over.
厄弗辣因想混雜在列邦之中，厄弗辣因成了一塊尚未翻過的烤餅。
9 They have consumed strangers strength his and he not he knows also gray hair it has sneaked in on him and he not he knows.
外邦人耗盡了她的力量，她尚不自覺，頭上已佈滿了白髮，她還不知曉。
10 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and not they have returned to Yahweh God their and not they have sought him for all this.
[雖然如此，以色列的驕傲仍呈現在自己面上，他們仍不歸依，仍不尋求上主，他們的天主]。
11 And he has become Ephraim like a dove silly there not [is] heart Egypt they have called Assyria they have gone.
厄弗辣因像愚蠢無知的鴿子，一時求救埃及，一時又投奔亞述；
12 Just when they will go I will spread over them net my like [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will bring down them I will chasten them according to a report to assembly their.
可是不論他們往何處去，我要向他們撒開我的羅網，使他們像天上的飛鳥跌下：一聽到他們聚齊待飛，我便將他們捕捉。
13 Woe! to them for they have fled from me devastation [belongs] to them for they have transgressed against me and I I will redeem them and they they have spoken on me lies.
他們有禍了! 因為他們遠離離了我；他們必遭受毀滅，因為他們背叛了我。我原想拯救他們，但他們卻對我撒謊，
14 And not they have cried out to me with heart their if they wail on beds their on grain and new wine they assemble themselves they turn aside against me.
並沒有真心呼求我，只是在祭壇旁悲歎；為了五榖和新酒，仍自割己身，仍背叛我。
15 And I I instructed [them] I strengthened arms their and against me they plot evil.
我雖然加強了他們的手臂，然而他們仍圖謀邪惡反抗我。
16 They turn - not height they have become like a bow of slackness they will fall by the sword leaders their from [the] indignation of tongue their this [will be] mockery their in [the] land of Egypt.
他們歸向了虛無，變成了歪曲的弓；他們的首領因自己的狂言，必喪身刀下，且在埃及地為人恥笑。
