< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
以色列啊,不要像外邦人欢喜快乐; 因为你行邪淫离弃你的 神, 在各谷场上如妓女喜爱赏赐。
2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
谷场和酒榨都不够以色列人使用; 新酒也必缺乏。
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
他们必不得住耶和华的地; 以法莲却要归回埃及, 必在亚述吃不洁净的食物。
4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
他们必不得向耶和华奠酒, 即便奠酒也不蒙悦纳。 他们的祭物必如居丧者的食物, 凡吃的必被玷污; 因他们的食物只为自己的口腹, 必不奉入耶和华的殿。
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
在大会的日子, 到耶和华的节期,你们怎样行呢?
6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
看哪,他们逃避灾难; 埃及人必收殓他们的尸首, 摩弗人必葬埋他们的骸骨。 他们用银子做的美物上必长蒺藜; 他们的帐棚中必生荆棘。
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
以色列人必知道降罚的日子临近, 报应的时候来到。 民说:作先知的是愚昧; 受灵感的是狂妄, 皆因他们多多作孽,大怀怨恨。
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
以法莲曾作我 神守望的; 至于先知,在他一切的道上作为捕鸟人的网罗, 在他 神的家中怀怨恨。
9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
以法莲深深地败坏, 如在基比亚的日子一样。 耶和华必记念他们的罪孽, 追讨他们的罪恶。
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
主说:我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野; 我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子。 他们却来到巴力·毗珥专拜那可羞耻的, 就成为可憎恶的, 与他们所爱的一样。
11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
至于以法莲人,他们的荣耀必如鸟飞去, 必不生产,不怀胎,不成孕。
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
纵然养大儿女, 我却必使他们丧子,甚至不留一个。 我离弃他们,他们就有祸了。
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
我看以法莲如泰尔栽于美地。 以法莲却要将自己的儿女带出来, 交与行杀戮的人。
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
耶和华啊,求你加给他们— 加什么呢? 要使他们胎坠乳干。
15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
耶和华说:他们一切的恶事都在吉甲; 我在那里憎恶他们。 因他们所行的恶, 我必从我地上赶出他们去, 不再怜爱他们; 他们的首领都是悖逆的。
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
以法莲受责罚, 根本枯干,必不能结果, 即或生产, 我必杀他们所生的爱子。
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
我的 神必弃绝他们, 因为他们不听从他; 他们也必飘流在列国中。
