Hosea 7
1 Whanne Y wolde heele Israel, the wickidnesse of Effraym was schewid, and the malice of Samarie was schewid, for thei wrouyten a leesyng. And a niyt theef entride, and robbid; a dai theef was withoutforth.
我想医治以色列的时候， 以法莲的罪孽和撒马利亚的罪恶就显露出来。 他们行事虚谎， 内有贼人入室偷窃， 外有强盗成群骚扰。
2 And lest thei seien in her hertis, that Y haue mynde on al the malice of hem, now her fyndyngis han cumpassid hem, tho ben maad bifor my face.
他们心里并不思想我记念他们的一切恶； 他们所行的现在缠绕他们，都在我面前。
3 In her malice thei gladiden the kyng, and in her leesyngys `thei gladiden the princes.
他们行恶使君王欢喜， 说谎使首领喜乐。
4 Alle that doen auoutrie, ben as an ouene maad hoot of a bakere. The citee restide a litil fro the medlyng of sour douy, til al was maad sour `of sour douy.
他们都是行淫的， 像火炉被烤饼的烧热， 从抟面到发面的时候， 暂不使火着旺。
5 The dai of oure kyng; the princis bigunnen to be wood of wyn; he stretchide forth his hoond with scorneris.
在我们王宴乐的日子， 首领因酒的烈性成病； 王与亵慢人拉手。
6 For thei applieden her herte as an ouene, whanne he settide tresoun to hem. Al the niyt he slepte bakynge hem, in the morewtid he was maad hoot, as the fier of flawme.
首领埋伏的时候，心中热如火炉， 就如烤饼的整夜睡卧， 到了早晨火气炎炎。
7 Alle weren maad hoot as an ouene, and thei deuouriden her iugis. Alle the kyngis of hem fellen doun, and noon is among hem that crieth to me.
众民也热如火炉， 烧灭他们的官长。 他们的君王都仆倒而死； 他们中间无一人求告我。
8 Effraym hym silf was medlid among puplis; Effraym was maad a loof bakun vndur aischis, which is not turned ayen.
以法莲与列邦人搀杂； 以法莲是没有翻过的饼。
9 Aliens eeten the strengthe of hym, and he knew not; but also hoor heeris weren sched out in hym, and he knew not.
外邦人吞吃他劳力得来的，他却不知道； 头发斑白，他也不觉得。
10 And the pride of Israel schal be maad low in the face therof; thei turneden not ayen to her Lord God, and thei souyten not hym in alle these thingis.
以色列的骄傲当面见证自己， 虽遭遇这一切， 他们仍不归向耶和华—他们的 神， 也不寻求他。
11 And Effraym was maad as a culuer disseyued, not hauynge herte. Thei clepiden Egipt to help, thei yeden to Assiriens.
以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知； 他们求告埃及，投奔亚述。
12 And whanne thei ben goen forth, Y schal sprede abrood on hem my net, Y schal drawe hem doun as a brid of the eir. Y schal beete hem, bi the heryng of the cumpany of hem.
他们去的时候，我必将我的网撒在他们身上； 我要打下他们，如同空中的鸟。 我必按他们会众所听见的惩罚他们。
13 Wo to hem, for thei yeden awei fro me; thei schulen be distried, for thei trespassiden ayens me. And Y ayenbouyte hem, and thei spaken leesyngis ayenus me.
他们因离弃我，必定有祸； 因违背我，必被毁灭。 我虽要救赎他们，他们却向我说谎。
14 And thei crieden not to me in her herte, but yelliden in her beddis. Thei chewiden code on wheete, and wyn, and thei yeden awei fro me.
他们并不诚心哀求我， 乃在床上呼号； 他们为求五谷新酒聚集， 仍然悖逆我。
15 And Y tauyte, and coumfortide the armes of hem, and thei thouyten malice ayens me.
我虽教导他们，坚固他们的膀臂， 他们竟图谋抗拒我。
16 Thei turneden ayen, that thei schulden be with out yok; thei ben maad as a gileful bowe. The princis of hem schulen falle doun bi swerd, for the woodnesse of her tunge; this is the scornyng of hem in the lond of Egipt.
他们归向，却不归向至上者； 他们如同翻背的弓。 他们的首领必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下； 这在埃及地必作人的讥笑。
