Hosea 10
1 'An empty vine [is] Israel, Fruit he maketh like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made goodly standing-pillars.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄树，结果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭坛； 地土越肥美，就越造美丽的柱像。
2 Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.
他们心怀二意， 现今要定为有罪。 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛， 毁坏他们的柱像。
3 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared Jehovah, And the king — what doth he for us?
他们必说：我们没有王， 因为我们不敬畏耶和华。 王能为我们做什么呢？
4 They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field.
他们为立约说谎言，起假誓； 因此，灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。
5 For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,
撒马利亚的居民必因伯·亚文的牛犊惊恐； 崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司 都必因荣耀离开它，为它悲哀。
6 Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.
人必将牛犊带到亚述当作礼物， 献给耶雷布王。 以法莲必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。
7 Cut off is Samaria! Its king [is] as a chip on the face of the waters.
至于撒马利亚，她的王必灭没， 如水面的沫子一样。
8 And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon us.
伯·亚文的邱坛— 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毁灭； 荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。 他们必对大山说：遮盖我们！ 对小山说：倒在我们身上！
9 From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle, Because of sons of perverseness.
以色列啊， 你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。 你们的先人曾站在那里， 现今住基比亚的人 以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。
10 When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
我必随意惩罚他们。 他们为两样的罪所缠； 列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。
11 And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer — loving to thresh, And I — I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth Jacob.
以法莲是驯良的母牛犊，喜爱踹谷， 我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上， 我要使以法莲拉套。 犹大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
12 Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.
你们要为自己栽种公义， 就能收割慈爱。 现今正是寻求耶和华的时候； 你们要开垦荒地，等他临到， 使公义如雨降在你们身上。
13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.
你们耕种的是奸恶， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是谎话的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行为， 仰赖勇士众多，
14 And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声， 你一切的保障必被拆毁， 就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯·亚比勒， 将其中的母子一同摔死。
15 Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
因他们的大恶， 伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然灭绝。
