Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
从前以法莲说话，人都战兢， 他在以色列中居处高位； 但他在事奉巴力的事上犯罪就死了。
2 And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artisans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'
现今他们罪上加罪， 用银子为自己铸造偶像， 就是照自己的聪明制造， 都是匠人的工作。 有人论说， 献祭的人可以向牛犊亲嘴。
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
因此，他们必如早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露， 像场上的糠秕被狂风吹去， 又像烟气腾于窗外。
4 And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.
自从你出埃及地以来， 我就是耶和华—你的 神。 在我以外，你不可认识别神； 除我以外并没有救主。
5 I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
我曾在旷野干旱之地认识你。
6 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
这些民照我所赐的食物得了饱足； 既得饱足，心就高傲， 忘记了我。
7 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
因此，我向他们如狮子， 又如豹伏在道旁。
8 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
我遇见他们必像丢崽子的母熊， 撕裂他们的胸膛。 在那里，我必像母狮吞吃他们； 野兽必撕裂他们。
9 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
以色列啊，你与我反对， 就是反对帮助你的，自取败坏。
10 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'
你曾求我说： 给我立王和首领。 现在你的王在哪里呢？ 治理你的在哪里呢？ 让他在你所有的城中拯救你吧！
11 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
我在怒气中将王赐你， 又在烈怒中将王废去。
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
以法莲的罪孽包裹； 他的罪恶收藏。
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
产妇的疼痛必临到他身上； 他是无智慧之子， 到了产期不当迟延。
14 From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
我必救赎他们脱离阴间， 救赎他们脱离死亡。 死亡啊，你的灾害在哪里呢？ 阴间哪，你的毁灭在哪里呢？ 在我眼前绝无后悔之事。 (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.
他在弟兄中虽然茂盛， 必有东风刮来， 就是耶和华的风从旷野上来。 他的泉源必干； 他的源头必竭； 仇敌必掳掠他所积蓄的一切宝器。
16 Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
撒马利亚必担当自己的罪， 因为悖逆她的 神。 她必倒在刀下； 婴孩必被摔死； 孕妇必被剖开。
