何西阿书 第 5 章

¹众祭司啊，要听我的话！以色列家啊，要留心听！王家啊，要侧耳而听！审判要临到你们，因你们在米斯巴如网罗，在他泊山如铺张的网。Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

²这些悖逆的人肆行杀戮，罪孽极深；我却斥责他们众人。And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

³以法莲为我所知；以色列不能向我隐藏。以法莲哪，现在你行淫了，以色列被玷污了。I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

⁴他们所行的使他们不能归向神；因有淫心在他们里面，他们也不认识耶和华。They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

⁵以色列的骄傲当面见证自己。故此，以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒；犹大也必与他们一同跌倒。And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

⁶他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华，却寻不见；他已经转去离开他们。They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

⁷他们向耶和华行事诡诈，生了私子。到了月朔，他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

⁸你们当在基比亚吹角，在拉玛吹号，在伯亚文吹出大声，说：便雅悯哪，有仇敌在你后头！Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

⁹在责罚的日子，以法莲必变为荒场；我在以色列支派中，指示将来必成的事。Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

¹⁰犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人，我必将忿怒倒在他们身上，如水一般。The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

¹¹以法莲因乐从人的命令，就受欺压，被审判压碎。Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

¹²我使以法莲如虫蛀之物，使犹大家如朽烂之木。Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

¹³以法莲见自己有病，犹大见自己有伤，他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王，他却不能医治你们，不能治好你们的伤。When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

¹⁴我必向以法莲如狮子，向犹大家如少壮狮子。我必撕裂而去，我要夺去，无人搭救。For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

¹⁵我要回到原处，等他们自觉有罪（或译：承认己罪），寻求我面；他们在急难的时候必切切寻求我。I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
