Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄樹，結果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭壇； 地土越肥美，就越造美麗的柱像。
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
他們心懷二意， 現今要定為有罪。 耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇， 毀壞他們的柱像。
3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we do not fear the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?”
他們必說：我們沒有王， 因為我們不敬畏耶和華。 王能為我們做甚麼呢？
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
他們為立約說謊言，起假誓； 因此，災罰如苦菜滋生在田間的誆溝中。
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven, for its people will mourn over it, along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
撒馬利亞的居民必因伯‧亞文的牛犢驚恐； 崇拜牛犢的民和喜愛牛犢的祭司 都必因榮耀離開它，為它悲哀。
6 It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
人必將牛犢帶到亞述當作禮物， 獻給耶雷布王。 以法蓮必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的計謀慚愧。
7 Samaria and her king float away like a twig on the water.
至於撒馬利亞，她的王必滅沒， 如水面的沫子一樣。
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
伯‧亞文的邱壇－ 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毀滅； 荊棘和蒺藜必長在他們的祭壇上。 他們必對大山說：遮蓋我們！ 對小山說：倒在我們身上！
9 “Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.
以色列啊， 你從基比亞的日子以來時常犯罪。 你們的先人曾站在那裏， 現今住基比亞的人 以為攻擊罪孽之輩的戰事臨不到自己。
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them when they are bound to their two transgressions.
我必隨意懲罰他們。 他們為兩樣的罪所纏； 列邦的民必聚集攻擊他們。
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
以法蓮是馴良的母牛犢，喜愛踹穀， 我卻將軛加在牠肥美的頸項上， 我要使以法蓮拉套。 猶大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
你們要為自己栽種公義， 就能收割慈愛。 現今正是尋求耶和華的時候； 你們要開墾荒地，等他臨到， 使公義如雨降在你們身上。
13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
你們耕種的是奸惡， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是謊話的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行為， 仰賴勇士眾多，
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
所以在這民中必有鬨嚷之聲， 你一切的保障必被拆毀， 就如沙勒幔在爭戰的日子拆毀伯‧亞比勒， 將其中的母子一同摔死。
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
因他們的大惡， 伯特利必使你們遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然滅絕。
