Hosea 6

1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

来吧，我们归向耶和华！ 他撕裂我们，也必医治； 他打伤我们，也必缠裹。

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

过两天他必使我们苏醒， 第三天他必使我们兴起， 我们就在他面前得以存活。

3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.

我们务要认识耶和华， 竭力追求认识他。 他出现确如晨光； 他必临到我们像甘雨， 像滋润田地的春雨。

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？ 犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？ 因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露。

5 Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.

因此，我借先知砍伐他们， 以我口中的话杀戮他们； 我施行的审判如光发出。

6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人， 祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮， 行了邪恶。

10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

在以色列家，我见了可憎的事； 在以法莲那里有淫行， 以色列被玷污。

11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候， 必有为你所命定的收场。
