Hosea 6

1 Come, and let us return unto Yahweh! for, he, hath torn, that he might heal us, —smitten, that he might 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 He will bring us to life, after two days, —on the third day, will he raise us up, that we may live before him.

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 let us know—let us press on to know—Yahweh, Like the dawn, is his coming forth assured, —that he may come like a down-pour upon us, like the harvest-rain, [and] the seed-rain of the land.

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 What can I do unto thee, O Ephraim? What can I do unto thee, O Judah? for, your lovingkindness, is like a morning cloud, yea, like the dew, early departing!

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 For this cause, have I hewn them in pieces by the prophets, I have slain them by the sayings of my mouth, —and, my justice, as a light 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, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice, —and the knowledge of God, more than ascending-offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 But, they, like Adam, have transgressed a covenant, —There, have they dealt treacherously with me.

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 Gilead, is a city of workers of iniquity, —tracked with blood.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And, like liers in wait for a man, in troops, is a band of priests, on the road, will they murder towards Shechem, —because, a shameful deed, they have done.

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 In the house of Israel, have I seen a horrible thing, —there, the unchastity of Ephraim, defiled is Israel.

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 Judah too! a harvest is appointed for thee, —in that I will bring back 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。
