< Hosea 14 >

1 Israel, be thou conuertid to thi Lord God, for thou fellist doun in thi wickidnesse.
以色列啊,你要歸向耶和華-你的上帝; 你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。
2 Take ye wordis with you, and be ye conuertid to the Lord; and seie ye to hym, Do thou awei al wickidnesse, and take thou good; and we schulen yelde the caluys of oure lippis.
當歸向耶和華, 用言語禱告他說: 求你除淨罪孽,悅納善行; 這樣,我們就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犢獻上。
3 Assur schal not saue vs, we schulen not stie on hors; and we schulen no more seie, Oure goddis ben the werkis of oure hondis; for thou schalt haue merci on that modirles child, which is in thee.
我們不向亞述求救, 不騎埃及的馬, 也不再對我們手所造的說: 你是我們的上帝。 因為孤兒在你-耶和華那裏得蒙憐憫。
4 Y schal make hool the sorewis of hem; Y schal loue hem wilfuli, for my strong veniaunce is turned awei fro hem.
我必醫治他們背道的病, 甘心愛他們; 因為我的怒氣向他們轉消。
5 Y schal be as a dew, and Israel schal buriowne as a lilie. And the root therof schal breke out as of the Liban;
我必向以色列如甘露; 他必如百合花開放, 如黎巴嫩的樹木扎根。
6 the braunchis therof schulen go. And the glorye therof schal be as an olyue tree, and the odour therof schal be as of the Liban.
他的枝條必延長; 他的榮華如橄欖樹; 他的香氣如黎巴嫩的香柏樹。
7 Thei schulen be conuertid, and sitte in the schadewe of hym; thei schulen lyue bi wheete, and schulen buriowne as a vyne. The memorial therof schal be as the wyne of Liban.
曾住在他蔭下的必歸回, 發旺如五穀,開花如葡萄樹。 他的香氣如黎巴嫩的酒。
8 Effraym, what schulen idols do more to me? Y schal here him, and Y schal dresse him as a greene fir tree. Thi fruit is foundun of me.
以法蓮必說: 我與偶像還有甚麼關涉呢? 我-耶和華回答他,也必顧念他。 我如青翠的松樹; 你的果子從我而得。
9 Who is wijs, and schal vndurstonde these thingis? who is vndurstondyng, and schal kunne these thingis? For the weies of the Lord ben riytful, and iust men schulen go in tho; but trespassours schulen falle in tho.
誰是智慧人?可以明白這些事; 誰是通達人?可以知道這一切。 因為,耶和華的道是正直的; 義人必在其中行走, 罪人卻在其上跌倒。
