何西阿书 10
1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄树，结果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭坛； 地土越肥美，就越造美丽的柱像。
Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. As his fruit increased, the more altars he built. As his land produced more, he improved his pillars.
2 他们心怀二意， 现今要定为有罪。 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛， 毁坏他们的柱像。
Their heart is deceitful; now they must bear their guilt. Yahweh will demolish their altars; he will destroy their pillars.
3 他们必说：我们没有王， 因为我们不敬畏耶和华。 王能为我们做什么呢？
For then they will say, “We have no king, for we did not fear Yahweh, and a king—what could he do for us?”
4 他们为立约说谎言，起假誓； 因此，灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。
They speak empty words and make covenants by swearing falsely. So justice springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5 撒马利亚的居民必因伯·亚文的牛犊惊恐； 崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司 都必因荣耀离开它，为它悲哀。
The inhabitants of Samaria will be afraid because of the calves of Beth Aven. Its people mourned over them, as did those idolatrous priests who had rejoiced over them and their splendor, but they are no longer there.
6 人必将牛犊带到亚述当作礼物， 献给耶雷布王。 以法莲必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。
They will be carried to Assyria as a present for the great king. Ephraim will be disgraced, and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 至于撒马利亚，她的王必灭没， 如水面的沫子一样。
Samaria's king will be destroyed, like a chip of wood on the surface of the water.
8 伯·亚文的邱坛— 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毁灭； 荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。 他们必对大山说：遮盖我们！ 对小山说：倒在我们身上！
The high places of wickedness will be destroyed. This is the sin of Israel! Thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. The people will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9 以色列啊， 你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。 你们的先人曾站在那里， 现今住基比亚的人 以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。
“Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah; there you have remained. Will not war overtake the sons of wrong in Gibeah?
10 我必随意惩罚他们。 他们为两样的罪所缠； 列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。
When I desire it, I will discipline them. The nations will gather together against them and put them in bonds for their double iniquity.
11 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊，喜爱踹谷， 我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上， 我要使以法莲拉套。 犹大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh the grain, so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will put a yoke on Ephraim; Judah will plow; Jacob will pull the harrow by himself.
12 你们要为自己栽种公义， 就能收割慈爱。 现今正是寻求耶和华的时候； 你们要开垦荒地，等他临到， 使公义如雨降在你们身上。
Sow righteousness for yourselves, and reap the fruit of covenant faithfulness. Break up your unplowed ground, for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
13 你们耕种的是奸恶， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是谎话的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行为， 仰赖勇士众多，
You have plowed wickedness; you reaped injustice. You have eaten the fruit of deception because you trusted in your plans and in your many soldiers.
14 所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声， 你一切的保障必被拆毁， 就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯·亚比勒， 将其中的母子一同摔死。
So a tumult of war will rise among your people, and all your fortified cities will be destroyed. It will be as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel on a day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.
15 因他们的大恶， 伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然灭绝。
So it will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be completely cut off.”
