何西阿書 5
1 眾祭司啊，要聽我的話！ 以色列家啊，要留心聽！ 王家啊，要側耳而聽！ 審判要臨到你們， 因你們在米斯巴如網羅， 在他泊山如鋪張的網。
Hear ye this—O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence, —for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 這些悖逆的人肆行殺戮， 罪孽極深； 我卻斥責他們眾人。
And, a slaughter, have apostates deeply designed, —though, I, was a rebuker to them all.
3 以法蓮為我所知； 以色列不能向我隱藏。 以法蓮哪，現在你行淫了， 以色列被玷污了。
I, have known Ephraim, and, Israel, hath not been hidden from me, —for, now, hast thou committed unchastity, O Ephraim, Israel, hath made himself impure.
4 他們所行的使他們不能歸向上帝； 因有淫心在他們裏面， 他們也不認識耶和華。
Their doings, will not suffer, them to return unto their God, —for, the spirit of unchastity, is within them, and, Yahweh, have they not known.
5 以色列的驕傲當面見證自己。 故此，以色列和以法蓮必因自己的罪孽跌倒； 猶大也必與他們一同跌倒。
Therefore will the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face, —and, Israel and Ephraim, shall stumble in their iniquity, even Judah with them, hath stumbled.
6 他們必牽着牛羊去尋求耶和華，卻尋不見； 他已經轉去離開他們。
With their flocks and with their herds, will they go to seek Yahweh, but shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7 他們向耶和華行事詭詐，生了私子。 到了月朔，他們與他們的地業必被吞滅。
With Yahweh, have they dealt treacherously, for, to alien children, have they given birth, —now, a new moon, shall devour them, with their portions.
8 你們當在基比亞吹角， 在拉瑪吹號， 在伯‧亞文吹出大聲，說： 便雅憫哪，有仇敵在你後頭！
Blow ye a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, —sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin!
9 在責罰的日子，以法蓮必變為荒場； 我在以色列支派中，指示將來必成的事。
Ephraim, shall become, a desolation, in the day of rebuke: Throughout the tribes of Israel, have I hide known what is sure.
10 猶大的首領如同挪移地界的人， 我必將忿怒倒在他們身上，如水一般。
The rulers of Judah have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.
11 以法蓮因樂從人的命令， 就受欺壓，被審判壓碎。
Oppressed, is Ephraim, crushed in judgment, —because he hath, wilfully, walked after falsehood.
12 我使以法蓮如蟲蛀之物， 使猶大家如朽爛之木。
But, I, was like a moth, to Ephraim, —and like rotten wood to the house of Judah.
13 以法蓮見自己有病， 猶大見自己有傷， 他們就打發人往亞述去見耶雷布王， 他卻不能醫治你們， 不能治好你們的傷。
When Ephraim, saw, his injury, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim unto Assyria, and [Judah] sent unto a hostile king, —yet, he, cannot heal you, nor will the wound, remove from you.
14 我必向以法蓮如獅子， 向猶大家如少壯獅子。 我必撕裂而去， 我要奪去，無人搭救。
For, I, will be as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah, —I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.
15 我要回到原處， 等他們自覺有罪，尋求我面； 他們在急難的時候必切切尋求我。
I will depart, will return unto my place! till what time they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my face, —In their trouble, will they make for me diligent search.
