Osee 10
1 Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄樹，結果繁多。 果子越多，就越增添祭壇； 地土越肥美，就越造美麗的柱像。
2 They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.
他們心懷二意， 現今要定為有罪。 耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇， 毀壞他們的柱像。
3 Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:
他們必說：我們沒有王， 因為我們不敬畏耶和華。 王能為我們做甚麼呢？
4 and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgement shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
他們為立約說謊言，起假誓； 因此，災罰如苦菜滋生在田間的誆溝中。
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
撒馬利亞的居民必因伯‧亞文的牛犢驚恐； 崇拜牛犢的民和喜愛牛犢的祭司 都必因榮耀離開它，為它悲哀。
6 And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.
人必將牛犢帶到亞述當作禮物， 獻給耶雷布王。 以法蓮必蒙羞； 以色列必因自己的計謀慚愧。
7 Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.
至於撒馬利亞，她的王必滅沒， 如水面的沫子一樣。
8 And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
伯‧亞文的邱壇－ 就是以色列取罪的地方必被毀滅； 荊棘和蒺藜必長在他們的祭壇上。 他們必對大山說：遮蓋我們！ 對小山說：倒在我們身上！
9 From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity
以色列啊， 你從基比亞的日子以來時常犯罪。 你們的先人曾站在那裏， 現今住基比亞的人 以為攻擊罪孽之輩的戰事臨不到自己。
10 to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins,
我必隨意懲罰他們。 他們為兩樣的罪所纏； 列邦的民必聚集攻擊他們。
11 Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fair part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.
以法蓮是馴良的母牛犢，喜愛踹穀， 我卻將軛加在牠肥美的頸項上， 我要使以法蓮拉套。 猶大必耕田； 雅各必耙地。
12 Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light you for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.
你們要為自己栽種公義， 就能收割慈愛。 現今正是尋求耶和華的時候； 你們要開墾荒地，等他臨到， 使公義如雨降在你們身上。
13 Therefore have you passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? you have eaten false fruit; for you has trusted in your sins, in the abundance of your power.
你們耕種的是奸惡， 收割的是罪孽， 吃的是謊話的果子。 因你倚靠自己的行為， 仰賴勇士眾多，
14 Therefore shall destruction rise up amongst your people, and all your strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,
所以在這民中必有鬨嚷之聲， 你一切的保障必被拆毀， 就如沙勒幔在爭戰的日子拆毀伯‧亞比勒， 將其中的母子一同摔死。
15 thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
因他們的大惡， 伯特利必使你們遭遇如此。 到了黎明，以色列的王必全然滅絕。
