Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king: for there is a judgment against you, because you have been a snare to them whom you should have watched over, and a net spread upon Thabor.
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。
2 And you have turned aside victims into the depth: and I am, the teacher of them all.
這些悖逆的人肆行殺戮， 罪孽極深； 我卻斥責他們眾人。
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now Ephraim hath committed fornication, Israel is defiled.
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。
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
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。
5 And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.
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。
6 With their flocks, and with their herds, they shall go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
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。
7 They have transgressed against the Lord, for they have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
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。
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
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！
9 Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
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。
10 The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
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。
11 Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.
以法蓮因樂從人的命令， 就受欺壓，被審判壓碎。
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the house of Juda.
我使以法蓮如蟲蛀之物， 使猶大家如朽爛之木。
13 And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
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。
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and there is none that can rescue.
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。
15 I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek my face.
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。
