Hosea 6

1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.

来吧，我们归向耶和华！ 他撕裂我们，也必医治； 他打伤我们，也必缠裹。

2 After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

过两天他必使我们苏醒， 第三天他必使我们兴起， 我们就在他面前得以存活。

3 And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'

我们务要认识耶和华， 竭力追求认识他。 他出现确如晨光； 他必临到我们像甘雨， 像滋润田地的春雨。

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？ 犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？ 因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾， 又如速散的甘露。

5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.

因此，我借先知砍伐他们， 以我口中的话杀戮他们； 我施行的审判如光发出。

6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.

我喜爱良善，不喜爱祭祀； 喜爱认识 神，胜于燔祭。

7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.

他们却如亚当背约， 在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.

基列是作孽之人的城， 被血沾染。

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.

强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人， 祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮， 行了邪恶。

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

在以色列家，我见了可憎的事； 在以法莲那里有淫行， 以色列被玷污。

11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,

犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候， 必有为你所命定的收场。
