Hosea 4

1 to hear: hear word LORD son: descendant/people Israel for strife to/for LORD with to dwell [the] land: country/planet for nothing truth: faithful and nothing kindness and nothing knowledge God in/on/with land: country/planet

以色列人哪，你們當聽耶和華的話。 耶和華與這地的居民爭辯， 因這地上無誠實， 無良善，無人認識上帝。

2 to swear and to deceive and to murder and to steal and to commit adultery to break through and blood in/on/with blood to touch

但起假誓，不踐前言， 殺害，偷盜，姦淫，行強暴， 殺人流血，接連不斷。

3 upon so to mourn [the] land: country/planet and to weaken all to dwell in/on/with her in/on/with living thing [the] land: country and in/on/with bird [the] heaven and also fish [the] sea to gather

因此，這地悲哀， 其上的民、田野的獸、 空中的鳥必都衰微， 海中的魚也必消滅。

4 surely man: anyone not to contend and not to rebuke man: anyone and people your like/as to contend priest

然而，人都不必爭辯，也不必指責， 因為這民與抗拒祭司的人一樣。

5 and to stumble [the] day and to stumble also prophet with you night and to cease mother your

你這祭司必日間跌倒； 先知也必夜間與你一同跌倒； 我必滅絕你的母親。

6 to cease people my from without [the] knowledge for you(m. s.) [the] knowledge to reject and to reject you from to minister to/for me and to forget instruction God your to forget son: child your also I

我的民因無知識而滅亡。 你棄掉知識， 我也必棄掉你， 使你不再給我作祭司。 你既忘了你上帝的律法， 我也必忘記你的兒女。

7 like/as to multiply they so to sin to/for me glory their in/on/with dishonor to change

祭司越發增多，就越發得罪我； 我必使他們的榮耀變為羞辱。

8 sin people my to eat and to(wards) iniquity: crime their to lift: trust soul: appetite his

他們吃我民的贖罪祭， 滿心願意我民犯罪。

9 and to be like/as people like/as priest and to reckon: punish upon him way: conduct his and deed his to return: pay to/for him

將來民如何， 祭司也必如何； 我必因他們所行的懲罰他們， 照他們所做的報應他們。

10 and to eat and not to satisfy to fornicate and not to break through for [obj] LORD to leave: forsake to/for to keep: look at

他們吃，卻不得飽； 行淫，而不得立後； 因為他們離棄耶和華， 不遵他的命。

11 fornication and wine and new wine to take: take heart

姦淫和酒，並新酒， 奪去人的心。

12 people my in/on/with tree: wood his to ask and rod his to tell to/for him for spirit fornication to go astray and to fornicate from underneath: instead God their

我的民求問木偶， 以為木杖能指示他們； 因為他們的淫心使他們失迷， 他們就行淫離棄上帝， 不守約束，

13 upon head: top [the] mountain: mount to sacrifice and upon [the] hill to offer: offer underneath: under oak and poplar and oak for pleasant shadow her upon so to fornicate daughter your and daughter-in-law: bride your to commit adultery

在各山頂，各高岡的橡樹、 楊樹、栗樹之下，獻祭燒香， 因為樹影美好。 所以，你們的女兒淫亂， 你們的新婦行淫。

14 not to reckon: punish upon daughter your for to fornicate and upon daughter-in-law: bride your for to commit adultery for they(masc.) with [the] to fornicate to separate and with [the] cult prostitute to sacrifice and people not to understand to ruin

你們的女兒淫亂， 你們的新婦行淫， 我卻不懲罰她們； 因為你們自己離群與娼妓同居， 與妓女一同獻祭。 這無知的民必致傾倒。

15 if to fornicate you(m. s.) Israel not be guilty Judah and not to come (in): come [the] Gilgal and not to ascend: rise Beth-aven Beth-aven and not to swear alive LORD

以色列啊，你雖然行淫， 猶大卻不可犯罪。 不要往吉甲去， 不要上到伯‧亞文， 也不要指着永生的耶和華起誓。

16 for like/as heifer to rebel to rebel Israel now to pasture them LORD like/as lamb in/on/with broad

以色列倔強， 猶如倔強的母牛； 現在耶和華要放他們， 如同放羊羔在寬闊之地。

以法蓮親近偶像， 任憑他吧！

風把他們裹在翅膀裏； 他們因所獻的祭必致蒙羞。
