何西阿書

第11章

1 以色列年幼的時候,我愛他,就從埃及召出我的兒女[children]來。

2 先知越發呼喚[called]他們,他們越發走開,向巴力[Baalim]獻祭,給雕刻的[images]燒香。

3 [also]教導以法蓮行走,捉著他們的雙臂[taking them by their arms],他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。

4 我用[man]繩愛索牽引他們;我待他們如人放鬆牛的兩腮夾板,把糧食給他們[unto them]

5 他們必不歸回埃及地,亞述人卻要作他們的王,因他們不肯歸向我。

6 刀劍必臨到他們的城邑,毀壞枝子[branches],把人吞滅,都因他們隨從自己的計謀。

7 我的民偏要背道離開我;眾先知雖然呼喚[called]他們歸向至上者[most High],卻無人尊崇[him]

8 以法蓮哪,我怎能捨棄你?以色列啊,我怎能棄絕你?我怎能使你如押瑪?怎能使你如洗扁?我回心轉意,我的後悔都發動了[repentings are kindled together]

9 我必不發猛烈的怒氣,也不再毀滅以法蓮。因我是神,並非世人,是你們中間的聖者;我也不巡行進城[and I will not enter into the city]

10 耶和華必如獅子吼叫,子民必跟隨他。他一吼叫,他們就從西方戰兢[tremble]而來。

11 他們必如雀鳥從埃及戰兢[tremble]而來,又如鴿子從亞述地來到。我必安置他們在[place them in]自己的房屋。這是耶和華說的。

12 以法蓮用謊話,以色列家用詭計圍繞我;猶大卻仍與神一同掌權[yet ruleth with God]與聖民有忠心[faithful with the saints]

Hosea

Chapter 11

1 WHEN Israel was a child, then I loved him, and I called him, my son, out of Egypt.

2 Just as they were called, so they went away from my presence; they sacrificed to Baal and burned incense to idols.

3 It was I who cared for Ephraim and took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.

4 I drew them with cords of a man, with the bands of love; and I was to them as one who takes off the yoke from their neck, and I bent over them and fed them.

5 They shall not return to the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to repent.

6 The sword shall cause pain in their cities and consume their possessions, and they shall suffer because of their evil counsels.

7 And my people are inclined to backslide from me; though they shall call to God, they will take counsel together, and none at all would exalt him.

8 How shall I uphold you, O Ephraim? How shall I help you, O Israel? How shall I make you as Adamah? How shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my tender mercies are moved.

9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man in the midst of you; I am the Holy One, and I will not come to attack the city.

10 They shall walk after the LORD; he shall roar like a lion; because he shall roar, some of the people shall tremble.

11 They shall come fast like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will bring them back to their dwelling place, says the LORD.

12 Ephraim has compassed me about with lies, and the house of Israel and Judah with deceit; until the people of God was humbled, a people once holy and faithful.
