何西阿書 11

以色列年幼的時候，我愛他， 就從埃及召出我的兒子來。

yǐ sè liè nián yòu de shí hòu ， wǒ ài tā ， jiù cóng āi jí zhào chū wǒ de ér zi lái 。

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

先知越發招呼他們， 他們越發走開， 向諸巴力獻祭， 給雕刻的偶像燒香。

xiān zhī yuè fā zhāo hū tā men ， tā men yuè fā zǒu kāi ， xiàng zhū bā lì xiàn jì ， gěi diāo kè de ǒu xiàng shāo xiāng 。

They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.

我原教導以法蓮行走， 用膀臂抱着他們， 他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。

wǒ yuán jiào dǎo yǐ fǎ lián xíng zǒu ， yòng bǎng bì bào zhe tā men ， tā men què bù zhī dào shì wǒ yī zhì tā men 。

Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.

我用慈繩 愛索牽引他們； 我待他們如人放鬆牛的兩腮夾板， 把糧食放在他們面前。

wǒ yòng cí shéng ài suǒ qiān yǐn tā men ； wǒ dài tā men rú rén fàng sōng niú de liǎng sāi jiā bǎn ， bǎ liáng shí fàng zài tā men miàn qián 。

I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.

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。

tā men bì bù guī huí āi jí dì ， yà shù rén què yào zuò tā men de wáng ， yīn tā men bù kěn guī xiàng wǒ 。

“They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.

刀劍必臨到他們的城邑， 毀壞門閂，把人吞滅， 都因他們隨從自己的計謀。

dāo jiàn bì lín dào tā men de chéng yì ， huǐ huài mén shuān ， bǎ rén tūn miè ， dōu yīn tā men suí cóng zì jǐ de jì móu 。

The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.

我的民偏要背道離開我； 眾先知雖然招呼他們歸向至上的主， 卻無人尊崇主。

wǒ de mín piān yào bèi dào lí kāi wǒ ； zhòng xiān zhī suī rán zhāo hū tā men guī xiàng zhì shàng de zhǔ ， què wú rén zūn chóng zhǔ 。

My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt them.

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， 我的憐愛大大發動。

yǐ fǎ lián nǎ ， wǒ zěn néng shè qì nǐ ？ yǐ sè liè a ， wǒ zěn néng qì jué nǐ ？ wǒ zěn néng shǐ nǐ rú yā mǎ ？ zěn néng shǐ nǐ rú xǐ biǎn ？ wǒ huí xīn zhuǎn yì ， wǒ de lián ài dà dà fā dòng 。

“How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.

我必不發猛烈的怒氣， 也不再毀滅以法蓮。 因我是上帝，並非世人， 是你們中間的聖者； 我必不在怒中臨到你們。

wǒ bì bù fā měng liè de nù qì ， yě bú zài huǐ miè yǐ fǎ lián 。 yīn wǒ shì shén ， bìng fēi shì rén ， shì nǐ men zhōng jiān de shèng zhě ； wǒ bì bú zài nù zhōng lín dào nǐ men 。

I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.

耶和華必如獅子吼叫， 子民必跟隨他。 他一吼叫， 他們就從西方急速而來。

yē hé huá bì rú shī zi hǒu jiào ， zǐ mín bì gēn suí tā 。 tā yì hǒu jiào ， tā men jiù cóng xī fāng jí sù ér lái 。

They will walk after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

他們必如雀鳥從埃及急速而來， 又如鴿子從亞述地來到。 我必使他們住自己的房屋。 這是耶和華說的。

tā men bì rú què niǎo cóng āi jí jí sù ér lái ， yòu rú gē zi cóng yà shù dì lái dào 。 wǒ bì shǐ tā men zhù zì jǐ de fáng wū 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says the LORD.

以法蓮用謊話， 以色列家用詭計圍繞我； 猶大卻靠上帝掌權， 向聖者有忠心 。

yǐ fǎ lián yòng huǎng huà ， yǐ sè liè jiā yòng guǐ jì wéi rào wǒ ； yóu dà què kào shén zhǎng quán ， xiàng shèng zhě yǒu zhōng xīn 。

Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
