何西阿书 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华对以色列的爱
11 耶和华说：
“以色列年幼时，我就爱他，
视他为儿子，把他从埃及召出来。
2 可是，我越召唤他们，他们就跑得越远，
给巴力献祭，向偶像烧香。
3 是我教以法莲学步，张开双臂抱他们，
他们却不知道是我医治他们。
4 我用慈绳爱索牵引他们，
解开他们所负的重轭，
弯腰喂养他们。
5 “他们要返回埃及，
亚述要统治他们，
因为他们不肯归向我。
6 刀剑之灾要临到他们的城邑，
毁坏他们的城门，将他们吞噬，
因为他们倚仗自己的计谋。
7 我的子民执意离我而去，
他们虽然求告至高的我，
我也不会拯救他们。
8 以法莲啊，我怎能舍弃你？
以色列啊，我怎能弃绝你？
我怎能使你的下场如押玛？
我怎能对待你如对待洗扁？
我的心意改变，我满怀怜爱。
9 我不再发烈怒，
也不再毁灭以法莲。
因为我是上帝，不是世人，
是住在你们中间的圣者，
我必不带着烈怒来临。
10 “以色列子民必跟随耶和华，
祂要像狮子一样吼叫。
祂吼叫的时候，
他们要战战兢兢地从西方来。
11 他们必战战兢兢地来，
就像从埃及赶来的鸟儿，
像从亚述飞来的鸽子。
我要带他们返回家园。
这是耶和华说的。”
对以色列和犹大的指控
12 耶和华说：
“以法莲用谎话包围我，
以色列家用诡诈环绕我；
犹大依然背离圣洁、信实的上帝[a]。

何西阿书 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
责其辜负主恩
11 “以色列年幼的时候，我爱他，就从埃及召出我的儿子来。 2 先知越发招呼他们，他们越发走开，向诸巴力献祭，给雕刻的偶像烧香。 3 我原教导以法莲行走，用膀臂抱着他们，他们却不知道是我医治他们。 4 我用慈[a]绳爱索牵引他们，我待他们如人放松牛的两腮夹板，把粮食放在他们面前。
必遭重罚
5 “他们必不归回埃及地，亚述人却要做他们的王，因他们不肯归向我。 6 刀剑必临到他们的城邑，毁坏门闩，把人吞灭，都因他们随从自己的计谋。 7 我的民偏要背道离开我，众先知虽然招呼他们归向至上的主，却无人尊崇主。
仍施矜恤
8 “以法莲哪，我怎能舍弃你？以色列啊，我怎能弃绝你？我怎能使你如押玛？怎能使你如洗扁？我回心转意，我的怜爱大大发动。 9 我必不发猛烈的怒气，也不再毁灭以法莲，因我是神，并非世人，是你们中间的圣者，我必不在怒中临到你们。 10 耶和华必如狮子吼叫，子民必跟随他，他一吼叫，他们就从西方急速而来。 11 他们必如雀鸟从埃及急速而来，又如鸽子从亚述地来到，我必使他们住自己的房屋。这是耶和华说的。
12 “以法莲用谎话，以色列家用诡计围绕我，犹大却靠神掌权，向圣者有忠心[b]。

Names of God Bible
Israel Is Like a Bad Son
11 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and I called my son out of Egypt.
2 The more I called them,[a] the farther they went away.
They sacrificed to other gods—the Baals,
and they burned incense to idols.
3 I was the one who taught the people of Ephraim to walk.[b]
I took them by the hand.
But they didn’t realize that I had healed them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ropes of love.
I removed the yokes[c] from their necks.
I bent down and fed them.
5 “They will not return to Egypt.
Instead, Assyria will rule them
because they have refused to return to me.
6 War will sweep through their cities,
demolish their city gates,
and put an end to their plans.
7 My people are determined to turn away from me.
Even if they call to the Most High,
he will not pardon them.
8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboim?
I have changed my mind.
I am deeply moved.
9 I will not act on my burning anger.
I will not destroy Ephraim again.
I am El, not a human.
I am the Holy One among you,
and I will not come to you in anger.
10 “My people will follow Yahweh when I roar like a lion.
When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west.
11 They will come trembling like birds from Egypt
and like doves from Assyria.
I will settle them in their own homes,”
declares Yahweh.[d]
12 “Ephraim surrounds me with lies.
The nation of Israel surrounds me with deceit.”
Judah rebels against El, against the Holy One who is faithful.
