何西阿书 11
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以色列忘恩負義
11 “以色列年幼的時候,我就愛他。
我從埃及召我的兒子出來。
2 可是我越發呼喚他們,
他們越發走開;
他們給巴力獻祭,
向偶像燒香。
3 然而是我教導以法蓮走路的;
我用雙臂抱他們,
他們卻不知道是我醫治了他們。
4 我用慈繩愛索(“慈繩愛索”原文意思不易肯定,或作“人的繩子、愛的繩索”或“皮製的繩索”)牽引他們,
我待他們像人拉高牛的軛在兩顎之上,
又向他們俯身,餵養他們。
必遭重罰
5 “他們必返回埃及地(“他們必返回埃及地”或譯:“難道他們不會返回埃及地嗎?”),
亞述要作他們的王;
因為他們不肯回來歸我。
6 刀劍必在他們的城中飛舞,
毀壞他們的門閂,
因著他們自己的計謀,吞滅他們。
7 我的子民決要背道離開我,
他們因著所負的軛而呼求,
卻沒有人給他們卸下。
神再施憐愛
8 “以法蓮啊,我怎能捨棄你!
以色列啊,我怎能把你交出來!
我怎能對你如同押瑪,
待你好像洗扁呢!
我的心腸翻轉,
我的憐憫發動。
9 我必不讓我的烈怒發作,
必不再毀滅以法蓮;
因為我是 神,不是世人;我是你們中間的聖者,
必不會含怒而來。
10 他們必跟隨耶和華;
耶和華要像獅子吼叫;
他一吼叫,
他們就從西方戰戰兢兢而來。
11 他們必戰戰兢兢而來,像從埃及趕來的飛鳥,
如從亞述地趕來的鴿子,
我要使他們住在自己的房子裡。這是耶和華說的。
12 以法蓮用虛謊,
以色列家用詭詐包圍著我;
猶大還是與 神對抗,
就是對抗那可信可靠的至聖者。”(本節在《馬索拉文本》為12:1)
Hosea 11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Lord’s Love for Israel
11 When Israel was a child, I loved him,(A)
and out of Egypt I called My son.(B)
2 The more they[a] called them,[b](C)
the more they[c] departed from Me.[d]
They kept sacrificing to the Baals(D)
and burning offerings to idols.(E)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,(F)
taking them[e] in My arms,(G)
but they never knew that I healed them.(H)
4 I led them with human cords,
with ropes of love.(I)
To them I was like one
who eases the yoke from their jaws;(J)
I bent down to give them food.(K)
5 Israel will not return to the land of Egypt
and Assyria will be his king,(L)
because they refused to repent.(M)
6 A sword will whirl through his cities;(N)
it will destroy and devour the bars of his gates,[f](O)
because of their schemes.(P)
7 My people are bent on turning from Me.(Q)
Though they call to Him on high,
He will not exalt them at all.
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?(R)
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?(S)
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?(T)
I have had a change of heart;
My compassion is stirred!
9 I will not vent the full fury of My anger;(U)
I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim.(V)
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One among you;(W)
I will not come in rage.[g]
10 They will follow the Lord;(X)
He will roar like a lion.(Y)
When He roars,
His children will come trembling from the west.(Z)
11 They will be roused like birds from Egypt
and like doves(AA) from the land of Assyria.(AB)
Then I will settle them in their homes.(AC)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
12 [h] Ephraim surrounds me with lies,(AD)
the house of Israel, with deceit.
Judah still wanders with God
and is faithful to the holy ones.[i][j]

New International Version
God’s Love for Israel
11 “When Israel was a child,(A) I loved(B) him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.(C)
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.[a](D)
They sacrificed to the Baals(E)
and they burned incense to images.(F)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;(G)
but they did not realize
it was I who healed(H) them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.(I)
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed(J) them.(K)
5 “Will they not return to Egypt(L)
and will not Assyria(M) rule over them
because they refuse to repent?(N)
6 A sword(O) will flash in their cities;
it will devour(P) their false prophets
and put an end to their plans.
7 My people are determined to turn(Q) from me.(R)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(S) Ephraim?(T)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(U)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(V) is aroused.(W)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(X)
nor will I devastate(Y) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(Z)—
the Holy One(AA) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
he will roar(AB) like a lion.(AC)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling(AD) from the west.(AE)
11 They will come from Egypt,
trembling like sparrows,
from Assyria,(AF) fluttering like doves.(AG)
I will settle them in their homes,”(AH)
declares the Lord.
