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)
何西阿書 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶和華對以色列的愛
11 耶和華說:
「以色列年幼時,我就愛他,
視他為兒子,把他從埃及召出來。
2 可是,我越召喚他們,他們就跑得越遠,
給巴力獻祭,向偶像燒香。
3 是我教以法蓮學步,張開雙臂抱他們,
他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。
4 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們,
解開他們所負的重軛,
彎腰餵養他們。
5 「他們要返回埃及,
亞述要統治他們,
因為他們不肯歸向我。
6 刀劍之災要臨到他們的城邑,
毀壞他們的城門,將他們吞噬,
因為他們倚仗自己的計謀。
7 我的子民執意離我而去,
他們雖然求告至高的我,
我也不會拯救他們。
8 以法蓮啊,我怎能捨棄你?
以色列啊,我怎能棄絕你?
我怎能使你的下場如押瑪?
我怎能對待你如對待洗扁?
我的心意改變,我滿懷憐愛。
9 我不再發烈怒,
也不再毀滅以法蓮。
因為我是上帝,不是世人,
是住在你們中間的聖者,
我必不帶著烈怒來臨。
10 「以色列子民必跟隨耶和華,
祂要像獅子一樣吼叫。
祂吼叫的時候,
他們要戰戰兢兢地從西方來。
11 他們必戰戰兢兢地來,
就像從埃及趕來的鳥兒,
像從亞述飛來的鴿子。
我要帶他們返回家園。
這是耶和華說的。」
對以色列和猶大的指控
12 耶和華說:
「以法蓮用謊話包圍我,
以色列家用詭詐環繞我;
猶大依然背離聖潔、信實的上帝[a]。

Hosea 11
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.
Israel’s Sin
