何西阿书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
12 “以法莲以风为食，
整天追逐东风，
虚谎和暴力日益增多；
他跟亚述结盟，
向埃及进贡橄榄油。”
2 耶和华指控犹大；
要按雅各所行的惩罚他，
照雅各所做的报应他。
3 雅各在母胎之中曾抓住哥哥的脚跟，
壮年之时曾跟上帝角力。
4 他跟天使角力得胜，
向天使哭求福分。
他在伯特利遇见祂，
在那里与祂说话——
5 就是万军之上帝耶和华，
耶和华是祂的名。
6 所以，你们要归向你们的上帝，
持守仁爱和公义，常常等候祂。
7 以法莲是个不诚实的商人，
手里拿着骗人的秤，喜欢压榨人。
8 以法莲说：“我发财了，
我依靠自己致富。
没有人能从我的劳碌中找出过错和罪恶。”
9 耶和华说：
“从你们在埃及的时候，
我就是你们的上帝耶和华。
我要使你们再次住在帐篷里，
就像从前守节期时一样。
10 我曾对先知讲话，赐给他们许多异象，
借他们用比喻警告你们。”
11 基列人充满罪恶，终必灭亡。
他们在吉甲用公牛献祭，
他们的祭坛像田间犁沟里的石堆。
12 雅各曾逃往亚兰，
以色列在那里为娶妻而服侍人，
为得到妻子而替人牧羊。
13 耶和华借着先知带领以色列离开埃及，
也借着先知保护他。
14 但以法莲却极大地触怒耶和华，
所以他的主要让他血债血还，
以羞辱还羞辱。
Hosea 12
New International Version
Hosea 12
New International Version
12 [a]1 Ephraim(A) feeds on the wind;(B)
he pursues the east wind all day
and multiplies lies and violence.(C)
He makes a treaty with Assyria(D)
and sends olive oil to Egypt.(E)
2 The Lord has a charge(F) to bring against Judah;(G)
he will punish(H) Jacob[b] according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(I)
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;(J)
as a man he struggled(K) with God.
4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favor.
He found him at Bethel(L)
and talked with him there—
5 the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is his name!(M)
6 But you must return(N) to your God;
maintain love and justice,(O)
and wait for your God always.(P)
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales(Q)
and loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,(R)
“I am very rich; I have become wealthy.(S)
With all my wealth they will not find in me
any iniquity or sin.”
9 “I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt;(T)
I will make you live in tents(U) again,
as in the days of your appointed festivals.
10 I spoke to the prophets,
gave them many visions
and told parables(V) through them.”(W)
11 Is Gilead wicked?(X)
Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?(Y)
Their altars will be like piles of stones
on a plowed field.(Z)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram[c];(AA)
Israel served to get a wife,
and to pay for her he tended sheep.(AB)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,(AC)
by a prophet he cared for him.(AD)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed(AE)
and will repay him for his contempt.(AF)

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and chases after the east wind all day long.
He multiplies lies and devastation.
They make a covenant with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.
A History of Rebellion
2 The Lord has a dispute with Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
and repay him according to his doings.
3 In the womb, he took his brother by the heel,
and by his strength he strove with God.
4 He struggled with the angel, and prevailed;
he wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in Bethel,
and there He spoke with us.
5 As for the Lord the God of Hosts,
the Lord is the name by which He is invoked!
6 But as for you, return to your God,
hold fast to mercy and justice,
and wait on your God continually.
7 A merchant, in whose hands are deceitful balances,
he loves to oppress.
8 Ephraim said,
“Yet I am rich, I have found wealth for myself.
In all my labors, they shall find no offense in me
that would be sin.”
9 I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt.
I will again make you to dwell in tents,
as in the days of the appointed feast.
10 I have spoken by the prophets,
and I have multiplied visions,
and through the prophets I will bring destruction.[a]
11 In Gilead there is iniquity;
surely they will come to nothing.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
so their altars will be like stone heaps
in the furrows of the fields.
12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram,
and Israel served for a wife,
and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 By a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
and by a prophet he was preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly,
so his Lord shall leave his bloodguilt on him
and repay him for his reproach.
