何西阿书 13
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
因拜偶像而榮華盡失
13 從前以法蓮一說話，人都戰兢。
他原在以色列中居高位，
但後來因事奉巴力犯了罪，就死了。
2 現在他們犯罪越來越多，
為自己做鑄像，
按著自己的技巧，用自己的銀子做偶像；
這些都是匠人的手工。
他們論到這些說：“向偶像獻祭的人，可以親吻牛犢。”
3 因此，他們必像早晨的雲霧，
又如易逝的朝露，
又像打穀場上的糠秕被旋風吹去，
又像煙氣從煙囪上騰。
因驕傲而忘記主
4 “自從你出埃及地以來，
我就是耶和華你的 神。
除我以外，你不可承認別的神；
除我以外，再沒有拯救者。
5 我曾在曠野，
在乾旱之地，認識你。
6 但他們得了餵養而飽足，
飽足以後，就心高氣傲，
因此忘記了我。
7 所以我要像獅子臨到他們，
像豹子埋伏在路旁。
8 我要襲擊他們，像一隻失掉幼熊的母熊，
撕裂他們的胸膛；
在那裡我必像一隻母獅吞吃他們；
野獸必撕裂他們。
必受極重的刑罰
9 “以色列啊，我要毀滅你，
誰能幫助你呢（本節在《馬索拉文本》的意思不明確；現參照《七十士譯本》和其他古譯本翻譯）？
10 現在你的王在哪裡？
讓他拯救你吧！
你所有的領袖在哪裡？讓他們治理你吧！
因為論到他們你曾請求：‘把王和領袖賜給我。’
11 我在忿怒中把王賜給你，
又在烈怒中把他廢去。
12 以法蓮的罪孽是封著的，
他的罪惡貯藏起來。
13 生產的疼痛要臨到他身上，
他卻是沒有智慧的人，
因為產期到了，他還遲延不破胎而出。
14 我要救贖他們脫離陰間的權勢嗎？
救贖他們脫離死亡嗎？
死亡啊，你的災害在哪裡？
陰間啊，你的毀滅在哪裡？
憐憫必從我眼前隱藏起來。
15 他雖然在蘆葦中長得茂盛，
但東風必要來到，
耶和華的風要從曠野上來，
他的水泉就乾涸，
他的泉源就枯竭。
他所貯藏的一切珍貴器皿，都被掠奪去了。
16 撒瑪利亞必承擔自己罪的刑罰，
因為他背叛了他的 神。
他們必倒在刀下。
他們的嬰孩被摔死，
他們的孕婦必被剖開肚腹。”（本節在《馬索拉文本》為14:1）
Hosea 13
New King James Version
Relentless Judgment on Israel
13 When Ephraim spoke, trembling,
He exalted himself in Israel;
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
2 Now they sin more and more,
And have made for themselves molded images,
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
“Let [a]the men who sacrifice [b]kiss the calves!”
3 Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud
And like the early dew that passes away,
(A)Like chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
4 “Yet (B)I am the Lord your God
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For (C)there is no savior besides Me.
5 (D)I [c]knew you in the wilderness,
(E)In the land of [d]great drought.
6 (F)When they had pasture, they were filled;
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.
7 “So (G)I will be to them like a lion;
Like (H)a leopard by the road I will lurk;
8 I will meet them (I)like a bear deprived of her cubs;
I will tear open their rib cage,
And there I will devour them like a lion.
The [e]wild beast shall tear them.
9 “O Israel, [f]you are destroyed,
But [g]your help is from Me.
10 [h]I will be your King;
(J)Where is any other,
That he may save you in all your cities?
And your judges to whom (K)you said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 (L)I gave you a king in My anger,
And took him away in My wrath.
12 “The(M) iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is stored up.
13 (N)The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him.
He is an unwise son,
For he should not stay long where children are born.
14 “I will ransom them from the [i]power of [j]the grave;
I will redeem them from death.
(O)O Death, [k]I will be your plagues!
O [l]Grave, [m]I will be your destruction!
(P)Pity is hidden from My eyes.”
15 Though he is fruitful among his brethren,
(Q)An east wind shall come;
The wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness.
Then his spring shall become dry,
And his fountain shall be dried up.
He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
16 Samaria [n]is held guilty,
For she has (R)rebelled against her God.
They shall fall by the sword,
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
And their women with child (S)ripped open.

The Lord's Relentless Judgment on Israel
13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
(A)he was exalted in Israel,
but he incurred guilt (B)through Baal and died.
2 And now they sin more and more,
and (C)make for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
(D)all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
“Those who offer human sacrifice (E)kiss calves!”
3 Therefore they shall be (F)like the morning mist
or (G)like the dew that goes early away,
(H)like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
or (I)like smoke from a window.
4 But (J)I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
(K)you know no God but me,
and (L)besides me there is no savior.
5 (M)It was I who knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought;
6 (N)but when they had grazed,[a] they became full,
(O)they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;
(P)therefore they forgot me.
7 So (Q)I am to them like a lion;
(R)like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
8 I will fall upon them (S)like a bear robbed of her cubs;
I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
(T)as a wild beast would rip them open.
9 He destroys[b] you, O Israel,
for you are against me, against (U)your helper.
10 (V)Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities?
Where are all your rulers—
those of whom (W)you said,
“Give me a king and princes”?
11 (X)I gave you a king in my anger,
and (Y)I took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is (Z)bound up;
his sin is (AA)kept in store.
13 (AB)The pangs of childbirth come for him,
but he is an unwise son,
for at the right time he does not present himself
(AC)at the opening of the womb.
14 (AD)I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol;
(AE)I shall redeem them from Death.[c]
(AF)O (AG)Death, where are your plagues?
(AH)O (AI)Sheol, where is your sting?
(AJ)Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
15 Though (AK)he may flourish among his brothers,
(AL)the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come,
rising from the wilderness,
(AM)and his fountain shall dry up;
his spring shall be parched;
it shall strip (AN)his treasury
of every precious thing.
16 [d] Samaria (AO)shall bear her guilt,
because (AP)she has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword;
(AQ)their little ones shall be dashed in pieces,
and their (AR)pregnant women ripped open.
