何西阿書 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
悔改帶來祝福
14 以色列啊，
你被自己的罪惡絆倒了，
歸向你的上帝耶和華吧！
2 你要歸向耶和華，
向祂懺悔說：
「求你赦免我們的罪，
施恩悅納我們，
好叫我們以讚美為祭獻給你！
3 我們不再向亞述求救，
不再依靠戰馬，
也不再稱自己所造的神像為我們的上帝。
耶和華啊，只有在你那裡，
孤兒才能得到憐憫。」
4 耶和華說：
「我要醫治他們的叛道，
心甘情願地愛他們，
因為我的怒氣已經轉離他們。
5 我要像甘露一樣滋潤以色列，
使他綻放如百合花，
扎根如黎巴嫩的香柏樹。
6 他要長出嫩枝，
他要像橄欖樹一樣榮美，
如黎巴嫩的香柏樹一般芳香。
7 他要歸回，住在我的蔭下。
他要茂盛如五穀，
榮美如葡萄樹，
聲名遠揚如黎巴嫩的美酒。
8 「以法蓮啊，你要遠離偶像。
我應允你的禱告，看顧你。
我像一棵青翠的松樹，
你的果實都來自於我。」
9 讓那些智者明白這一切，
讓那些明哲瞭解這一切。
因為耶和華的道是正道，
義人要行走在上面，
罪人卻在上面跌倒。
Hosea 14

Israel’s Future Blessing
14 [a](A)Return, Israel, to the Lord your God,
For you have stumbled [b]because of your (B)wrongdoing.
2 Take words with you and return to the Lord.
Say to Him, “(C)Take away all guilt
And [c]receive us graciously,
So that we may (D)present [d]the fruit of our lips.
3 Assyria will not save us,
We will (E)not ride on horses;
Nor will we say again, ‘(F)Our god’
To the (G)work of our hands;
For in (H)You the [e]orphan finds mercy.”
4 I will (I)heal their apostasy,
I will (J)love them freely,
Because My anger has (K)turned away from them.
5 I will be like the (L)dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the (M)lily,
And he will [f]take root like the cedars of (N)Lebanon.
6 His shoots will [g]sprout,
His [h]majesty will be like the (O)olive tree,
And his fragrance like the cedars of (P)Lebanon.
7 Those who (Q)live in his shadow
Will [i]again raise (R)grain,
And they will blossom like the vine.
His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what more have I to do with (S)idols?
It is I who answer and look after [j]you.
I am like a luxuriant (T)juniper;
From (U)Me [k]comes your fruit.
9 (V)Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the (W)ways of the Lord are right,
And the (X)righteous will walk in them,
But (Y)wrongdoers will stumble in them.
