何西阿書 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
7 每當我要醫治以色列的時候，
卻看見以法蓮的罪，撒瑪利亞[a]的惡。
他們行事詭詐；
盜賊進屋偷竊，強盜外出搶劫。
2 他們沒有想到我記得他們的所有惡行。
如今他們的罪惡環繞他們，
都暴露在我面前。
3 他們以罪惡取悅君王，
以謊言討好首領。
4 他們都是通姦之徒[b]，
就像熱烘烘的烤爐，
從揉麵到麵團發起，
烤餅的人不用挑爐火。
5 君王宴樂的時候，
首領們醉酒成病，
君王也與輕慢上帝的人聯手。
6 他們的心如烤爐，燃燒著陰謀。
他們的怒氣如整夜悶燒的爐火，
早晨爆發出熊熊烈焰。
7 他們像炙熱的烤爐，
吞滅他們的首領。
他們的君王都倒地而亡，
沒有一個向我求救。
8 「以法蓮與外族人混雜，
就像沒有翻過的餅[c]。
9 外族人耗盡了他的力量，
他卻茫然不知。
他頭髮斑白，
卻渾然不覺。
10 以色列人被自己的傲慢指控，
他們卻不歸向他們的上帝耶和華，
也不去尋求祂。
11 以法蓮像鴿子一樣愚蠢無知，
他們向埃及求救，又投奔亞述。
12 他們去的時候，
我要張網網住他們，
我要像打落飛鳥一樣打落他們。
我要按他們的惡行[d]懲罰他們。
13 他們有禍了，
因為他們背棄我！
他們要被毀滅了，
因為他們背叛我！
我要救贖他們，
他們卻向我撒謊。
14 他們沒有真心呼求我，
只是在床上哭號。
他們為求五穀和新酒而割傷自己，
卻背棄了我。
15 我訓練他們，使他們臂膀強壯，
他們卻陰謀作惡抗拒我。
16 他們回轉，卻不肯轉向至高者，
他們就像無用的斷弓。
他們的首領要因出言狂妄而喪身刀下，
成為埃及人的笑柄。
Hosea 7
King James Version
7 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
