何西阿書 12

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

斥責以法蓮與猶大

12 「以法蓮吃風，且追趕東風，時常增添虛謊和強暴，與亞述立約，把油送到埃及。 ²耶和華與猶大爭辯，必照雅各所行的懲罰他，按他所做的報應他。 ³他在腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟，壯年的時候與神較力。 ⁴與天使較力，並且得勝，哭泣懇求。在伯特利遇見耶和華， ⁵耶和華萬軍之神在那裡曉諭我們以色列人，耶和華是他可記念的名。

勸其歸誠神

⁶「所以你當歸向你的神，謹守仁愛、公平，常常等候你的神。

以法蓮行惡大干主怒

⁷「以法蓮是商人，手裡有詭詐的天平，愛行欺騙。 ⁸以法蓮說：『我果然成了富足，得了財寶。我所勞碌得來的，人必不見有什麼不義，可算為罪的。』 ⁹自從你出埃及地以來，我就是耶和華你的神，我必使你再住帳篷，如在大會的日子一樣。 ¹⁰我已曉諭眾先知，並且加增默示，藉先知設立比喻。」 ¹¹基列人沒有罪孽嗎？他們全然是虛假的！人在吉甲獻牛犢為祭，他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。 ¹²從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，以色列為得妻服侍人，為得妻與人放羊。 ¹³耶和華藉先知領以色列從埃及上來，以色列也藉先知而得保存。 ¹⁴以法蓮大大惹動主怒，所以他流血的罪必歸在他身上，主必將那因以法蓮所受的羞辱歸還他。

Hosea 12

English Standard Version

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
    and pursues ^(A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply ^(B)falsehood and violence;
    ^(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
    and ^(D)oil is carried to Egypt.

The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah

²^(E)The Lord has an indictment against Judah
    and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
    he will repay him according to his deeds.
³^(F)In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
    and in his manhood he strove with God.
⁴He strove with the angel and prevailed;
    he wept and sought his favor.
^(G)He met God^[a] at Bethel,
    and there God spoke with us—
⁵the Lord, the God of hosts,
    ^(H)the Lord is his memorial name:
⁶“So you, ^(I)by the help of your God, return,
    ^(J)hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.”

⁷A merchant, in whose hands are ^(K)false balances,
    he loves ^(L)to oppress.
⁸Ephraim has said, “Ah, but ^(M)I am rich;
    I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors ^(N)they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
⁹^(O)I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you ^(P)dwell in tents,
    as in the days of the appointed feast.

¹⁰^(Q)I spoke to the prophets;
    it was I who multiplied ^(R)visions,
    and through the prophets gave parables.
¹¹^(S)If there is iniquity in Gilead,
    they shall surely come to nothing:
^(T)in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
    ^(U)their altars also are like stone heaps
    ^(V)on the furrows of the field.
¹²^(W)Jacob fled to the land of Aram;
    there Israel ^(X)served for a wife,
    and for a wife he guarded sheep.
¹³By ^(Y)a prophet ^(Z)the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
    and by a prophet he was guarded.
¹⁴^(AA)Ephraim has given bitter provocation;
    so his Lord ^(AB)will leave his bloodguilt on him
    ^(AC)and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
