何西阿書 11
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
憐愛叛民
11 以色列年幼的時候,我愛他,
就從埃及召我的兒子出來。
2 先知[a]越是呼喚他們,
他們越是遠離[b],
向諸巴力獻祭,
為雕刻的偶像燒香。
3 我曾教導以法蓮行走,
我用膀臂[c]抱起他們,
他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。
4 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們;
我待他們如人鬆開牛兩腮旁邊的軛,
彎下身來餵養他們。
5 他們不必返回埃及地;
然而亞述人要作他們的王,
因他們不肯歸向我。
6 刀劍必臨到他們的城鎮,
毀壞門閂,吞滅眾人,
都因他們自己的計謀。
7 我的百姓偏要背離我,
他們雖向至高者呼求,
他卻不抬舉他們[d]。
8 以法蓮哪,我怎能捨棄你?
以色列啊,我怎能棄絕你?
我怎能使你如押瑪?
怎能使你如洗扁?
我回心轉意,
我的憐憫燃了起來。
9 我必不發猛烈的怒氣,
也不再毀滅以法蓮。
因我是 神,並非世人,
是你們中間的聖者;
我必不在怒中臨到你們。
10 耶和華如獅子吼叫,
他的兒女必跟隨他。
他一吼叫,
他們就從西方戰兢而來。
11 他們必如雀鳥從埃及戰兢而來,
又如鴿子從亞述地來到。
我必使他們住自己的房屋;
這是耶和華說的。
譴責以色列
12 以法蓮用謊言圍繞我,
以色列家用詭計環繞我;
猶大卻仍與 神同行[e],
向聖者忠心。
Hosea 11
New International Version
God’s Love for Israel
11 “When Israel was a child,(A) I loved(B) him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.(C)
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.[a](D)
They sacrificed to the Baals(E)
and they burned incense to images.(F)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;(G)
but they did not realize
it was I who healed(H) them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.(I)
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed(J) them.(K)
5 “Will they not return to Egypt(L)
and will not Assyria(M) rule over them
because they refuse to repent?(N)
6 A sword(O) will flash in their cities;
it will devour(P) their false prophets
and put an end to their plans.
7 My people are determined to turn(Q) from me.(R)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(S) Ephraim?(T)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(U)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(V) is aroused.(W)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(X)
nor will I devastate(Y) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(Z)—
the Holy One(AA) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
he will roar(AB) like a lion.(AC)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling(AD) from the west.(AE)
11 They will come from Egypt,
trembling like sparrows,
from Assyria,(AF) fluttering like doves.(AG)
I will settle them in their homes,”(AH)
declares the Lord.
Israel’s Sin
