何西阿書 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
以色列和猶大不思悔改
6 來吧，讓我們歸向耶和華！
祂撕裂我們，也必醫治我們；
祂擊打我們，也必為我們裹傷。
2 過兩天，祂必復興我們；
第三天，祂必使我們站立起來，
在祂面前存活。
3 讓我們認識耶和華，
竭力認識耶和華！
祂必到來，
如同必然顯露的曙光，
又如滋潤大地的春雨。
4 耶和華說：
「以法蓮啊，我該怎樣待你呢？
猶大啊，我該怎樣待你呢？
你們對我的愛像晨霧，
如轉瞬即逝的朝露。
5 所以，我差遣先知用我的話殺戮你們，
我的審判必如閃電臨到你們。
6 我喜愛憐憫之心，而非祭物；
我喜愛人認識我，勝於燔祭。
7 可是，你們卻如亞當一樣背約，
以詭詐待我。
8 基列是罪惡之城，
到處血跡斑斑。
9 祭司如同暗中搶劫的強盜，
成群結夥地作惡，
在通往示劍的路上謀害無辜。
10 我在以色列家看見了可怕之事，
以法蓮不忠不貞，玷污了自己。
11 猶大啊，
你必得到我給你定的下場[a]。
「每當我要使子民復興的時候，

Hosea 6
King James Version
6 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Hosea 6
New King James Version
A Call to Repentance
6 Come,(A) and let us return to the Lord;
For (B)He has torn, but (C)He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.
2 (D)After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 (E)Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established (F)as the morning;
(G)He will come to us (H)like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Impenitence of Israel and Judah
4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by (I)the words of My mouth;
And [b]your judgments are like light that goes forth.
6 For I desire (J)mercy[c] and (K)not sacrifice,
And the (L)knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 “But like [d]men they transgressed the covenant;
There they dealt treacherously with Me.
8 (M)Gilead is a city of evildoers
And [e]defiled with blood.
9 As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man,
So the company of (N)priests (O)murder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they commit (P)lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel:
There is the [f]harlotry of Ephraim;
Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you,
When I return the captives of My people.
