Hosea 6
English Standard Version Anglicised
Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant
6 “Come, let us (A)return to the Lord;
for (B)he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and (C)he will bind us up.
2 After two days (D)he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
3 (E)Let us know; (F)let us press on to know the Lord;
(G)his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us (H)as the showers,
(I)as the spring rains that water the earth.”
4 What shall I do with you, (J)O (K)Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O (L)Judah?
Your love is (M)like a morning cloud,
(N)like the dew that goes early away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have slain them (O)by the words of my mouth,
and my judgement goes forth as the light.
6 For (P)I desire steadfast love[a] and not sacrifice,
(Q)the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 But (R)like Adam they (S)transgressed the covenant;
(T)there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 (U)Gilead is a city of evildoers,
(V)tracked with blood.
9 As robbers (W)lie in wait for a man,
so the priests band together;
they murder on the way to (X)Shechem;
they commit villainy.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
(Y)Ephraim's whoredom is there; (Z)Israel is defiled.
11 For you also, O (AA)Judah, (AB)a harvest is appointed,
when (AC)I restore the fortunes of my people.

何西阿书 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
勸人民誠心歸向 神
6 “來吧！讓我們回轉歸向耶和華；
因為，他雖然撕裂了我們，但必定醫治我們；
他雖然擊傷了我們，卻必替我們裹傷。
2 兩天以後，他要使我們復原；
第三天，他使我們起來，
我們就可以活在他的面前。
3 讓我們認識，竭力追求認識耶和華。
他必定出現，像晨光一樣，
他必臨到我們，如雨水一般，
又像滋潤大地的春雨。
指摘人民虛偽的行為
4 “以法蓮啊！我要怎樣待你呢？
猶大啊，我要怎樣待你呢？
你們的愛心像早晨的雲霧；
又像瞬即消逝的朝露。
5 因此，我藉眾先知砍碎他們，
用我口中的話殺戮他們；
我的審判必如光一般發出。
6 我喜愛憐恤，不喜愛祭祀；
我喜愛人認識 神的知識，勝過人獻的燔祭。
7 可是他們卻在亞當城背約，
在那裡向我行詭詐。
8 基列是作孽之人的城，
他們的腳蹤染滿了血漬。
9 在往示劍的路上，祭司結黨殺害人，
就像埋伏路旁的強盜；
他們行了邪惡的事。
10 在以色列家！我看見了可怕的事；
那裡有以法蓮的淫行，以色列被玷污了。
11 猶大啊！我使我的子民歸回的時候，
必有為你定下的一個收割時期。”

Israel Unrepentant
6 “Come, let us return(A) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(B)
but he will heal us;(C)
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.(D)
2 After two days he will revive us;(E)
on the third day(F) he will restore(G) us,
that we may live in his presence.
3 Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,(H)
like the spring rains that water the earth.(I)”
4 “What can I do with you, Ephraim?(J)
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.(K)
5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth(L)—
then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](M)
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,(N)
and acknowledgment(O) of God rather than burnt offerings.(P)
7 As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(Q)
they were unfaithful(R) to me there.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,(S)
stained with footprints of blood.
9 As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,(T)
so do bands of priests;
they murder(U) on the road to Shechem,
carrying out their wicked schemes.(V)
10 I have seen a horrible(W) thing in Israel:
There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
Israel is defiled.(X)
11 “Also for you, Judah,
a harvest(Y) is appointed.
“Whenever I would restore the fortunes(Z) of my people,
