何西阿書-Hosea 第 11 章

11:1以色列年幼的時候我愛他,就從埃及召出我的兒子來。
When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
11:2申言者越發招呼他們,他們越發走開,向諸巴力獻祭,給眾偶像燒香。
As they called them, So they went from them; To the Baals they sacrificed, And to the idols they burned incense.
11:3我原教導以法蓮行走,用雙臂抱著他們,他們卻不知道是我醫治了他們。
And it was I who taught Ephraim to walk (He took them in His arms), But they did not know that I healed them.
11:4我用慈繩愛索牽引他們;我待他們如人鬆開他們腮上的軛,溫和的餵養他們。
I drew them with cords of a man, With bands of love; And I was to them like those Who lift off the yoke on their jaws; And I gently caused them to eat.
11:5他們必不歸回埃及地,亞述人卻要作他們的王,因他們不肯歸向我。
They will not return to the land of Egypt, But the Assyrian will be their king, For they refused to return to Me.
11:6刀劍必在他們的城中揮動,毀壞門閂,把人吞滅,都因他們隨從自己的計謀。
And the sword will whirl about in their cities And will consume their bars, And it will devour them because of their own counsels.
11:7我的民偏要背道離開我,眾申言者雖然招呼他們歸向至上的主,卻無人尊崇祂。
Indeed My people are bent upon turning away from Me; Though they call them to Him who is on high, None at all exalts Him.
11:8以法蓮哪,我怎能捨棄你?以色列阿,我怎能將你交出?我怎能使你如押瑪?怎能使你如洗扁?我回心轉意,我的憐恤大大發動。
How shall I give you up, O Ephraim? How shall I deliver you up, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me; All My compassions have warmed.
11:9我必不發猛烈的怒氣,也不再毀滅以法蓮;因我是神,並非人,是你們中間的聖者,我必不在怒中臨到你們。
I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim; For I am God and not man, The Holy One in the midst of you, And I will not come in wrath.
11:10他們必跟隨耶和華。祂必如獅子吼叫;祂一吼叫,祂的兒女就從西方戰兢而來。
They will walk after Jehovah; He will roar like a lion. For He will roar, And the children will come trembling from the west.
11:11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。
They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt And like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will cause them to dwell in their houses, Declares Jehovah.
11:12以法蓮用謊言,以色列家用詭計圍繞我;猶大向神,向忠信的聖者,仍然猶疑不定。
Ephraim encompasses Me with lies, And the house of Israel, with deceit; And Judah is yet unsteadfast with God And with the Holy One, the Faithful One.
