| 何西阿書-Hosea 第 12 章 |
| 12:1 | 以法蓮吃風，終日追趕東風；他增添虛謊和強暴；與亞述立約，把油送到埃及。 Ephraim feeds on wind And follows the east wind continually; He multiplies lies and violence. They make a covenant with Assyria, And oil is carried into Egypt. |
| 12:2 | 耶和華又與猶大爭辯，必照雅各所行的懲罰他，按他所作的報應他。 Jehovah has also a controversy with Judah And will punish Jacob according to his ways; According to his doings He will recompense him. |
| 12:3 | 他在母腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟，壯年的時候與神較力。 In the womb he grasped his brother by the heel, And in his full strength he contended with God. |
| 12:4 | 他與天使較力並且得勝；他哭泣懇求，在伯特利遇見耶和華；祂在那裡與我們說話， Indeed he contended with the Angel and prevailed; He wept and made supplication to Him. At Bethel he found Him; And there He spoke with us, |
| 12:5 | 祂是耶和華萬軍之神；耶和華是祂可記念的名。 Even Jehovah the God of hosts; Jehovah is His memorial. |
| 12:6 | 你當歸向你的神，謹守慈愛、公平，常常等候你的神。 And you, return there to your God; Keep lovingkindness and justice, And wait on your God continually. |
| 12:7 | 以法蓮是商人，手裡有詭詐的天平，喜愛欺詐。 He is a merchant; In his hand are balances of deceit; He loves to extort. |
| 12:8 | 以法蓮說，我果然成了富足，為自己得了財富；我一切勞碌得來的，人必不見有什麼不義，可算為罪的。 And Ephraim said, I have surely become rich; I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors They will find with me No iniquity, which would be sin. |
| 12:9 | 自從在埃及地以來，我就是耶和華你的神；我必使你再住帳棚，如在所定節期的日子一樣。 But I have been Jehovah your God Since the land of Egypt; Yet again I will cause you to dwell in tents As in the days of the appointed feast. |
| 12:10 | 我已曉諭眾申言者，並且加增異象，藉申言者使用比喻。 I have also spoken unto the prophets: And I have multiplied vision, And through the prophets I have used similitudes. |
| 12:11 | 基列人有罪孽麼？他們全然是虛假的。他們在吉甲獻牛為祭，他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。 Is Gilead iniquity? They are altogether vanity. In Gilgal they sacrifice oxen; Indeed their altars are like heaps In the furrows of a field. |
| 12:12 | 從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，以色列為得妻子服事人，為得妻子替人放羊。 And Jacob fled into the country of Aram; And Israel served for a wife, And for a wife he kept sheep. |
| 12:13 | 耶和華藉申言者領以色列從埃及上來，以色列也藉申言者而得保存。 And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up from Egypt, And by a prophet he was kept. |
| 12:14 | 以法蓮大大惹動主怒，所以他的主必使他流血的罪歸在他身上，必將他自己的羞辱還報他。 Ephraim provoked Him to bitter anger; Therefore his Lord will leave his bloodshed upon him And will recompense him with his own reproach. |
