何西阿书-Hosea 第 11 章

11:1以色列年幼的时候我爱他,就从埃及召出我的儿子来。
When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
11:2申言者越发招呼他们,他们越发走开,向诸巴力献祭,给众偶像烧香。
As they called them, So they went from them; To the Baals they sacrificed, And to the idols they burned incense.
11:3我原教导以法莲行走,用双臂抱着他们,他们却不知道是我医治了他们。
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我用慈绳爱索牵引他们;我待他们如人松开他们腮上的轭,温和的喂养他们。
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他们必不归回埃及地,亚述人却要作他们的王,因他们不肯归向我。
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刀剑必在他们的城中挥动,毁坏门闩,把人吞灭,都因他们随从自己的计谋。
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我的民偏要背道离开我,众申言者虽然招呼他们归向至上的主,却无人尊崇祂。
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以法莲哪,我怎能舍弃你?以色列阿,我怎能将你交出?我怎能使你如押玛?怎能使你如洗扁?我回心转意,我的怜恤大大发动。
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我必不发猛烈的怒气,也不再毁灭以法莲;因我是神,并非人,是你们中间的圣者,我必不在怒中临到你们。
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他们必跟随耶和华。祂必如狮子吼叫;祂一吼叫,祂的儿女就从西方战兢而来。
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他们必如雀鸟从埃及战兢而来,又如鸽子从亚述地来到。我必使他们住自己的房屋,这是耶和华说的。
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以法莲用谎言,以色列家用诡计围绕我;犹大向神,向忠信的圣者,仍然犹疑不定。
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.
