何西阿書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 人哪，你們當聽耶和華的話。 耶和華與這地的居民爭辯， 因這地上無誠實， 無良善，無人認識上帝。
1Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2但起 假 誓，不踐前言， 殺害，偷盜，姦淫，行強暴， 殺人流血，接連不斷。
2Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3因此，這地悲哀， 其上的民、田野的獸、 空中的鳥必都衰微， 海中的魚也必消滅。
3Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4然而，人都不必爭辯，也不必指責， 因為這民與抗拒祭司的人一樣。
4But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
5你這祭司必日間跌倒； 先知也必夜間與你一同跌倒； 我必滅絕你的母親。
5You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
6我的民因無知識而滅亡。 你棄掉知識， 我也必棄掉你， 使你不再給我作祭司。 你既忘了你上帝的律法， 我也必忘記你的兒女。
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7祭司越發增多，就越發得罪我； 我必使他們的榮耀變為羞辱。
7The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
8他們吃我民的 贖 罪 祭 ， 滿心願意我民犯罪。
8They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
9將來民如何， 祭司也必如何； 我必因他們所行的懲罰他們， 照他們所做的報應他們。
9And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
10他們吃，卻不得飽； 行淫，而不得立後； 因為他們離棄耶和華， 不遵 他的命 。
10They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have stopped obeying the LORD.
11姦淫和酒，並新酒， 奪去人的心。
11Promiscuity, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12我的民求問木偶， 以為木杖能指示他們； 因為他們的淫心使他們失迷， 他們就行淫離棄上帝， 不守約束，
12My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
13在各山頂，各高岡的橡樹、 楊樹、栗樹之下，獻祭燒香， 因為樹影美好。 所以，你們的女兒淫亂， 你們的新婦行淫。
13They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14你們的女兒淫亂， 你們的新婦行淫， 我卻不懲罰她們； 因為你們自己離群與娼妓同居， 與妓女一同獻祭。 這無知的民必致傾倒。
14I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
15以色列 啊，你雖然行淫， 猶大 卻不可犯罪。 不要往 吉甲 去， 不要上到 伯‧亞文 ， 也不要指着永生的耶和華起誓。
15Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
16以色列 倔強， 猶如倔強的母牛； 現在耶和華要放他們， 如同放羊羔在寬闊之地。
16For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
17以法蓮 親近偶像， 任憑他吧！
17Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
18他們所喝的已經發酸， 他們時常行淫， 他們的官長最愛羞恥的事。
18When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
19風把他們裹在翅膀裏； 他們因所獻的祭必致蒙羞。
19The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
