Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1It is commonly said: If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and marry another man, shall he return to her any more? shall not that woman be polluted, and defiled? but thou hast prostituted thyself to many lovers: nevertheless return to me, saith the Lord, and I will receive thee.
1有話說：人若休妻， 妻離他而去，作了別人的妻， 前夫豈能再收回她來？ 若收回她來 ，那地豈不是大大玷污了嗎？ 但你和許多親愛的行邪淫， 還可以歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
2Lift up thy eyes on high: and see where thou hast not prostituted thyself: Thou didst sit in the ways, waiting for them as a robber in the wilderness: and thou hast polluted the land with thy fornications, and with thy wickedness.
2你向淨光的高處舉目觀看， 你在何處沒有淫行呢？ 你坐在道旁等候， 好像 阿拉伯 人在曠野 埋伏 一樣， 並且你的淫行邪惡玷污了全地。
3Therefore the showers were withholden, and there was no lateward rain: thou hadst a harlot’s forehead, thou wouldst not blush.
3因此甘霖停止， 春雨不降。 你還是有娼妓之臉， 不顧羞恥。
4Therefore at least at this time call to me: Thou art my father, the guide of my virginity:
4從今以後，你豈不向我呼叫 說 ： 我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。
5Wilt thou be angry for ever, or wilt thou continue until the end? Behold, thou hast spoken, and hast done evil things, and hast been able.
5耶和華豈永遠懷 怒 ，存留到底嗎？ 看哪，你又發惡言又行壞事， 隨自己的私意而行。」
6And the Lord said to me in the days of king Josias: Hast thou seen what rebellious Israel hast done? she hath gone out of herself upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there.
6約西亞 王在位的時候，耶和華又對我說：「背道的 以色列 所行的，你看見沒有？她上各高山，在各青翠樹下行淫。
7And when she had done all these things, I said: Return to me, and she did not return. And her treacherous sister Juda saw,
7她行這些事以後，我說她必歸向我，她卻不歸向我。她奸詐的妹妹 猶大 也看見了。
8That because the rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had put her away, and had given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Juda was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself.
8背道的 以色列 行淫，我為這緣故給她休書休她；我看見她奸詐的妹妹 猶大 ，還不懼怕，也去行淫。
9And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land, and played the harlot with stones and with stocks.
9因 以色列 輕忽了她的淫亂，和石頭木頭行淫，地就被玷污了。
10And after all this, her treacherous sister Juda hath not returned to me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith the Lord.
10雖有這一切的事，她奸詐的妹妹 猶大 還不一心歸向我，不過是假意歸我。這是耶和華說的。」
11And the Lord said to me: The rebellious Israel hath justified her soul, in comparison of the treacherous Juda.
11耶和華對我說：「背道的 以色列 比奸詐的 猶大 還顯為義。
12Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and thou shalt say: Return, O rebellious Israel, saith the Lord, and I will not turn away my face from you: for I am holy, saith the Lord, and I will not be angry for ever.
12你去向北方宣告說： 耶和華說：背道的 以色列 啊，回來吧！ 我必不怒目看你們； 因為我是慈愛的， 我必不永遠存 怒 。 這是耶和華說的。
13But yet acknowledge thy iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God: and thou hast scattered thy ways to strangers under every green tree, and hast not heard my voice, saith the Lord.
13只要承認你的罪孽， 就是你違背耶和華－你的上帝， 在各青翠樹下向別 神 東奔西跑， 沒有聽從我的話。 這是耶和華說的。
14Return, O ye revolting children, saith the Lord: for I am your husband: and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a kindred, and will bring you into Sion.
14耶和華說：背道的兒女啊，回來吧！ 因為我作你們的丈夫， 並且我必將你們從一城取一人， 從一族取兩人，帶到 錫安 。
15And I will give you pastors according to my own heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and doctrine.
15我也必將合我心的牧者賜給你們。他們必以知識和智慧牧養你們。」
16And when you shall be multiplied, and increase in the land in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come upon the heart, neither shall they remember it, neither shall it be visited, neither shall that be done any more.
16耶和華說：「你們在國中生養眾多；當那些日子，人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃，不追想，不記念，不覺缺少，也不再製造。
17At that time Jerusalem shall be called the thrown of the Lord: and all the nations shall be gathered together to it, in the name of the Lord to Jerusalem, and they shall not walk after the perversity of their most wicked heart.
17那時，人必稱 耶路撒冷 為耶和華的寶座；萬國必到 耶路撒冷 ，在耶和華 立 名 的地方 聚集。他們必不再隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事。
18In those days the house of Juda shall go to the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land which I gave to your fathers.
18當那些日子， 猶大 家要和 以色列 家同行，從北方之地一同來到我賜給你們列祖為業之地。」
19But I said: How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a lovely land, the goodly inheritance of the armies of the Gentiles? And I said: Thou shalt call me father and shalt cease to walk after me.
19我說：我怎樣將你安置在兒女之中， 賜給你美地， 就是萬國中肥美的產業。 我又說：你們必稱我為父， 也不再轉去不跟從我。
20But as a woman that despiseth her lover, so hath the house of Israel despised me, saith the Lord.
20以色列 家，你們向我行詭詐， 真像妻子行詭詐離開她丈夫一樣。 這是耶和華說的。
21A voice was heard in the highways, weeping and howling of the children of Israel: because they have made their way wicked, they have forgotten the Lord their God.
21在淨光的高處聽見人聲， 就是 以色列 人哭泣懇求之聲， 乃因他們走彎曲之道， 忘記耶和華－他們的上帝。
22Return, you rebellious children, and I will heal your rebellions. Behold we come to thee: for thou art the Lord our God.
22你們這背道的兒女啊，回來吧！ 我要醫治你們背道的病。 看哪，我們來到你這裏， 因你是耶和華－我們的上帝。
23In very deed the hills were liars. and the multitude of the mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
23仰望 從小山或從大山的喧嚷中 得幫助 ， 真是枉然的。 以色列 得救，誠然在乎耶和華－我們的上帝。
24Confusion hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
24從我們幼年以來，那可恥的 偶像 將我們列祖所勞碌得來的羊群、牛群，和他們的兒女都吞吃了。
25We shall sleep in our confusion, and our shame shall cover us, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God.
25我們在羞恥中躺臥吧！願慚愧將我們遮蓋；因為從立國以來，我們和我們的列祖常常得罪耶和華－我們的上帝，沒有聽從耶和華－我們上帝的話。
