舊約 -- 何西阿書(Hosea) -- 第6章
6:1 來吧,我們歸向耶和華。他撕裂我們,也必醫治。他打傷我們,也必纏裹。
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
6:2 過兩天他必使我們蘇醒,第三天他必使我們興起,我們就在他面前得以存活。
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
6:3 我們務要認識耶和華,竭力追求認識他。他出現確如晨光,他必臨到我們像甘雨,像滋潤田地的春雨。
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
6:4 主說,以法蓮哪,我可向你怎樣行呢。猶大阿,我可向你怎樣做呢。因為你們的良善,如同早晨的云霧,又如速散的甘露。
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
6:5 因此,我藉先知砍伐他們,以我口中的話殺戮他們,我施行的審判如光發出。
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6:6 我喜愛良善(或作憐恤),不喜愛祭祀,喜愛認識神,勝于燔祭。
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
6:7 他們卻如亞當背約,在境內向我行事詭詐。
But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
6:8 基列是作孽之人的城。被血沾染。
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
6:9 強盜成群,怎樣埋伏殺人。祭司結黨,也照樣在示劍的路上殺戮,行了邪惡。
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
6:10 在以色列家,我見了可憎的事。在以法蓮那里有淫行,以色列被玷污。
I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
6:11 猶大阿,我使被擄之民歸回的時候,必有為你所命定的收場。
Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
