舊約 -- 何西阿書(Hosea) -- 第14章
14:1 以色列阿,你要歸向耶和華你的神。你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。
O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
14:2 當歸向耶和華,用言語禱告他說,求你除凈罪孽,悅納善行,這樣。我們就把嘴唇的祭,代替牛犢獻上。
Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
14:3 我們不向亞述求救。不騎埃及的馬。也不再對我們手所造的說,你是我們的神。因為孤兒在你耶和華那里得蒙憐憫。
Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
14:4 我必醫治他們背道的病,甘心愛他們,因為我的怒氣向他們轉消。
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
14:5 我必向以色列如甘露,他必如百合花開放,如黎巴嫩的樹木扎根。
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
14:6 他的枝條必延長,他的榮華如橄欖樹,他的香氣如黎巴嫩的香柏樹。
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
14:7 曾住在他蔭下的必歸回,發旺如五谷。開花如葡萄樹。他的香氣如黎巴嫩的酒。
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
14:8 以法蓮必說,我與偶像還有什么關涉呢。我耶和華回答他,也必顧念他。我如青翠的松樹,你的果子從我而得。
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
14:9 誰是智慧人,可以明白這些事,誰是通達人,可以知道這一切。因為,耶和華的道是正直的,義人必在其中行走,罪人卻在其上跌倒。
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
