# 何-Hos 4 ## 何4:1 以色列人哪!你们当听耶和华的话。耶和华与这地的居民争辩,因这地上无诚实、无良善、无人认识神。 Hos 4:1 “Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land;” ## 何4:2 但起假誓,不践前言、杀害、偷盗、奸淫、行强暴、杀人流血接连不断。 Hos 4:2 “there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.” ## 何4:3 因此,这地悲哀;其上的民,田野的兽,空中的鸟,必都衰微,海中的鱼也必消灭。 Hos 4:3 “Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea are taken away.” ## 何4:4 然而人都不必争辩,也不必指责;因为这民与抗拒祭司的人一样。 Hos 4:4 “Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.” ## 何4:5 你这祭司,必日间跌倒;先知也必夜间与你一同跌倒;我必灭绝你的母亲。 Hos 4:5 You shall stumble by day; the prophet also shall stumble with you by night; and I will destroy your mother. ## 何4:6 我的民因无知识而灭亡。你弃掉知识,我也必弃掉你,使你不再给我作祭司。你既忘了你神的律法,我也必忘记你的儿女。 Hos 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” ## 何4:7 祭司越发增多,就越发得罪我;我必使他们的荣耀变为羞辱。 Hos 4:7 “The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.” ## 何4:8 他们吃我民的赎罪祭,满心愿意我民犯罪。 Hos 4:8 They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity. ## 何4:9 将来民如何,祭司也必如何,我必因他们所行的惩罚他们,照他们所作的报应他们。 Hos 4:9 “And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.” ## 何4:10 他们吃,却不得饱;行淫,而不得立后;因为他们离弃耶和华不遵他的命。 Hos 4:10 “They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the whore, but not multiply, because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish” ## 何4:11 奸淫和酒,并新酒,夺去人的心。 Hos 4:11 “whoredom, wine, and new wine, which take away the understanding.” ## 何4:12 我的民求问木偶,以为木杖能指示他们,因为他们的淫心使他们失迷,他们就行淫离弃神,不守约束。 Hos 4:12 “My people inquire of a piece of wood, and their walking staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore.” ## 何4:13 在各山顶,各高冈的橡树、杨树、栗树之下,献祭烧香,因为树影美好。所以你们的女儿淫乱,你们的新妇(或作“儿妇”。下同。)行淫。 Hos 4:13 “They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the whore, and your brides commit adultery.” ## 何4:14 你们的女儿淫乱,你们的新妇行淫,我却不惩罚她们;因为你们自己离群与娼妓同居,与妓女一同献祭。这无知的民,必致倾倒。 Hos 4:14 “I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.” ## 何4:15 以色列啊!你虽然行淫,犹大却不可犯罪。不要往吉甲去,不要上到伯亚文,也不要指着永生的耶和华起誓。 Hos 4:15 “Though you play the whore, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and swear not, “As the LORD lives.” ## 何4:16 以色列倔强,犹如倔强的母牛;现在耶和华要放他们,如同放羊羔在宽阔之地。 Hos 4:16 “Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?” ## 何4:17 以法莲亲近偶像,任凭他吧! Hos 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone. ## 何4:18 他们所喝的已经发酸;他们时常行淫,他们的官长最爱羞耻的事。 Hos 4:18 “When their drink is gone, they give themselves to whoring; their rulers dearly love shame.” ## 何4:19 风把他们裹在翅膀里;他们因所献的祭必致蒙羞。 Hos 4:19 “A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.”
