何西阿書

第12章

1 以法蓮吃風,且追趕東風,天天[daily]增添虛謊和強暴,與亞述立約,把油送到埃及。

2 耶和華與猶大爭辯,必照雅各所行的懲罰他,按他所作的報應他。

3 他在腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟,壯年的時候與神較力,

4 與天使較力,並且得勝,哭泣懇求,在伯.特利遇見耶和華,在那裏曉諭我們以色列人;

5 耶和華─大軍之神,耶和華是他可記念的名。

6 所以你當歸向你的神,謹守仁愛、公平,常常等候你的神。

7 以法蓮是商人,手裏有詭詐的天平,愛行欺壓[oppress]

8 以法蓮說:然而,我[Yet I]成了富足,得了財寶;我所勞碌得來的,人必不見有甚麼罪孽[iniquity],可算為罪的。

9 自從你出埃及地以來,我就是耶和華─你的神;我必使你[yet]住帳棚,如在大會的日子一樣。

10 我已藉眾先知曉諭[spoken by the prophets],並且加增異象[visions],藉先知設立比喻。

11 基列人沒有罪孽嗎?他們果然[surely]是虛假的。人在吉甲獻公牛犢[bullocks]為祭,他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。

12 從前雅各逃到敘利亞地,以色列為得妻服事人,為得妻與人放羊。

13 耶和華藉先知領以色列出埃及[out of Egypt];以色列也藉先知而得保存。

14 以法蓮大大惹動主怒,所以他流血的罪必歸在他身上。他的[his]主必將那因以法蓮所受的羞辱歸還他。

Hosea

Chapter 12

1 EPHRAIM feeds on wind and follows after the tempest all the day long; they have multiplied lies and prey; they have made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2 The LORD has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; and according to his devices will he recompense him.

3 In the womb he deceived his brother, and by his might he became great in the presence of God;

4 Yea, he prevailed over the angel, he made supplication to him; he found him in Beth-el, and there he spoke with him.

5 Even the LORD the God of hosts has remembered him.

6 Therefore return to your God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for your God continually.

7 The balances of deceit are in the hand of Canaan, he loves to oppress.

8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found grief; but all my labors will not be enough to rid me of the sin which I have sinned.

9 I am the LORD your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. I will again make you to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feasts.

10 I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.

11 In Gilead you suffered pain, and in Gilgal you sacrificed bullocks to falsehood; your altars are like dry stalks in a barren field.

12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

13 And by the prophets the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by the prophets was he preserved.

14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly; therefore his blood shall come upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
