Hosea 14

1 Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.

1 以色列啊， 你被自己的罪恶绊倒了， 归向你的上帝耶和华吧！

2 Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.

2 你要归向耶和华， 向祂忏悔说： “求你赦免我们一切的罪， 施恩悦纳我们， 好叫我们以赞美为祭献给你！

3 Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”

3 亚述不能救我们， 我们不再依靠战马， 也不再称自己所造的神像为我们的上帝。 因为孤儿在你那里才能得到怜悯。”

4 I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.

4 耶和华说： “我要医治他们的叛道， 心甘情愿地爱他们， 因为我的怒气已经转离他们。

5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

5 我要像甘露一样滋润以色列， 使他绽放如百合花， 扎根如黎巴嫩的香柏树。

6 His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

6 他要长出嫩枝， 他要像橄榄树一样荣美， 如黎巴嫩的香柏树一般芳香。

7 They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

7 他要归回，住在我的荫下。 他要茂盛如五谷， 荣美如葡萄树， 声名远扬如黎巴嫩的美酒。

8 O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.

8 “以法莲啊，我与偶像有何关系？ 我应允你的祷告，看顾你。 我像一棵青翠的松树， 你的果实都来自于我。”

9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.

9 让那些智者明白这一切， 让那些明哲了解这一切。 因为耶和华的道是正道， 义人要行走在上面， 罪人却在上面跌倒。
