Hosea 2

1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

1 “你们要称你们的弟兄为阿米 ，要称你们的姊妹为路哈玛 。

2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.

2 “你们去跟你们的母亲理论吧！ 因为她不再是我的妻子， 我也不再是她的丈夫。 叫她别再出卖色相， 别再露出乳间的淫态。

3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

3 不然，我要剥光她的衣服， 使她像初生之时一样赤身露体； 我要使她像沙漠，如旱地， 干渴而死。

4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.

4 我也不怜悯她的儿女， 因为他们都是娼妓所生的儿女。

5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’

5 他们的母亲淫乱放荡， 怀他们的人行为可耻， 她竟说，‘我要跟随我的情人， 他们给我食物和水、羊毛和麻布、油和酒。’

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.

6 因此，我要用荆棘围堵她的道， 筑墙阻断她的去路。

7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’

7 她要追随情人，却追不上； 寻找情人，却找不到。 于是，她说，‘我倒不如回到丈夫身边， 我从前的光景比现在还好。’

8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold—which they crafted for Baal.

8 她不知道是我给她五谷、新酒和油， 又赐给她大量金银， 她却用这些供奉巴力。

9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.

9 因此，到了收割和酿酒的季节， 我要收走我的五谷和新酒， 夺回我给她遮体的羊毛和麻布。

10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.

10 我要当着她情人的面揭露她的淫荡， 无人能从我手中把她救出去。

11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—all her appointed feasts.

11 我要终止她一切的欢庆， 终止她的节日、朔日 、安息日及其他节期。

12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.

12 她说她的葡萄树和无花果树是情人给她的嫖资， 我要摧毁它们， 使它们变为荒林， 被野兽吞吃。

13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she adorned herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.

13 我要惩罚她， 因为她在节日向巴力烧香。 那时她戴耳环佩首饰， 追逐她的情人，把我忘记。 这是耶和华说的。

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.

14 “然而，我要引导她， 领她到旷野， 柔声安慰她。

15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

15 我要把葡萄园再赐给她， 使灾祸之谷 成为希望之门。 她要在那里欢唱，如在妙龄之时， 如从埃及出来之日。”

16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’

16 耶和华说： “那时，你要称我为丈夫， 不再称我为主人 。

17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.

17 我要从你口中除掉巴力的名字， 再也不让你提起它们。

18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and battle in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.

18 那时，我要跟田间的走兽、空中的飞鸟及地上的爬虫立约。 我要从地上折弓断剑，废止战事， 使你安居乐业。

19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.

19 我要聘你永远做我的妻， 以仁义、正直、慈爱、怜悯聘你为妻。

20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”

20 我要以信实聘你为妻， 这样你必认识耶和华。”

21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD—“I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.

21 耶和华说： “那时，我要应允， 我要应允天的祈求， 天要应允地的祈求，

22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

22 地要应允五谷、新酒和油的祈求， 五谷、新酒和油要应允耶斯列的祈求。

23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

23 我要把你栽种在这片土地上，归我所有。 我要怜悯那不蒙怜悯的人， 对那不是我子民的人说，‘你是我的子民。’ 他们也要对我说，‘你是我的上帝。’”
