Hosea 6

1 Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.

1 “来吧，我们归向耶和华！ 祂撕裂我们，也必医治我们； 祂打伤我们，也必为我们包扎。

2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

2 过两天，祂必复兴我们； 第三天，祂必使我们站立起来， 我们好在祂面前存活。

3 So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

3 让我们认识耶和华， 竭力认识耶和华！ 祂如曙光一样必然出现， 祂必像甘霖一样临到我们， 又如滋润大地的春雨。”

4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.

4 耶和华说： “以法莲啊，我该怎样待你呢？ 犹大啊，我该怎样待你呢？ 你们对我的爱像晨雾， 如转瞬即逝的朝露。

5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

5 所以，我借先知砍碎你们， 用我的话杀戮你们， 我的审判必如光临到你们。

6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

6 我要的是怜悯，而非祭物； 我喜爱人认识我，胜于燔祭。

7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.

7 可是，你们却如亚当一样背约， 以诡诈待我。

8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.

8 基列是罪恶之城， 到处血迹斑斑。

9 Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.

9 祭司如同埋伏的强盗一样结伙打劫， 在通往示剑的路上行凶作恶。

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.

10 我在以色列家看见了可怕之事， 以法莲不忠不贞，玷污了自己。

11 Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.

11 “犹大啊，当我使我被掳的子民返乡时， 你必得到我给你定的下场 。
