Hosea 9

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.

1 以色列啊，不要像外邦人欢喜快乐； 因为你行邪淫离弃你的 神， 在各谷场上如妓女喜爱赏赐。

2 The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.

2 谷场和酒榨都不够以色列人使用； 新酒也必缺乏。

3 They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.

3 他们必不得住耶和华的地； 以法莲却要归回埃及， 必在亚述吃不洁净的食物。

4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please Him, but will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat will be defiled. For their bread will be for themselves; it will not enter the house of the LORD.

4 他们必不得向耶和华奠酒， 即便奠酒也不蒙悦纳。 他们的祭物必如居丧者的食物， 凡吃的必被玷污； 因他们的食物只为自己的口腹， 必不奉入耶和华的殿。

5 What will you do on the appointed day, on the day of the LORD’s feast?

5 在大会的日子， 到耶和华的节期，你们怎样行呢？

6 For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.

6 看哪，他们逃避灾难； 埃及人必收殓他们的尸首， 摩弗人必葬埋他们的骸骨。 他们用银子做的美物上必长蒺藜； 他们的帐棚中必生荆棘。

7 The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived—let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.

7 以色列人必知道降罚的日子临近， 报应的时候来到。 民说：作先知的是愚昧； 受灵感的是狂妄， 皆因他们多多作孽，大怀怨恨。

8 The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman, along with my God, yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths. Hostility is in the house of his God!

8 以法莲曾作我 神守望的； 至于先知，在他一切的道上作为捕鸟人的网罗， 在他 神的家中怀怨恨。

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.

9 以法莲深深地败坏， 如在基比亚的日子一样。 耶和华必记念他们的罪孽， 追讨他们的罪恶。

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.

10 主说：我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野； 我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子。 他们却来到巴力·毗珥专拜那可羞耻的， 就成为可憎恶的， 与他们所爱的一样。

11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.

11 至于以法莲人，他们的荣耀必如鸟飞去， 必不生产，不怀胎，不成孕。

12 Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!

12 纵然养大儿女， 我却必使他们丧子，甚至不留一个。 我离弃他们，他们就有祸了。

13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

13 我看以法莲如泰尔栽于美地。 以法莲却要将自己的儿女带出来， 交与行杀戮的人。

14 Give them, O LORD—what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!

14 耶和华啊，求你加给他们— 加什么呢？ 要使他们胎坠乳干。

15 All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.

15 耶和华说：他们一切的恶事都在吉甲； 我在那里憎恶他们。 因他们所行的恶， 我必从我地上赶出他们去， 不再怜爱他们； 他们的首领都是悖逆的。

16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.

16 以法莲受责罚， 根本枯干，必不能结果， 即或生产， 我必杀他们所生的爱子。

17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

17 我的 神必弃绝他们， 因为他们不听从他； 他们也必飘流在列国中。
