何西阿書 Hosea

12:1	[hb5]	以法蓮喫風、且追趕東風．時常增添虛謊和強暴．與亞述立約、把油送到埃及。
	[kjv]	Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
	[bbe]	Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.
12:2	[hb5]	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。
	[kjv]	The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
	[bbe]	The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts.
12:3	[hb5]	他在腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟、壯年的時候與　神較力、
	[kjv]	He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
	[bbe]	In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God;
12:4	[hb5]	與天使較力並且得勝、哭泣懇求、在伯特利遇見耶和華、耶和華萬軍之　神在那裡曉諭我們以色列人．耶和華是他可記念的名。
	[kjv]	Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
	[bbe]	He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;
12:5	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
	[bbe]	Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name.
12:6	[hb5]	所以你當歸向你的　神、謹守仁愛、公平、常常等候你的　神。
	[kjv]	Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
	[bbe]	So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.
12:7	[hb5]	以法蓮是商人、手裡有詭詐的天平、愛行欺騙。
	[kjv]	He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
	[bbe]	As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.
12:8	[hb5]	以法蓮說、我果然成了富足、得了財寶．我所勞碌得來的、人必不見有甚麼不義、可算為罪的。
	[kjv]	And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
	[bbe]	And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.
12:9	[hb5]	自從你出埃及地以來、我就是耶和華你的　神、我必使你再住帳棚、如在大會的日子一樣。
	[kjv]	And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
	[bbe]	But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.
12:10	[hb5]	我已曉諭眾先知、並且加增默示、藉先知設立比喻。
	[kjv]	I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
	[bbe]	My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.
12:11	[hb5]	基列人沒有罪孽麼．他們全然是虛假的．人在吉甲獻牛犢為祭、他們的祭壇、好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。
	[kjv]	Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
	[bbe]	In Gilead there is evil. They are quite without value; in Gilgal they make offerings of oxen; truly their altars are like masses of stones in the hollows of a ploughed field.
12:12	[hb5]	從前雅各逃到亞蘭地、以色列為得妻服事人、為得妻與人放羊。
	[kjv]	And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
	[bbe]	And Jacob went in flight into the field of Aram, and Israel became a servant for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
12:13	[hb5]	耶和華藉先知領以色列從埃及上來、以色列也藉先知而得保存。
	[kjv]	And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
	[bbe]	And by a prophet the Lord made Israel come up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe.
12:14	[hb5]	以法蓮大大惹動主怒、所以他流血的罪、必歸在他身上、主必將那因以法蓮所受的羞辱歸還他。
	[kjv]	Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
	[bbe]	I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.
