何西阿書 Hosea

4:1	[hb5]	以色列人哪、你們當聽耶和華的話．耶和華與這地的居民爭辯、因這地上無誠實、無良善、無人認識　神。
	[kjv]	Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
	[bbe]	Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
4:2	[hb5]	但起假誓、不踐前言、殺害、偷盜、姦淫、行強暴、殺人流血接連不斷。
	[kjv]	By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
	[bbe]	There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
4:3	[hb5]	因此、這地悲哀、其上的民、田野的獸、空中的鳥、必都衰微、海中的魚也必消滅。
	[kjv]	Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
	[bbe]	Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.
4:4	[hb5]	然而人都不必爭辯、也不必指責、因為這民與抗拒祭司的人一樣。
	[kjv]	Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
	[bbe]	Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
4:5	[hb5]	你這祭司、必日間跌倒、．先知也必夜間與你一同跌倒．我必滅絕你的母親。
	[kjv]	Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
	[bbe]	You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
4:6	[hb5]	我的民因無知識而滅亡．你棄掉知識、我也必棄掉你、使你不再給我作祭司．你既忘了你　神的律法、我也必忘記你的兒女。
	[kjv]	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
	[bbe]	Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
4:7	[hb5]	祭司越發增多、就越發得罪我．我必使他們的榮耀變為羞辱、
	[kjv]	As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
	[bbe]	Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
4:8	[hb5]	他們喫我民的贖罪祭、滿心願意我民犯罪。
	[kjv]	They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
	[bbe]	The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.
4:9	[hb5]	將來民如何、祭司也必如何、我必因他們所行的懲罰他們、照他們所作的報應他們。
	[kjv]	And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
	[bbe]	And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
4:10	[hb5]	他們喫、卻不得飽．行淫、而不得立後．因為他們離棄耶和華、不遵他的命。
	[kjv]	For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
	[bbe]	They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.
4:11	[hb5]	姦淫和酒、並新酒、奪去人的心。
	[kjv]	Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
	[bbe]	Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom.
4:12	[hb5]	我的民求問木偶、以為木杖能指示他們、因為他們的淫心使他們失迷、他們就行淫離棄　神、不守約束。
	[kjv]	My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
	[bbe]	My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
4:13	[hb5]	在各山頂、各高岡的橡樹、楊樹、栗樹之下、獻祭燒香、因為樹影美好．所以你們的女兒淫亂、你們的新婦〔或作兒婦下同〕行淫。
	[kjv]	They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
	[bbe]	They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
4:14	[hb5]	你們的女兒淫亂、你們的新婦行淫、我卻不懲罰他們、因為你們自己離群與娼妓同居、與妓女一同獻祭、這無知的民、必致傾倒。
	[kjv]	I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
	[bbe]	I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
4:15	[hb5]	以色列阿、你雖然行淫、猶大卻不可犯罪．不要往吉甲去、不要上到伯亞文、也不要指著永生的耶和華起誓。
	[kjv]	Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
	[bbe]	Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
4:16	[hb5]	以色列倔強、猶如倔強的母牛．現在耶和華要放他們、如同放羊羔在寬闊之地。
	[kjv]	For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
	[bbe]	For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.
4:17	[hb5]	以法蓮親近偶像、任憑他罷。
	[kjv]	Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
	[bbe]	Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.
4:18	[hb5]	他們所喝的已經發酸．他們時常行淫、他們的官長最愛羞恥的事。
	[kjv]	Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
	[bbe]	Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
4:19	[hb5]	風把他們裹在翅膀裡．他們因所獻的祭必致蒙羞。
	[kjv]	The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
	[bbe]	They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.
