何西阿书 Hosea

11:1	[hgb]	以色列年幼的时候，我爱他，就从埃及召出我的儿子来。
	[bbe]	When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.
11:2	[hgb]	先知越发招呼他们，他们越发走开，向诸巴力献祭，给雕刻的偶像烧香。
	[bbe]	When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
11:3	[hgb]	我原教导以法莲行走，用膀臂抱着他们，他们却不知道是我医治他们。
	[bbe]	But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.
11:4	[hgb]	我用慈绳（慈原文是人的）爱索牵引他们，我待他们如人放松牛的两腮夹板，把粮食放在他们面前。
	[bbe]	I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
11:5	[hgb]	他们必不归回埃及地，亚述人却要作他们的王，因他们不肯归向我。
	[bbe]	He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
11:6	[hgb]	刀剑必临到他们的城邑，毁坏门闩，把人吞灭，都因他们随从自己的计谋。
	[bbe]	And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.
11:7	[hgb]	我的民偏要背道离开我，众先知虽然招呼他们归向至上的主，却无人尊崇主。
	[bbe]	My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
11:8	[hgb]	以法莲哪，我怎能舍弃你，以色列阿，我怎能弃绝你，我怎能使你如押玛，怎能使你如洗扁，我回心转意，我的怜爱大大发动。
	[bbe]	How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
11:9	[hgb]	我必不发猛烈的怒气，也不再毁灭以法莲，因我是神，并非世人，是你们中间的圣者，我必不在怒中临到你们。
	[bbe]	I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath; I will not again send destruction on Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not put an end to you.
11:10	[hgb]	耶和华必如狮子吼叫，子民必跟随他。他一吼叫，他们就从西方急速而来。
	[bbe]	They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
11:11	[hgb]	他们必如雀鸟从埃及急速而来，又如鸽子从亚述地来到，我必使他们住自己的房屋。这是耶和华说的。
	[bbe]	Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord.
11:12	[hgb]	以法莲用谎话，以色列家用诡计围绕我，犹大却靠神掌权，向圣者有忠心。（或作犹大向神，向诚实的圣者犹疑不定）。
	[bbe]	The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side. ...
