何西阿书 Hosea

12:1	[hgb]	以法莲吃风，且追赶东风。时常增添虚谎和强暴。与亚述立约，把油送到埃及。
	[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	[hgb]	耶和华与犹大争辩，必照雅各所行的惩罚他，按他所做的报应他。
	[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	[hgb]	他在腹中抓住哥哥的脚跟，壮年的时候与神较力。
	[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	[hgb]	与天使较力，并且得胜，哭泣恳求，在伯特利遇见耶和华。耶和华万军之神在那里晓谕我们以色列人，耶和华是他可记念的名。
	[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	[hgb]
	[bbe]	Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name.
12:6	[hgb]	所以你当归向你的神，谨守仁爱，公平，常常等候你的神。
	[bbe]	So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.
12:7	[hgb]	以法莲是商人，手里有诡诈的天平，爱行欺骗。
	[bbe]	As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.
12:8	[hgb]	以法莲说，我果然成了富足，得了财宝，我所劳碌得来的，人必不见有什么不义，可算为罪的。
	[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	[hgb]	自从你出埃及地以来，我就是耶和华你的神，我必使你再住帐棚，如在大会的日子一样。
	[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	[hgb]	我已晓谕众先知，并且加增默示，借先知设立比喻。
	[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	[hgb]	基列人没有罪孽吗？他们全然是虚假的。人在吉甲献牛犊为祭，他们的祭坛，好像田间犁沟中的乱堆。
	[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	[hgb]	从前雅各逃到亚兰地，以色列为得妻服事人，为得妻与人放羊。
	[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	[hgb]	耶和华借先知领以色列从埃及上来，以色列也借先知而得保存。
	[bbe]	And by a prophet the Lord made Israel come up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe.
12:14	[hgb]	以法莲大大惹动主怒，所以他流血的罪，必归在他身上，主必将那因以法莲所受的羞辱归还他。
	[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.
