何西阿书 Hosea

14:1	[hgb]	以色列阿，你要归向耶和华你的神。你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。
	[bbe]	O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.
14:2	[hgb]	当归向耶和华，用言语祷告他说，求你除净罪孽，悦纳善行，这样。我们就把嘴唇的祭，代替牛犊献上。
	[bbe]	Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.
14:3	[hgb]	我们不向亚述求救。不骑埃及的马。也不再对我们手所造的说，你是我们的神。因为孤儿在你耶和华那里得蒙怜悯。
	[bbe]	Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.
14:4	[hgb]	我必医治他们背道的病，甘心爱他们，因为我的怒气向他们转消。
	[bbe]	I will put right their errors; freely will my love be given to them, for my wrath is turned away from him.
14:5	[hgb]	我必向以色列如甘露，他必如百合花开放，如利巴嫩的树木扎根。
	[bbe]	I will be as the dew to Israel; he will put out flowers like a lily, and send out his roots like Lebanon.
14:6	[hgb]	他的枝条必延长，他的荣华如橄榄树，他的香气如利巴嫩的香柏树。
	[bbe]	His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.
14:7	[hgb]	曾住在他荫下的必归回，发旺如五谷。开花如葡萄树。他的香气如利巴嫩的酒。
	[bbe]	They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.
14:8	[hgb]	以法莲必说，我与偶像还有什么关涉呢？我耶和华回答他，也必顾念他。我如青翠的松树，你的果子从我而得。
	[bbe]	As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.
14:9	[hgb]	谁是智慧人，可以明白这些事，谁是通达人，可以知道这一切。因为，耶和华的道是正直的，义人必在其中行走，罪人却在其上跌倒。
	[bbe]	He who is wise will see these things; he who has good sense will have knowledge of them. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the upright will go in them, but sinners will be falling in them.
