何西阿书 Hosea

7:1	[hgb]	我想医治以色列的时候，以法莲的罪孽，和撒玛利亚的罪恶，就显露出来。他们行事虚谎，内有贼人入室偷窃，外有强盗成群骚扰。
	[bbe]	When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
7:2	[hgb]	他们心里并不思想我记念他们的一切恶，他们所行的现在缠绕他们，都在我面前。
	[bbe]	And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.
7:3	[hgb]	他们行恶使君王欢喜，说谎使首领喜乐。
	[bbe]	In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.
7:4	[hgb]	他们都是行淫的，像火炉被烤饼的烧热，从抟面到发面的时候，暂不使火着旺。
	[bbe]	They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.
7:5	[hgb]	在我们王宴乐的日子，首领因酒的烈性成病。王与亵慢人拉手。
	[bbe]	On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.
7:6	[hgb]	首领埋伏的时候，心中热如火炉，就如烤饼的整夜睡卧，到了早晨火气炎炎。
	[bbe]	For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.
7:7	[hgb]	众民也热如火炉，烧灭他们的官长。他们的君王都仆倒而死。他们中间无一人求告我。
	[bbe]	They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.
7:8	[hgb]	以法莲与列邦人搀杂。以法莲是没有翻过的饼。
	[bbe]	Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
7:9	[hgb]	外邦人吞吃他劳力得来的，他却不知道，头发斑白，他也不觉得。
	[bbe]	Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.
7:10	[hgb]	以色列的骄傲当面见证自己，虽遭遇这一切，他们仍不归向耶和华他们的神，也不寻求他。
	[bbe]	And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.
7:11	[hgb]	以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知。他们求告埃及，投奔亚述。
	[bbe]	And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
7:12	[hgb]	他们去的时候，我必将我的网撒在他们身上，我要打下他们，如同空中的鸟。我必按他们会众所听见的惩罚他们。
	[bbe]	When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin.
7:13	[hgb]	他们因离弃我，必定有祸，因违背我，必被毁灭。我虽要救赎他们，他们却向我说谎。
	[bbe]	May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.
7:14	[hgb]	他们并不诚心哀求我，乃在床上呼号。他们为求五谷新酒聚集，仍然悖逆我。
	[bbe]	And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.
7:15	[hgb]	我虽教导他们，坚固他们的膀臂，他们竟图谋抗拒我。
	[bbe]	Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me.
7:16	[hgb]	他们归向，却不归向至上者。他们如同翻背的弓。他们的首领必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下，这在埃及地必作人的讥笑。
	[bbe]	They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them.
