旧约 -- 何西阿书(Hosea) -- 第 10 章 ( 本篇共有 14 章 ) 　

10:1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄树，结果繁多，果子越多，就越增添祭坛。地土越肥美，就越造美丽的柱像。

Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

10:2 他们心怀二意，现今要定为有罪。耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛，毁坏他们的柱像。

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

10:3 他们必说，我们没有王，因为我们不敬畏耶和华。王能为我们做什么呢。

For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

10:4 他们为立约说谎言，起假誓，因此，灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。

They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

10:5 撒玛利亚的居民，因伯亚文的牛犊惊恐，崇拜牛犊的民，和喜爱牛犊的祭司，都必因荣耀离开他，为他悲哀。

The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

10:6 牛犊带到亚述当作礼物，献给耶雷布王。以法莲必蒙羞，以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。

It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

10:7 至于撒玛利亚，她的王必灭没，如水面的沫子一样。

As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

10:8 伯亚文的邱坛就是以色列取罪的地方，必被毁灭，荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上，他们必对大山说，遮盖我们，对小山说，倒在我们身上。

The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

10:9 以色列阿，你从基比亚的日子以来，时常犯罪。你们的先人曾站在那里，现今住基比亚的人以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。

O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

10:10 我必随意惩罚他们。他们为两样的罪所缠，列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。

It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

10:11 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊，喜爱踹谷，我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上，我要使以法莲拉套（或作被骑）。犹大必耕田，雅各必耙地。

And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

10:12 你们要为自己栽种公义，就能收割慈爱。现今正是寻求耶和华的时候，你们要开垦荒地，等他临到，使公义如雨降在你们身上。

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

10:13 你们耕种的是奸恶，收割的是罪孽，吃的是谎话的果子。因你倚靠自己的行为，仰赖勇士众多。

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

10:14 所以在这民中必有哄囔之声，你一切的保障必被拆毁，就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯亚比勒，将其中的母子一同摔死。

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

10:15 因他们的大恶，伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。到了黎明，以色列的王必全然灭绝。

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
