何西阿书 12

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

斥責雅各和猶大的罪

12 “以法蓮吃風，

整天追趕東風，

增添虛謊和強暴。

他們與亞述結盟，

又給埃及送油。”（本節在《馬索拉文本》為12:2）

²耶和華與猶大爭辯；

他必照雅各所行的懲罰他，

按他所作的報應他。

³他在母腹中抓住他哥哥的腳跟，

壯年的時候又與　神角力。

⁴他與天使角力，並且得勝；

他哀哭，向他求恩。

他在伯特利遇見　神，

　神在那裡對他說話。

⁵耶和華是萬軍的　神，

耶和華是他的名號。

⁶所以你要靠著你的　神歸回，

謹守忠信和公平，

常常等候你的　神。

斥責以法蓮的罪行及其重罰

⁷以色列是個商人，手裡拿著詭詐的天平，喜愛欺壓別人。

⁸以法蓮說：“我成了富翁，

我為自己發了財；

在我所有的收益中，

人不能找出我有甚麼罪孽，可算為罪惡的。”

⁹“自從你出埃及地以來，

我就是耶和華你的　神；

我必使你再住在帳棚裡，

像在節日的日子一樣，

¹⁰我曾對先知說話，

加添許多異象；

又藉先知說比喻。

¹¹在基列仍有罪孽，

他們實在是沒有價值的。

他們在吉甲獻牛犢為祭，

他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的石堆。”

¹²從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，

以色列為得妻子而作工，

為得妻子而替人放羊。

¹³後來，耶和華藉著一位先知把以色列從埃及領上來，

也藉著一位先知，以色列得蒙看顧。

¹⁴以法蓮大大地惹了主的烈怒，

所以，他的主把他流人血的罪歸到他身上，把他當受的羞辱歸給他。

Hosea 12

English Standard Version

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
    and pursues ^(A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply ^(B)falsehood and violence;
    ^(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
    and ^(D)oil is carried to Egypt.

The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah

²^(E)The Lord has an indictment against Judah
    and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
    he will repay him according to his deeds.
³^(F)In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
    and in his manhood he strove with God.
⁴He strove with the angel and prevailed;
    he wept and sought his favor.
^(G)He met God^[a] at Bethel,
    and there God spoke with us—
⁵the Lord, the God of hosts,
    ^(H)the Lord is his memorial name:
⁶“So you, ^(I)by the help of your God, return,
    ^(J)hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.”

⁷A merchant, in whose hands are ^(K)false balances,
    he loves ^(L)to oppress.
⁸Ephraim has said, “Ah, but ^(M)I am rich;
    I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors ^(N)they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
⁹^(O)I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you ^(P)dwell in tents,
    as in the days of the appointed feast.

¹⁰^(Q)I spoke to the prophets;
    it was I who multiplied ^(R)visions,
    and through the prophets gave parables.
¹¹^(S)If there is iniquity in Gilead,
    they shall surely come to nothing:
^(T)in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
    ^(U)their altars also are like stone heaps
    ^(V)on the furrows of the field.
¹²^(W)Jacob fled to the land of Aram;
    there Israel ^(X)served for a wife,
    and for a wife he guarded sheep.
¹³By ^(Y)a prophet ^(Z)the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
    and by a prophet he was guarded.
¹⁴^(AA)Ephraim has given bitter provocation;
    so his Lord ^(AB)will leave his bloodguilt on him
    ^(AC)and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
