何西阿书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华指控以色列
4 以色列人啊，
你们要留心听耶和华的话。
祂指控住在这片土地上的居民，说：
“这片土地上的人不忠不信，
毫无良善，不认识上帝。
2 他们咒诅、撒谎、凶杀、偷窃、通奸，
为所欲为，血案累累。
3 所以，这片土地要哀鸣，
所有的居民都要消亡，
田间的野兽、空中的飞鸟、
水里的鱼类也要灭绝。”
4 耶和华说：
“谁都不要指控别人，
谁都不要责备别人，
因为我要指控的是你们祭司。
5 你们白天黑夜都要跌倒，
先知也要跟你们一起跌倒，
所以我要毁灭你们的母亲以色列。
6 我的子民因不认识我而遭毁灭。
因为你们拒绝认识我，
我也要拒绝让你们做我的祭司；
因为你们忘记我的律法，
我也要忘记你们的儿女。
7 你们祭司越增多，
所犯的罪也越多，
所以我要使你们的尊荣变为羞耻。
8 你们祭司借我子民的赎罪祭自肥，
满心希望他们犯罪。
9 将来，我的子民如何，
你们祭司也如何。
我要照你们的所作所为惩罚你们、报应你们，
10 使你们吃却不得饱足，
行淫却不得后代[a]。
因为你们背弃耶和华，
11 沉溺酒色，丧失心志。
12 “我的子民祈求木头，
随从木杖的指引。
淫乱的心使他们走入歧途，
他们不忠不贞，背弃他们的上帝。
13 他们在山顶和高岗上的橡树、
杨树和栗树下献祭烧香，
因为树荫怡人。
“所以，你们的女儿卖淫，
你们的儿媳通奸。
14 但我不会因此而惩罚她们，
因为你们也与娼妓苟合，
与庙妓一起献祭。
无知的民族必走向灭亡。
Hosea 4
King James Version
4 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The Lord liveth.
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
