何西阿蒙召

¹當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王，約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作以色列王的時候，耶和華的話臨到備利的兒子何西阿。This is the word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.

娶淫婦為妻

²耶和華初次與何西阿說話，對他說：「你去娶淫婦為妻，也收那從淫亂所生的兒女；因為這地大行淫亂，離棄耶和華。」When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, He told him, “Go, take a prostitute as your wife and have children of adultery, because this land is flagrantly prostituting itself by departing from the LORD.”

³於是，何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。這婦人懷孕，給他生了一個兒子。So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

耶斯列

⁴耶和華對何西阿說：「給他起名叫耶斯列；因為再過片時，我必討耶戶家在耶斯列殺人流血的罪，也必使以色列家的國滅絕。Then the LORD said to Hosea, “Name him Jezreel, for soon I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

⁵到那日，我必在耶斯列平原折斷以色列的弓。」And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”

羅‧路哈瑪

⁶歌篾又懷孕生了一個女兒，耶和華對何西阿說：「給她起名叫羅‧路哈瑪（就是不蒙憐憫的意思）；因為我必不再憐憫以色列家，決不赦免他們。Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them.

⁷我卻要憐憫猶大家，使他們靠耶和華─他們的　神得救，不使他們靠弓、刀、爭戰、馬匹，與馬兵得救。」Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”

羅‧阿米

⁸歌篾給羅‧路哈瑪斷奶以後，又懷孕生了一個兒子。After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son.

⁹耶和華說：「給他起名叫羅‧阿米（就是非我民的意思）；因為你們不作我的子民，我也不作你們的　神。」And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.

必稱為永生神的兒子

¹⁰然而，以色列的人數必如海沙，不可量，不可數。從前在甚麼地方對他們說「你們不是我的子民」，將來在那裡必對他們說「你們是永生　神的兒子」。Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

¹¹猶大人和以色列人必一同聚集，為自己立一個首領，從這地上去（或譯：從被擄之地上來），因為耶斯列的日子必為大日。Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of Jezreel.

¹你們要稱你們的弟兄為阿米（就是我民的意思），稱你們的姊妹為路哈瑪（就是蒙憐憫的意思）。“Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

控訴不忠的妻子

²你們要與你們的母親大大爭辯；因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫。叫她除掉臉上的淫像和胸間的淫態，Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.

³免得我剝她的衣服，使她赤體，與才生的時候一樣，使她如曠野，如乾旱之地，因渴而死。Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

⁴我必不憐憫她的兒女，因為他們是從淫亂而生的。I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.

⁵他們的母親行了淫亂，懷他們的母做了可羞恥的事，因為她說：我要隨從所愛的；我的餅、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒都是他們給的。For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’

用荊棘堵塞她的道

⁶因此，我必用荊棘堵塞她的道，築牆擋住她，使她找不著路。Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.

⁷她必追隨所愛的，卻追不上；她必尋找他們，卻尋不見，便說：我要歸回前夫，因我那時的光景比如今還好。She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’

⁸她不知道是我給她五穀、新酒，和油，又加增她的金銀；她卻以此供奉（或譯：製造）巴力。For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold—which they crafted for Baal.

⁹因此到了收割的日子，出酒的時候，我必將我的五穀新酒收回，也必將她應當遮體的羊毛和麻奪回來。Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.

¹⁰如今我必在她所愛的眼前顯露她的醜態；必無人能救她脫離我的手。And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.

¹¹我也必使她的宴樂、節期、月朔、安息日，並她的一切大會都止息了。I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—all her appointed feasts.

¹²我也必毀壞她的葡萄樹和無花果樹，就是她說「這是我所愛的給我為賞賜」的。我必使這些樹變為荒林，為田野的走獸所吃。I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.

¹³我必追討她素日給諸巴力燒香的罪；那時她佩帶耳環和別樣妝飾，隨從她所愛的，卻忘記我。這是耶和華說的。I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she adorned herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.

領她到曠野

¹⁴後來我必勸導她，領她到曠野，對她說安慰的話。“Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.

¹⁵她從那裡出來，我必賜她葡萄園，又賜她亞割谷作為指望的門。她必在那裡應聲（或譯：歌唱），與幼年的日子一樣，與從埃及地上來的時候相同。There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

你必稱呼我伊施

¹⁶耶和華說：「那日你必稱呼我伊施（就是我夫的意思），不再稱呼我巴力（就是我主的意思）；In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’

¹⁷因為我必從我民的口中除掉諸巴力的名號，這名號不再提起。For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.

¹⁸當那日，我必為我的民，與田野的走獸和空中的飛鳥，並地上的昆蟲立約；又必在國中折斷弓刀，止息爭戰，使他們安然躺臥。On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and battle in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.

聘你永遠歸我

¹⁹我必聘你永遠歸我為妻，以仁義、公平、慈愛、憐憫聘你歸我；So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.

²⁰也以誠實聘你歸我，你就必認識我─耶和華。And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”

²¹耶和華說：那日我必應允，我必應允天，天必應允地；“On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD—“I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.

²²地必應允五穀、新酒，和油，這些必應允耶斯列民（耶斯列就是　神栽種的意思）。And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

²³我必將她種在這地。素不蒙憐憫的，我必憐憫；本非我民的，我必對他說：你是我的民；他必說：你是我的　神。」And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

再去愛這婦人

¹耶和華對我說：「你再去愛一個淫婦，就是她情人所愛的；好像以色列人，雖然偏向別神，喜愛葡萄餅，耶和華還是愛他們。」Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love to offer raisin cakes to idols.”

²我便用銀子十五舍客勒，大麥一賀梅珥半，買她歸我。So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.

³我對她說：「你當多日為我獨居，不可行淫，不可歸別人為妻，我向你也必這樣。」Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”

以色列必多日獨居

⁴以色列人也必多日獨居，無君王，無首領，無祭祀，無柱像，無以弗得，無家中的神像。For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.

⁵後來以色列人必歸回（或譯：回心轉意），尋求他們的　神─耶和華和他們的王大衛。在末後的日子，必以敬畏的心歸向耶和華，領受他的恩惠。Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
