用口吹角

¹你用口吹角吧！敌人如鹰来攻打耶和华的家；因为这民违背我的约，干犯我的律法。Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.

²他们必呼叫我说：我的　神啊，我们以色列认识你了。Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”

³以色列丢弃良善（或译：福分）；仇敌必追逼他。But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.

立王不由神，造牛犊偶像

⁴他们立君王，却不由我；他们立首领，我却不认。他们用金银为自己制造偶像，以致被剪除。They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.

⁵撒马利亚啊，耶和华已经丢弃你的牛犊；我的怒气向拜牛犊的人发作。他们到几时方能无罪呢？He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?

⁶这牛犊出于以色列，是匠人所造的，并不是神。撒马利亚的牛犊必被打碎。For this thing is from Israel—a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.

种的是风，收的是暴风

⁷他们所种的是风，所收的是暴风；所种的不成禾稼，就是发苗也不结实；即便结实，外邦人必吞吃。For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.

⁸以色列被吞吃；现今在列国中，好像人不喜悦的器皿。Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.

⁹他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴；以法莲贿买朋党。For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.

¹⁰他们虽在列邦中贿买人，现在我却要聚集惩罚他们；他们因君王和首领所加的重担日渐衰微。Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.

增添祭坛取罪

¹¹以法莲增添祭坛取罪；因此，祭坛使他犯罪。Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.

¹²我为他写了律法万条，他却以为与他毫无关涉。Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.

¹³至于献给我的祭物，他们自食其肉，耶和华却不悦纳他们。现在必记念他们的罪孽，追讨他们的罪恶；他们必归回埃及。Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.

¹⁴以色列忘记造他的主，建造宫殿；犹大多造坚固城，我却要降火焚烧他的城邑，烧灭其中的宫殿。Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.

不要像外邦人欢喜快乐

¹以色列啊，不要像外邦人欢喜快乐；因为你行邪淫离弃你的　神，在各谷场上如妓女喜爱赏赐。Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.

²谷场和酒榨都不够以色列人使用；新酒也必缺乏。The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.

³他们必不得住耶和华的地；以法莲却要归回埃及，必在亚述吃不洁净的食物。They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.

⁴他们必不得向耶和华奠酒，即便奠酒也不蒙悦纳。他们的祭物必如居丧者的食物，凡吃的必被玷污；因他们的食物只为自己的口腹，必不奉入耶和华的殿。They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please Him, but will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat will be defiled. For their bread will be for themselves; it will not enter the house of the LORD.

⁵在大会的日子，到耶和华的节期，你们怎样行呢？What will you do on the appointed day, on the day of the LORD’s feast?

⁶看哪，他们逃避灾难；埃及人必收殓他们的尸首，摩弗人必葬埋他们的骸骨。他们用银子做的美物上必长蒺藜；他们的帐棚中必生荆棘。For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.

降罚的日子临近

⁷以色列人必知道降罚的日子临近，报应的时候来到。民说：作先知的是愚昧；受灵感的是狂妄，皆因他们多多作孽，大怀怨恨。The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived—let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.

⁸以法莲曾作我　神守望的；至于先知，在他一切的道上作为捕鸟人的网罗，在他　神的家中怀怨恨。The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman, along with my God, yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths. Hostility is in the house of his God!

⁹以法莲深深地败坏，如在基比亚的日子一样。耶和华必记念他们的罪孽，追讨他们的罪恶。They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.

如葡萄在旷野

¹⁰主说：我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野；我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力·毗珥专拜那可羞耻的，就成为可憎恶的，与他们所爱的一样。I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.

¹¹至于以法莲人，他们的荣耀必如鸟飞去，必不生产，不怀胎，不成孕。Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.

¹²纵然养大儿女，我却必使他们丧子，甚至不留一个。我离弃他们，他们就有祸了。Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!

¹³我看以法莲如泰尔栽于美地。以法莲却要将自己的儿女带出来，交与行杀戮的人。I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

¹⁴耶和华啊，求你加给他们—加什么呢？要使他们胎坠乳干。Give them, O LORD—what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!

一切的恶事都在吉甲

¹⁵耶和华说：他们一切的恶事都在吉甲；我在那里憎恶他们。因他们所行的恶，我必从我地上赶出他们去，不再怜爱他们；他们的首领都是悖逆的。All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.

¹⁶以法莲受责罚，根本枯干，必不能结果，即或生产，我必杀他们所生的爱子。Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.

¹⁷我的　神必弃绝他们，因为他们不听从他；他们也必飘流在列国中。My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

茂盛的葡萄树，增添祭坛

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 was a luxuriant vine, yielding fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he increased the altars. The better his land produced, the better he made the sacred pillars.

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 hearts are devious; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars and demolish their sacred pillars.

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？Surely now they will say, “We have no king, for we do not revere the LORD. What can a king do for us?”

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 speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.

牛犊被带到亚述

⁵撒马利亚的居民必因伯·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它，为它悲哀。The people of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn over it with its idolatrous priests—those who rejoiced in its glory—for it has been taken from them into exile.

⁶人必将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。Yes, it will be carried to Assyria as tribute to the great king. Ephraim will be seized with shame; Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.

⁷至于撒马利亚，她的王必灭没，如水面的沫子一样。Samaria will be carried off with her king like a twig on the surface of the water.

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 of Aven will be destroyed—it is the sin of Israel; thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”

从基比亚的日子以来

⁹以色列啊，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。Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, and there you have remained. Did not the battle in Gibeah overtake the sons of iniquity?

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。I will chasten them when I please; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bondage for their double transgression.

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（或译：被骑）。犹大必耕田；雅各必耙地。Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.

栽种公义，收割慈爱

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 for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.

耕种奸恶的结局

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，You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,

¹⁴所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声，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。the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be demolished as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.

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。Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.

给撒狄教会

¹“你要写信给撒狄教会的使者，说：‘那有　神的七灵和七星的，说：我知道你的行为，按名你是活的，其实是死的。“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.

敞开的门
