Hosea 1 撒马利亚必要承当罪罚,因为她背叛了自己的天主;她的居民必丧身刀下,他们的婴儿必被摔死,他们的孕妇必被剖腹。 2 Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed through your guilt. 3 Take with you words, and return to the LORD; Say to him, "Forgive all iniquity, and receive what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our stalls. 准备你们的话,好在回来归向上主时,对衪说:"求你宽恕我们一切的罪过,使我们重获幸福,叫我们好给你献上我们嘴唇的佳果。 4 5 I will heal their defection, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them. 我要治疗他们的不忠,我要从心里疼爱他们,因为我的怒气已远离了他们。 6 I will be like the dew for 我对以色列将如甘露;她将开花如百合,扎根如白杨; 7 and put forth his shoots.

What more has he to do with idols? I have humbled him, but I will prosper him. "I am like a verdant cypress tree"-- Because of me you bear fruit! 厄弗辣因和偶像还有什么关系?是我磨难了她,我也要福佑她;我如一棵翠绿的松树,由于我,她才结出了果实。 10 1 Let him who is wise understand these things; let him who is prudent know them. Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just walk, but sinners stumble in them. 谁明智,就会明了,谁聪敏就会领会,因为上主的道路是正直的;义人在上面畅行,恶人反在上面跌倒。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [10] (10)A later addition in the style of the wisdom literature. |
