何西阿书 6 – CCB & NIRV

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

何西阿书 6:1-11

以色列和犹大不思悔改

1来吧,让我们归向耶和华!

祂撕裂我们,也必医治我们;

祂击打我们,也必为我们裹伤。

2过两天,祂必复兴我们;

第三天,祂必使我们站立起来,

在祂面前存活。

3让我们认识耶和华,

竭力认识耶和华!

祂必到来,

如同必然显露的曙光,

又如滋润大地的春雨。

4耶和华说:

以法莲啊,我该怎样待你呢?

犹大啊,我该怎样待你呢?

你们对我的爱像晨雾,

如转瞬即逝的朝露。

5所以,我差遣先知用我的话杀戮你们,

我的审判必如闪电临到你们。

6我喜爱怜悯之心,而非祭物;

我喜爱人认识我,胜于燔祭。

7可是,你们却如亚当一样背约,

以诡诈待我。

8基列是罪恶之城,

到处血迹斑斑。

9祭司如同暗中抢劫的强盗,

成群结伙地作恶,

在通往示剑的路上谋害无辜。

10我在以色列家看见了可怕之事,

以法莲不忠不贞,玷污了自己。

11犹大啊,

你必得到我给你定的下场6:11 你必得到我给你定的下场”希伯来文是“我已经为你定下收割的时间”。

Hosea 6:1-11

Israel Refuses to Turn Away From Their Sins

1The people say, “Come.

Let us return to the Lord.

He has torn us to pieces.

But he will heal us.

He has wounded us.

But he’ll bandage our wounds.

2After two days he will give us new life.

On the third day he’ll make us like new again.

Then we will enjoy his blessing.

3Let’s recognize him as the Lord.

Let’s keep trying to know him.

You can be sure the sun will rise.

And you can be just as sure the Lord will appear.

He will come to renew us like the winter rains.

He will be like the spring rains that water the earth.”

4The Lord says, “Ephraim, what can I do with you?

And what can I do with you, Judah?

Your love for me vanishes like the morning mist.

It soon disappears like the early dew.

5So I used the words of my prophets to cut you in pieces.

I used my words to put you to death.

Then my judgments blazed out like the sun.

6I want mercy and not sacrifice.

I want you to recognize me as God

instead of bringing me burnt offerings.

7Just as at the city of Adam, they disobeyed me,

they have broken the covenant I made with them.

They were not faithful to me there.

8Ramoth Gilead is a city where sinful people live.

It is stained with footprints of blood.

9On the road to Shechem, groups of priests act like robbers.

They hide and wait to attack people.

They murder them.

So they carry out their evil plans.

10I have seen a horrible thing in Israel.

The people of Ephraim are unfaithful to their own God.

The people of Israel are ‘unclean.’

11“People of Judah, I have also appointed a time

for you to be destroyed.

“I would like to bless my people

with great success again.
