1[Put] the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle [the enemy comes] against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.
1你用口吹角罷!敵人如鷹來攻打耶和華的家;因為這民違背我的約,干犯我的律法。
2They cry out to Me, 'My God, we of Israel know You!'
2他們必呼叫我說:我的神啊,我們以色列認識你了。
3Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him.
3以色列丟棄良善(或譯:福分);仇敵必追逼他。
4They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know [it]. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, That they might be cut off.
4他們立君王,卻不由我;他們立首領,我卻不認。他們用金銀為自己製造偶像,以致被剪除。
5He has rejected your calf, O Samaria, [saying], 'My anger burns against them!' How long will they be incapable of innocence?
5撒瑪利亞啊,耶和華已經丟棄你的牛犢;我的怒氣向拜牛犢的人發作。他們到幾時方能無罪呢?
6For from Israel is even this! A craftsman made it, so it is not God; Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
6這牛犢出於以色列,是匠人所造的,並不是神。撒瑪利亞的牛犢必被打碎。
7For they sow the wind And they reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; It yields no grain. Should it yield, strangers would swallow it up.
7他們所種的是風,所收的是暴風;所種的不成禾稼,就是發苗也不結實;即便結實,外邦人必吞吃。
8Israel is swallowed up; They are now among the nations Like a vessel in which no one delights.
8以色列被吞吃;現今在列國中,好像人不喜悅的器皿。
9For they have gone up to Assyria, [Like] a wild donkey all alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.
9他們投奔亞述,如同獨行的野驢;以法蓮賄買朋黨。
10Even though they hire [allies] among the nations, Now I will gather them up; And they will begin to diminish Because of the burden of the king of princes.
10他們雖在列邦中賄買人,現在我卻要聚集懲罰他們;他們因君王和首領所加的重擔日漸衰微。
11Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, They have become altars of sinning for him.
11以法蓮增添祭壇取罪;因此,祭壇使他犯罪。
12Though I wrote for him ten thousand [precepts] of My law, They are regarded as a strange thing.
12我為他寫了律法萬條,他卻以為與他毫無關涉。
13As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat [it], [But] the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish [them] for their sins; They will return to Egypt.
13至於獻給我的祭物,他們自食其肉,耶和華卻不悅納他們。現在必記念他們的罪孽,追討他們的罪惡;他們必歸回埃及。
14For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; And Judah has multiplied fortified cities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.
14以色列忘記造他的主,建造宮殿;猶大多造堅固城,我卻要降火焚燒他的城邑,燒滅其中的宮殿。
