14:1
|
以色列啊，你要归向耶和华你的神；你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。
|
|
|
O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
|
|
14:2
|
当归向耶和华，用言语祷告他说：求你除净罪孽，悦纳善行；这样，我们就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犊献上。
|
|
|
Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render [as] bullocks [the offering of] our lips.
|
|
14:3
|
我们不向亚述求救，不骑埃及的马，也不再对我们手所造的说：你是我们的神。因为孤儿在你耶和华那里得蒙怜悯。
|
|
|
Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
|
|
14:4
|
我必医治他们背道的病，甘心爱他们；因为我的怒气向他们转消。
|
|
|
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.
|
|
14:5
|
我必向以色列如甘露；他必如百合花开放，如利巴嫩的树木扎根。
|
|
|
I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
|
|
14:6
|
他的枝条必延长；他的荣华如橄榄树；他的香气如利巴嫩的香柏树。
|
|
|
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
|
|
14:7
|
曾住在他荫下的必归回，发旺如五谷，开花如葡萄树。他的香气如利巴嫩的酒。
|
|
|
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive [as] the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
|
|
14:8
|
以法莲必说：我与偶像还有什么关涉呢？我耶和华回答他，也必顾念他。我如青翠的松树；你的果子从我而得。
|
|
|
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.
|
|
14:9
|
谁是智慧人，可以明白这些事；谁是通达人，可以知道这一切。因为，耶和华的道是正直的；义人必在其中行走，罪人却在其上跌倒。
|
|
|
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.
