何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。
何14:1 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
何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。
何14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
何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。
何14:3 Asshur 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.
何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。
何14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
何14:5 我必向以色列如甘露,他必如百合花开放,如黎巴嫩的树木扎根。
何14:5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
何14:6 他的枝条必延长,他的荣华如橄榄树,他的香气如黎巴嫩的香柏树。
何14:6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
何14:7 曾住在他荫下的必归回,发旺如五谷,开花如葡萄树。他的香气如黎巴嫩的酒。
何14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
何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。”
何14:8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
何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。
何14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
