5:1 众祭司阿，要听我的话，以色列家阿，要留心听。王家阿，要侧耳而听。审判要临到你们，因你们在米斯巴如网罗，在他泊山如铺张的网。

Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

 

5:2 这些悖逆的人，肆行杀戮，罪孽极深。我却斥责他们众人。

And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

 

5:3 以法莲为我所知，以色列不能向我隐藏。以法莲哪，现在你行淫了，以色列被玷污了。

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

 

5:4 他们所行的使他们不能归向神，因有淫心在他们里面，他们也不认识耶和华。

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

 

5:5 以色列的骄傲当面见证自己。故此，以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒，犹大也必与他们一同跌倒。

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

 

5:6 他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华，却寻不见，他已经转去离开他们。

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

 

5:7 他们向耶和华行事诡诈，生了私子。到了月朔，他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

 

5:8 你们当在基比亚吹角，在拉玛吹号，在伯亚文吹出大声，说，便雅悯哪，有仇敌在你后头。

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

 

5:9 在责罚的日子，以法莲必变为荒场。我在以色列支派中。指示将来必成的事。

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

 

5:10 犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人，我必将忿怒倒在他们身上，如水一般。

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

 

5:11 以法莲因乐从人的命令，就受欺压，被审判压碎。

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

 

5:12 我使以法莲如虫蛀之物，使犹大家如朽烂之木。

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

 

5:13 以法莲见自己有病，犹大见自己有伤，他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王，他却不能医治你们，不能治好你们的伤。

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

 

5:14 我必向以法莲如狮子，向犹大家如少壮狮子。我必撕裂而去，我要夺去，无人搭救。

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

 

5:15 我要回到原处，等他们自觉有罪（或作承认己罪），寻求我面，他们在急难的时候，必切切寻求我。

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
