7:1 When I would heal Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered As well as the evil deeds of Samaria; For they practice falsehood. And the thief comes inside; The band of robbers makes raids outside.
7:2 And they do not say in their hearts That I remember all their evil. Now their doings are all around them; They are before My face.
他们心里并不说,我记得他们的一切恶。他们所行的现在缠绕他们,都在我面前。
7:3 They make the king glad with their evil, And the princes, with their lies.
他们以邪恶使君王欢喜,以谎言使首领喜乐。
7:4 All of them practice adultery; They are like an oven heated by the baker: He ceases from stirring the fire, After kneading the dough, until it is leavened.
他们都是行奸淫的,像火炉被烤饼者烧热:从抟面到发面的时候,他暂不使火发旺。
7:5 On the feast day of our king The princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scorners.
在我们王宴乐的日子,首领因酒的烈性成病;王与亵慢人拉手。
7:6 For they have made their heart ready Like an oven while they lie in wait: All night long Their baker sleeps, But in the morning the oven burns Like a flaming fire.
他们埋伏的时候,心中热如火炉:就如烤饼者整夜睡卧,到了早晨,火炉烧旺,火气炎炎。
7:7 All of them are hot like an oven, And they devour their judges; All their kings fall; There is no one among them who calls on Me.
众人也热如火炉,吞灭他们的审判官;他们的君王都仆倒而死;他们中间无一人呼求我。
7:8 Ephraim-among the peoples He mixes himself; Ephraim is a cake Not turned.
以法莲与列邦人搀杂;以法莲是没有翻过的饼。
7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, And he himself does not know it; Indeed gray hairs are all over him, And he himself does not know it.
外邦人吞吃他力量得来的,他自己却不知道;满头白发,他自己也不晓得。
7:10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face; Yet they have not returned to Jehovah their God, And they have not sought Him, because of all this.
以色列的骄傲当面见证自己;虽遭遇这一切,他们仍不归向耶和华他们的神,也不寻求祂。
7:11 And Ephraim has become like a silly dove Without understanding: They call to Egypt; They go to Assyria.
以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知:他们呼求埃及,投奔亚述。
7:12 When they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like the birds of heaven; I will chasten them according to the report given to their assembly.
7:13 Woe to them! For they have wandered from Me. Devastation to them! For they have transgressed against Me. And I would have redeemed them, But they have spoken lies against Me.
他们有祸了!因他们飘离了我。他们必遭毁灭,因他们违背我。我虽要救赎他们,他们却向我说谎。
7:14 And they did not cry unto Me in their heart When they howled in their beds. For grain and new wine they assemble themselves; They rebel against Me.
他们心中并不哀求我,乃在床上呼号。他们为求五谷新酒聚集,仍然悖逆我。
7:15 Though I trained them and strengthened their arms, They devise evil against Me.
我虽训练他们,坚固他们的膀臂,他们竟图谋恶事抗拒我。
7:16 They return, but not to Him who is on high; They are like a deceitful bow. Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision In the land of Egypt.
