Chapter 11

11:1 [hgb]  以 色 列 年 幼 的 时 候 ， 我 爱 他 ， 就 从 埃 及 召 出 我 的 儿 子 来 。 
    [kjv]  When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
    [bbe]  When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.
11:2 [hgb]  先 知 越 发 招 呼 他 们 ， 他 们 越 发 走 开 ， 向 诸 巴 力 献 祭 ， 给 雕 刻 的 偶 像 烧 香 。 
    [kjv]  As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense¹ to graven images.
    [bbe]  When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
11:3 [hgb]  我 原 教 导 以 法 莲 行 走 ， 用 膀 臂 抱 着 他 们 ， 他 们 却 不 知 道 是 我 医 治 他 们 。 
    [kjv]  I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
    [bbe]  But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.
11:4 [hgb]  我 用 慈 绳 （ 慈 原 文 是 人 的 ） 爱 索 牵 引 他 们 ， 我 待 他 们 如 人 放 松 牛 的 两 腮 夹 板 ， 把 粮 食 放 在 他 们 面 前 。 
    [kjv]  I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke² on their jaws³, and I laid meat unto them.
    [bbe]  I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
11:5 [hgb]  他 们 必 不 归 回 埃 及 地 ， 亚 述 人 却 要 作 他 们 的 王 ， 因 他 们 不 肯 归 向 我 。 
    [kjv]  He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
    [bbe]  He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
11:6 [hgb]  刀 剑 必 临 到 他 们 的 城 邑 ， 毁 坏 门 闩 ， 把 人 吞 灭 ， 都 因 他 们 随 从 自 己 的 计 谋 。 
    [kjv]  And the sword shall abide⁴ on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour⁵ them, because of their own counsels.
    [bbe]  And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.
11:7 [hgb]  我 的 民 偏 要 背 道 离 开 我 ， 众 先 知 虽 然 招 呼 他 们 归 向 至 上 的 主 ， 却 无 人 尊 崇 主 。 
    [kjv]  And my people are bent⁶ to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt⁷ him.
    [bbe]  My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
11:8 [hgb]  以 法 莲 哪 ， 我 怎 能 舍 弃 你 ， 以 色 列 阿 ， 我 怎 能 弃 绝 你 ， 我 怎 能 使 你 如 押 玛 ， 怎 能 使 你 如 洗 扁 ， 我 回 心 转 意 ， 我 的 怜 爱 大 大 发 动 。 
    [kjv]  How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled⁸ together.
    [bbe]  How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour⁹, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
11:9 [hgb]  我 必 不 发 猛 烈 的 怒 气 ， 也 不 再 毁 灭 以 法 莲 ， 因 我 是 神 ， 并 非 世 人 ， 是 你 们 中 间 的 圣 者 ， 我 必 不 在 怒 中 临 到 你 们 。 
    [kjv]  I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
    [bbe]  I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath¹⁰; I will not again send destruction on Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not put an end to you.
11:10 [hgb]  耶 和 华 必 如 狮 子 吼 叫 ， 子 民 必 跟 随 他 。 他 一 吼 叫 ， 他 们 就 从 西 方 急 速 而 来 。 
    [kjv]  They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
    [bbe]  They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
11:11 [hgb]  他 们 必 如 雀 鸟 从 埃 及 急 速 而 来 ， 又 如 鸽 子 从 亚 述 地 来 到 ， 我 必 使 他 们 住 自 己 的 房 屋 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
    [bbe]  Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord.
11:12 [hgb]  以 法 莲 用 谎 话 ， 以 色 列 家 用 诡 计 围 绕 我 ， 犹 大 却 靠 神 掌 权 ， 向 圣 者 有 忠 心 。 （ 或 作 犹 大 向 神 ， 向 诚 实 的 圣 者 犹 疑 不 定 ） 。 
    [kjv]  Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
    [bbe]  The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side. ...
