Come and let us return to Jehovah; / For He has torn us, but He will heal us, / And He has stricken us, but He will bind us up.
来吧，我们归向耶和华；祂撕裂我们，也必医治；祂打伤我们，也必缠裹。

He will enliven us after two days; / On the third day He will raise us up, / And we will live in His presence.
过两天祂必使我们活过来，第三天祂必使我们兴起，我们就在祂面前活着。

Therefore let us know, let us pursue knowing Jehovah: / His going forth is as sure as the dawn, / And He will come to us as the rain, / As the late rain which waters the earth.
我们务要认识耶和华，竭力追求认识祂；祂出现确定如晨光，祂必临到我们像甘雨，像滋润大地的春雨。

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? / What shall I do with you, O Judah? / For your lovingkindness is like a morning cloud / And like dew that departs early.
主说，以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？犹大啊，我可向你怎样作呢？因为你们的慈爱如同早晨的云雾，又如速散的甘露。

Therefore I hewed them to pieces by the prophets; / I slew them by the words of My mouth, / And My judgments went forth as light.
因此，我借申言者砍伐他们，以我口中的话杀戮他们，我的审判如光发出。

For I delight in lovingkindness and not sacrifice, / And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
我喜悦慈爱，不喜悦祭祀，喜悦认识神，胜于燔祭。

But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant; / There they have acted treacherously against Me.
他们却如亚当背约，在那里向我行事诡诈。

Gilead is a city of those who commit iniquity; / It is tracked with blood.
基列是行罪孽之人的城，被血沾染。

And like bands of robbers lying in wait for a man, / The company of priests murder on the way to Shechem; / Indeed they commit wickedness.
强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人；祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮行邪恶。

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrid thing: / The harlotry of Ephraim is there; / Israel has defiled itself.
在以色列家，我见了可怕的事：以法莲在那里有淫行；以色列玷污了自己。

Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, / When I will turn the captivity of My people.
犹大啊，我使被掳之民归回的时候，必有为你所命定的收成。
