| 14:1 | 以色列阿、你要歸向耶和華你的 神.你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。 | O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. |
| 14:2 | 當歸向耶和華、用言語禱告他說、求你除淨罪孽、悅納善行、這樣、我們就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犢獻上。 | 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. |
| 14:3 | 我們不向亞述求救.不騎埃及的馬.也不再對我們手所造的說、你是我們的 神、因為孤兒在你耶和華那裏得蒙憐憫。 | 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. |
| 14:4 | 我必醫治他們背道的病、甘心愛他們、因為我的怒氣向他們轉消。 | I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. |
| 14:5 | 我必向以色列如甘露、他必如百合花開放、如利巴嫩的樹木扎根。 | I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. |
| 14:6 | 他的枝條必延長、他的榮華如橄欖樹、他的香氣如利巴嫩的香柏樹。 | His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. |
| 14:7 | 曾住在他蔭下的必歸回、發旺如五穀、開花如葡萄樹.他的香氣如利巴嫩的酒。 | 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. |
| 14:8 | 以法蓮必說、我與偶像還有甚麼關涉呢.我耶和華回答他、也必顧念他.我如青翠的松樹、你的果子從我而得。 | 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. |
| 14:9 | 誰是智慧人、可以明白這些事、誰是通達人、可以知道這一切.因為耶和華的道是正直的、義人必在其中行走、罪人卻在其上跌倒。 | 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. |
