何11:2 可是我越发呼唤他们，他们越发走开；他们给巴力献祭，向偶像烧香。
何11:2 When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
何11:3 然而是我教导以法莲走路的；我用双臂抱他们，他们却不知道是我医治了他们。
何11:3 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.
何11:4 我用慈绳爱索牵引他们，我待他们像人拉高牛的轭在两颚之上，又向他们俯身，喂养他们。
何11:4 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.
何11:5 “他们必返回埃及地，亚述要作他们的王；因为他们不肯回来归我。

何11:6 刀剑必在他们的城中飞舞，毁坏他们的门闩，因着他们自己的计谋，吞灭他们。
何11:6 And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.
何11:7 我的子民决要背道离开我，他们因着所负的轭而呼求，却没有人给他们卸下。

何11:8 “以法莲啊，我怎能舍弃你！以色列啊，我怎能把你交出来！我怎能对你如同押玛，待你好像洗扁呢！我的心肠翻转，我的怜悯发动。
何11:8 How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, 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.
何11:9 我必不让我的烈怒发作，必不再毁灭以法莲；因为我是 神，不是世人；我是你们中间的圣者，必不会含怒而来。
何11:9 I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath; 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.
