ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

4:1
ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου υἱοὶ Ισραηλ διότι κρίσις τῷ κυρίῳ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν διότι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια οὐδὲ ἔλεος οὐδὲ ἐπίγνωσις θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
Hear a word of the Lord, sons of Israel, for the Lord has a case against those who dwell on the land, because there is no truth nor mercy nor knowledge of God on the land.
以色列人哪,你們要聽主的話;因為主與這地的居民有爭訟,因為地上沒有真理,沒有憐憫,也沒有認識神的知識。
4:2
ἀρὰ καὶ ψεῦδος καὶ φόνος καὶ κλοπὴ καὶ μοιχεία κέχυται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ αἵματα ἐφ’ αἵμασιν μίσγουσιν
Cursing and lying and murder and theft and adultery are poured out over the land, and they mingle bloodshed upon bloodshed.
咒詛、謊言、兇殺、偷盜、姦淫都氾濫在地上,他們又使流血的事接連不斷。
4:3
διὰ τοῦτο πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ σμικρυνθήσεται σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν σὺν τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ σὺν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκλείψουσιν
Therefore the land shall mourn and shall be diminished, with all who dwell on it, with the wild animals of the field and with the creeping things of the earth and with the birds of heaven; and the fish of the sea shall fail.
因此,這地必悲哀,連同一切住在其上的都必衰微,還有田野的走獸、地上的爬物和天空的飛鳥;海中的魚也必消滅。
4:4
ὅπως μηδεὶς μήτε δικάζηται μήτε ἐλέγχῃ μηδείς ὁ δὲ λαός μου ὡς ἀντιλεγόμενος ἱερεύς
So that no one may go to law and no one may reprove; but my people are like a priest who is contradicted.
以致無人爭訟,也無人責備;我的百姓卻像被人頂撞的祭司。
4:5
καὶ ἀσθενήσεις ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ προφήτης μετὰ σοῦ νυκτὶ ὡμοίωσα τὴν μητέρα σου
And you shall be feeble by day, and the prophet also shall be feeble with you by night; I have made your mother to be like this.
你必在白晝軟弱跌倒,先知也必在夜間與你一同軟弱跌倒;我已使你的母親也成了這樣。
4:6
ὡμοιώθη ὁ λαός μου ὡς οὐκ ἔχων γνῶσιν ὅτι σὺ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀπώσω κἀγὼ ἀπώσομαι σὲ τοῦ μὴ ἱερατεύειν μοι καὶ ἐπελάθου νόμον θεοῦ σου κἀγὼ ἐπιλήσομαι τέκνων σου
My people have become like one who has no knowledge; because you rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from serving me as priest. And you forgot the law of your God; I also will forget your children.
我的百姓好像無知識的人;因你棄絕了知識,我也必棄絕你,使你不再作我的祭司。你既忘了你神的律法,我也必忘記你的兒女。
4:7
κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν οὕτως ἥμαρτόν μοι τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀτιμίαν θήσομαι
According to their multitude, so they sinned against me; I will turn their glory into dishonor.
他們越發增多,就越發得罪我;我必使他們的榮耀變為羞辱。
4:8
ἁμαρτίας λαοῦ μου φάγονται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν λήμψονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν
They feed on the sins of my people, and in their iniquities they will take their lives.
他們吃我百姓的罪,又在他們的罪孽中奪取他們的性命。
4:9
καὶ ἔσται καθὼς ὁ λαὸς οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ διαβούλια αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ
And it shall be: as the people, so also the priest; and I will punish him for his ways, and I will repay him for his devices.
將來百姓怎樣,祭司也必怎樣;我必因他所行的追討他,按他的計謀報應他。
4:10
καὶ φάγονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσιν ἐπόρνευσαν καὶ οὐ μὴ κατευθύνωσιν διότι τὸν κύριον ἐγκατέλιπον τοῦ φυλάξαι
And they shall eat and not be satisfied; they played the whore and shall not prosper, because they abandoned the Lord, so as not to keep watch.
他們吃,卻吃不飽;行了淫,卻不得亨通;因為他們離棄了主,不再謹守。
4:11
πορνείαν καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα ἐδέξατο καρδία λαοῦ μου
Whoredom and wine and strong drink the heart of my people has received.
我百姓的心接納了淫行、酒和烈酒。
4:12
ἐν συμβόλοις ἐπηρώτων καὶ ἐν ῥάβδοις αὐτοῦ ἀπήγγελλον αὐτῷ πνεύματι πορνείας ἐπλανήθησαν καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν
They inquired by tokens, and by his staffs they gave report to him; by a spirit of whoredom they were led astray and played the whore, departing from their God.
他們求問於兆頭,又靠他的杖向他宣告;他們被淫亂的靈迷惑,離開他們的神行了淫亂。
4:13
ἐπὶ τὰς κορυφὰς τῶν ὀρέων ἐθυσίαζον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνοὺς ἔθυον ὑποκάτω δρυὸς καὶ λεύκης καὶ δένδρου συσκιάζοντος ὅτι καλὸν σκέπη διὰ τοῦτο ἐκπορνεύσουσιν αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ νύμφαι ὑμῶν μοιχεύσουσιν
On the tops of the mountains they sacrificed, and on the hills they made offerings, under oak and poplar and shady tree, because the shade was good. Therefore your daughters shall play the whore and your brides shall commit adultery.
他們在山頂獻祭,在岡陵上燒祭,在橡樹、白楊樹和蔭密的樹下,因為樹蔭美好。所以你們的女兒必行淫,你們的兒婦必犯姦淫。
4:14
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψωμαι ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν ὅταν πορνεύωσιν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς νύμφας ὑμῶν ὅταν μοιχεύωσιν διότι καὶ αὐτοὶ μετὰ τῶν πορνῶν συνεφύροντο καὶ μετὰ τῶν τετελεσμένων ἔθυον καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ συνίων συνεπλέκετο μετὰ πόρνης
And I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for they themselves mingled with prostitutes and sacrificed with those who had been initiated; and the people that has understanding was entangled with a prostitute.
我必不追究你們的女兒行淫,也不追究你們的兒婦犯姦淫;因為他們自己也與妓女廝混,又與那些受過入教之禮的人一同獻祭;那有悟性的百姓竟與妓女糾纏。
4:15
σὺ δέ Ισραηλ μὴ ἀγνόει καὶ Ιουδα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ μὴ ἀναβαίνετε εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ων καὶ μὴ ὀμνύετε ζῶντα κύριον
But you, Israel, do not be ignorant; and Judah, do not enter into Galgala, and do not go up to the house of On, and do not swear by the living Lord.
以色列啊,你不要無知;猶大啊,你們不要進入吉甲,不要上安的家去,也不要指著永生的主起誓。
4:16
ὅτι ὡς δάμαλις παροιστρῶσα παροίστρησεν Ισραηλ νῦν νεμήσει αὐτοὺς κύριος ὡς ἀμνὸν ἐν εὐρυχώρῳ
For Israel has raged like a frenzied heifer; now the Lord will pasture them like a lamb in a broad place.
因為以色列狂躁,如同發狂的母牛犢;現在主必牧養他們,像牧養曠闊之地的羊羔。
4:17
μέτοχος εἰδώλων Εφραιμ ἔθηκεν ἑαυτῷ σκάνδαλα
Ephraim is a partner of idols; he has set stumbling blocks for himself.
以法蓮與偶像結連,為自己設下了絆腳石。
4:18
ᾑρέτισεν Χαναναίους πορνεύοντες ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἠγάπησαν ἀτιμίαν ἐκ φρυάγματος αὐτῶν
He chose Chananites; playing the whore they played the whore; they loved dishonor out of their arrogance.
他揀選了迦南人;他們大行淫亂,因自己的狂傲而喜愛羞辱。
4:19
συστροφὴ πνεύματος σὺ εἶ ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῆς καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐκ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτῶν
You are a whirling of wind in her wings; and they shall be put to shame because of their altars.
你是一陣旋風,在她的翅膀之中;他們必因自己的祭壇蒙羞。
