何西阿書 8
1 你要把號角放你的口上，當作上主家的哨兵，因為百姓違背了我的盟約，，干犯了我的法律。
A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe.
2 他們呼喊我說：以色列的天主! 我們認識你。
Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee.
3 但以色列拋棄了善，所以敵人要迫害她。
Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym.
4 他們自立了君王，卻沒有我的同意；他們自立了首領，卻沒有叫知道；他們用金錢為自己製造了偶像，給自己招來滅亡。
Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische.
5 撒馬黎雅! 我必要除掉你的牛犢，我的怒火必要對牠燃起；以色列子民不能自新要到幾時呢﹖
A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid?
6 牛犢是工匠製造的，牠並不是天主；撒馬黎雅的牛犢必定被粉碎!
for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns.
7 他們既播種了風，收的也必是風；麥子不抽穗，做不成麵粉；既使做出麵粉來，也必被外邦人吃掉。
For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it.
8 以色列疲吞滅了，今後在列邦中必成為一個無用的廢物。
Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns,
9 他們去投奔亞述──一匹孤獨的野驢──同時又給埃及送愛情的禮物。
for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris;
10 縱然他們在列邦中行賄，我現在就要分散他們，使他們暫時停止給君王和領袖傅油。
but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes.
11 厄弗辣因建築了許多祭壇，但這些祭壇卻只有犯罪的用途。
For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas.
12 雖然我為他們寫了許多法律，卻被看作陌生人的廢話。
Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis.
13 讓他們奉獻燔祭，讓他們取吃祭肉；這一切上主都不喜歡；今後衪必記住他們的邪惡，必懲罰他們的罪孽；他們必要回到埃及去。
Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt.
14 以色列忘了自己的造主，建立了許多宮殿，猶大也增建了許多堅固的城池；但是，我必要把火投在你們的1城中，吞滅城中的宮室。
And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym.
