何西阿书 8
1 你用口吹角吧！ 敌人如鹰来攻打耶和华的家； 因为这民违背我的约， 干犯我的律法。
“To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
2 他们必呼叫我说： 我的 神啊，我们以色列认识你了。
To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
3 以色列丢弃良善； 仇敌必追逼他。
Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
4 他们立君王，却不由我； 他们立首领，我却不认。 他们用金银为自己制造偶像， 以致被剪除。
They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
5 撒马利亚啊，耶和华已经丢弃你的牛犊； 我的怒气向拜牛犊的人发作。 他们到几时方能无罪呢？
Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
6 这牛犊出于以色列， 是匠人所造的，并不是神。 撒马利亚的牛犊必被打碎。
For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
7 他们所种的是风，所收的是暴风； 所种的不成禾稼，就是发苗也不结实； 即便结实，外邦人必吞吃。
For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
8 以色列被吞吃； 现今在列国中，好像人不喜悦的器皿。
Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
9 他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴； 以法莲贿买朋党。
For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
10 他们虽在列邦中贿买人， 现在我却要聚集惩罚他们； 他们因君王和首领所加的重担日渐衰微。
Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
11 以法莲增添祭坛取罪； 因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
12 我为他写了律法万条， 他却以为与他毫无关涉。
I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
13 至于献给我的祭物， 他们自食其肉， 耶和华却不悦纳他们。 现在必记念他们的罪孽， 追讨他们的罪恶； 他们必归回埃及。
The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [to] Egypt.
14 以色列忘记造他的主，建造宫殿； 犹大多造坚固城， 我却要降火焚烧他的城邑， 烧灭其中的宫殿。
And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
