何西阿書 8
1 你用口吹角吧！ 敵人如鷹來攻打耶和華的家； 因為這民違背我的約， 干犯我的律法。
Set the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 他們必呼叫我說： 我的上帝啊，我們以色列認識你了。
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know you.
3 以色列丟棄良善； 仇敵必追逼他。
Israel has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 他們立君王，卻不由我； 他們立首領，我卻不認。 他們用金銀為自己製造偶像， 以致被剪除。
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 撒馬利亞啊，耶和華已經丟棄你的牛犢； 我的怒氣向拜牛犢的人發作。 他們到幾時方能無罪呢？
Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocence?
6 這牛犢出於以色列， 是匠人所造的，並不是神。 撒馬利亞的牛犢必被打碎。
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 他們所種的是風，所收的是暴風； 所種的不成禾稼，就是發苗也不結實； 即便結實，外邦人必吞吃。
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 以色列被吞吃； 現今在列國中，好像人不喜悅的器皿。
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 他們投奔亞述，如同獨行的野驢； 以法蓮賄買朋黨。
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 他們雖在列邦中賄買人， 現在我卻要聚集懲罰他們； 他們因君王和首領所加的重擔日漸衰微。
Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 以法蓮增添祭壇取罪； 因此，祭壇使他犯罪。
Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 我為他寫了律法萬條， 他卻以為與他毫無關涉。
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 至於獻給我的祭物， 他們自食其肉， 耶和華卻不悅納他們。 現在必記念他們的罪孽， 追討他們的罪惡； 他們必歸回埃及。
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepts them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 以色列忘記造他的主，建造宮殿； 猶大多造堅固城， 我卻要降火焚燒他的城邑， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples; and Judah has multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
