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。
[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned 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。
They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
3 以色列丟棄良善； 仇敵必追逼他。
For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
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 made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
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？
Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
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。
Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
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 sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
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 is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
9 他們投奔亞述，如同獨行的野驢； 以法蓮賄買朋黨。
For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
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。
Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
11 以法蓮增添祭壇取罪； 因此，祭壇使他犯罪。
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
12 我為他寫了律法萬條， 他卻以為與他毫無關涉。
I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
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。
For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
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。
And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
