Osee 8
1 [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.
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。
2 They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
他们必呼叫我说： 我的 神啊，我们以色列认识你了。
3 For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
以色列丢弃良善； 仇敌必追逼他。
4 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.
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。
5 Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
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？
6 Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
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。
7 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.
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。
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become amongst the nations as a worthless vessel.
以色列被吞吃； 现今在列国中，好像人不喜悦的器皿。
9 For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴； 以法莲贿买朋党。
10 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.
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。
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
以法莲增添祭坛取罪； 因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
12 I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
我为他写了律法万条， 他却以为与他毫无关涉。
13 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 amongst the Assyrians.
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。
14 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.
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。
