Hosea 8
1 Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated 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 will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”
他们必呼叫我说： 我的 神啊，我们以色列认识你了。
3 Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
以色列丢弃良善； 仇敌必追逼他。
4 They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
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 Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
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 For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
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 will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat 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 has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean 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 Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴； 以法莲贿买朋党。
10 But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
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 For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
以法莲增添祭坛取罪； 因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
12 I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
我为他写了律法万条， 他却以为与他毫无关涉。
13 They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
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 his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
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。
