Hosea 8
1 Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have 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 shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
他们必呼叫我说： 我的 神啊，我们以色列认识你了。
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.
以色列丢弃良善； 仇敌必追逼他。
4 They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.
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 Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled 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 itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders’ webs.
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 shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall 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 is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations 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 are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts 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 though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the 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 hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
以法莲增添祭坛取罪； 因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
12 I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.
我为他写了律法万条， 他却以为与他毫无关涉。
13 They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return 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 hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
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。
