Hosea 8
1 Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle swoops over the house of the Lord because they have broken my agreement and rebelled against my law.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ukya mwe ukuk in okasak acn uh! Mwet lokoalok pa tuhwi fin acn sik oana eagle uh! Mwet luk elos kunausla wulela nga tuh orala yorolos ac kisrung mwe luti luk.
2 Israel calls out to me, “Our God, we know you!”
Elos finne pangon mu nga God lalos ac fahk mu elos mwet luk ac elos eteyu,
3 But Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will chase after them.
a elos likinsai ma wo. Ke sripa inge mwet lokoalok lalos ac fah ukwalos.”
4 They appointed kings without my consent and chose princes without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
“Mwet luk sifacna akwalyeak tokosra lalos, tuh tia ma sik. Elos sulela mwet kol lalos, su nga tia akkeye. Elos srukak silver ac gold lalos sang orala ma sruloala, ma ac kunauselosla sifacna.
5 Samaria, I reject this calf idol you have made! My anger burns against them! How long will you be incapable of being good?
Nga srunga cow mukul gold ma mwet uh alu nu kac in siti Samaria. Nga kasrkusrak selos. Nga ac soano nwe ngac elos in sisla alyalu lalos nu ke ma sruloala?
6 This idol is from Israel! A craftsman made it—it's not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces!
Mwet tufahlfal se lun Israel pa orala ma sruloala sac su tiana god se! Cow mukul gold ma alukinyuk in Samaria ac fah fokfoki.
7 Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head of grain; it will produce no flour. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
Mwet elos taknelik eng uh, na elos kosrani paka! Sie ima in wheat ma tia fokla tia ku in orala flao. Tusruk finne oasr fahko, mwetsac uh pa ac kangla.
8 Israel is swallowed up; among the nations they are like something nobody wants.
Inge Israel el oapana mutunfacl saya uh. El oana sie tup fokelik ma wanginla sripa.
9 They have gone up to Assyria like a donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Mwet Israel elos likkeke oana donkey lemnak, forfor wel. Elos som in suk kasru sin Assyria, ac moli nu sin mutunfacl saya in loangelos.
10 Even though they have hired allies among the nations, I will gather them together. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
Elos ne pwapa ouinge yurin mutunfacl saya, a inge nga fah eisaloseni ac kalyaelos. Ac tia paht elos ac arulana keok ye poun tokosra fulat lun Assyria.
11 Though Ephraim built many altars to make sin offerings, they instead became altars of sin!
“Ke mwet Israel elos akpusye loang mwe sisla ma koluk lalos uh, acn in orekma koluk lalos uh puseni pac.
12 I wrote down for them the many aspects of my law, but they looked on them as foreign.
Puslana mwe luti nga simusla nu sin mwet uh, tuh elos pilesru — oana ma sasu nu selos ac elos supah kac.
13 They present me with their sacrifices, and they eat the meat, but I the Lord do not accept them. Now he will remember their wickedness, and punish them for their sins. They will return to Egypt.
Elos orek kisa nu sik, ac kang ikwa lun mwe kisa. Tuh nga, LEUM GOD, nga tia insewowo selos, ac inge nga fah esam ma koluk lalos ac kalyaelos kac. Nga fah folokunulosla nu Egypt.
14 Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces; Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will rain fire down on their cities and burn up their fortresses.
“Mwet Israel elos musaela inkul fulat sin tokosra, a elos tiana esam El Su Oralosla. Mwet Judah elos musaela siti pus ke pot ku. Tuh nga ac fah supwala e in esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra lalos ac siti selos.”
