Hosea 8
1 Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of the LORD; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed 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 Will they cry unto Me: '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 that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
以色列丢弃良善； 仇敌必追逼他。
4 They have set up kings, but not from Me, they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
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; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
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 from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
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 sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
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 are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
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, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴； 以法莲贿买朋党。
10 Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of 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 For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
以法莲增添祭坛取罪； 因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
12 Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
我为他写了律法万条， 他却以为与他毫无关涉。
13 As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish 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 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles 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。
