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.
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 Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
Elos finne pangon mu nga God lalos ac fahk mu elos mwet luk ac elos eteyu,
3 Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
a elos likinsai ma wo. Ke sripa inge mwet lokoalok lalos ac fah ukwalos.”
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.
“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 Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
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 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.
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 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.
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; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
Inge Israel el oapana mutunfacl saya uh. El oana sie tup fokelik ma wanginla sripa.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath 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 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.
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 For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
“Ke mwet Israel elos akpusye loang mwe sisla ma koluk lalos uh, acn in orekma koluk lalos uh puseni pac.
12 Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
Puslana mwe luti nga simusla nu sin mwet uh, tuh elos pilesru — oana ma sasu nu selos ac elos supah kac.
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.
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 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.
“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.”
