Hosea 8

1 To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.

你要把號角放你的口上，當作上主家的哨兵，因為百姓違背了我的盟約，，干犯了我的法律。

2 To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.

他們呼喊我說：以色列的天主! 我們認識你。

3 It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.

但以色列拋棄了善，所以敵人要迫害她。

4 They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.

他們自立了君王，卻沒有我的同意；他們自立了首領，卻沒有叫知道；他們用金錢為自己製造了偶像，給自己招來滅亡。

5 He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.

撒馬黎雅! 我必要除掉你的牛犢，我的怒火必要對牠燃起；以色列子民不能自新要到幾時呢﹖

6 For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.

牛犢是工匠製造的，牠並不是天主；撒馬黎雅的牛犢必定被粉碎!

7 For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.

他們既播種了風，收的也必是風；麥子不抽穗，做不成麵粉；既使做出麵粉來，也必被外邦人吃掉。

8 It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.

以色列疲吞滅了，今後在列邦中必成為一個無用的廢物。

9 For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)

他們去投奔亞述──一匹孤獨的野驢──同時又給埃及送愛情的禮物。

10 also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.

縱然他們在列邦中行賄，我現在就要分散他們，使他們暫時停止給君王和領袖傅油。

11 For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.

厄弗辣因建築了許多祭壇，但這些祭壇卻只有犯罪的用途。

12 (I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.

雖然我為他們寫了許多法律，卻被看作陌生人的廢話。

13 [the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.

讓他們奉獻燔祭，讓他們取吃祭肉；這一切上主都不喜歡；今後衪必記住他們的邪惡，必懲罰他們的罪孽；他們必要回到埃及去。

14 And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.

以色列忘了自己的造主，建立了許多宮殿，猶大也增建了許多堅固的城池；但是，我必要把火投在你們的1城中，吞滅城中的宮室。
