Hosea 8
1 to(wards) palate your trumpet like/as eagle upon house: temple LORD because to pass: trespass covenant my and upon instruction my to transgress
“Faka icilongo ezindebeni zakho! Ukhozi lungaphezu kwendlu kaThixo ngoba abantu basephule isivumelwano sami bahlamukela lomthetho wami.
2 to/for me to cry out God my to know you Israel
U-Israyeli uyakhalaza kimi esithi, ‘Oh Nkulunkulu wethu, siyakwamukela!’
3 to reject Israel good enemy to pursue him
Kodwa u-Israyeli ukwalile okuhle; isitha sizaxotshana laye.
4 they(masc.) to reign and not from me to reign and not to know silver: money their and gold their to make to/for them idol because to cut: eliminate
Babeka amakhosi kungekho mvumo yami; bakhetha ababusi kungekho mvumo yami. Ngesiliva sabo langegolide, bazenzela izithombe zibe yikubhujiswa kwabo.
5 to reject calf your Samaria to be incensed face: anger my in/on/with them till how not be able innocence
Lahla isithombe sakho sethole, wena Samariya! Ulaka lwami luyavutha ngawe. Koze kube nini bengelamandla okuhlambuluka na?
6 for from Israel and he/she/it artificer to make him and not God he/she/it for fragment to be calf Samaria
Bavela ko-Israyeli! Ithole leli labunjwa yingcwethi; kalisuye Nkulunkulu. Lizachobozwa libe yizicucu, ithole lelo laseSamariya.
7 for spirit: breath to sow and whirlwind [to] to reap standing grain nothing to/for him branch without to make: do flour perhaps to make: do be a stranger to swallow up him
Bahlanyela umoya bavune isavunguzane. Ihlanga kalilasikhwebu; kaliyikuthela ifulawa. Aluba belingathela amabele, abezizweni kade bezawamimiliza.
8 to swallow up Israel now to be in/on/with nation like/as article/utensil nothing pleasure in/on/with him
U-Israyeli useginyiwe; khathesi phakathi kwezizwe unjengento engelasizo.
9 for they(masc.) to ascend: rise Assyria wild donkey be alone to/for him Ephraim to hire (lover *L(abh)*)
Ngoba sebeye e-Asiriya njengobabhemi weganga entula yedwa. U-Efrayimi uzithengisile kuzithandwa.
10 also for to hire in/on/with nation now to gather them and to profane/begin: begin little from burden king ruler
Lanxa bezithengisile phakathi kwezizwe, ngizabaqoqela ndawonye. Bazaqalisa ukucikizeka bengaphansi kwencindezelo yenkosi elamandla.
11 for to multiply Ephraim altar to/for to sin to be to/for him altar to/for to sin
Lanxa u-Efrayimi wakha ama-alithare amanengi eminikelo yezono, asebe ngama-alithare okwenza izono.
12 (to write *Q(k)*) to/for to write (abundance *Q(K)*) instruction my like be a stranger to devise: count
Ngabalobela izinto ezinengi zomthetho wami kodwa bona bazithatha njengento engaziwayo.
13 sacrifice gift my to sacrifice flesh and to eat LORD not to accept them now to remember iniquity: crime their and to reckon: punish sin their they(masc.) Egypt to return: return
Banikela imihlatshelo njengezipho kimi babuye badle inyama yakhona, kodwa uThixo kathokozi ngabo. Khathesi usezakhumbula ukuxhwala kwabo abajezisele izono zabo: Bazabuyela eGibhithe.
14 and to forget Israel [obj] to make him and to build temple: palace and Judah to multiply city to gather/restrain/fortify and to send: depart fire in/on/with city his and to eat citadel: fortress her
U-Israyeli usemkhohliwe uMenzi wakhe wakha izindlu zamakhosi; uJuda usevikele amadolobho amanengi ngezinqaba. Kodwa ngizathumela umlilo emadolobheni abo ozaqothula izinqaba zabo.”
