Hosea 8
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
Ilagay mo ang pakakak sa iyong bibig. Gaya ng isang aguila dumarating siya laban sa bahay ng Panginoon, sapagka't kanilang sinuway ang aking tipan, at nagsisalangsang laban sa aking kautusan.
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
Sila'y magsisidaing sa akin, Dios ko, kaming Israel ay nangakakakilala sa iyo.
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
Itinakuwil ng Israel ang mabuti: hahabulin siya ng kaaway.
4 The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
Sila'y nangaglagay ng mga hari, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ko; sila'y nangaglagay ng mga prinsipe, at hindi ko nalaman: sa kanilang pilak at kanilang ginto ay nagsigawa sila ng diosdiosan, upang sila'y mangahiwalay.
5 You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
Kaniyang inihiwalay ang iyong guya, Oh Samaria; ang aking galit ay nagaalab laban sa kanila: hanggang kailan sila ay magiging mga musmos.
6 [Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
Sapagka't mula sa Israel nanggaling ito; ito'y ginawa ng manggagawa, at ito'y hindi Dios; oo, ang guya ng Samaria ay magkakaputolputol.
7 [The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
Sapagka't sila'y nangagsasabog ng hangin, at sila'y magsisiani ng ipoipo: siya'y walang nakatayong trigo; ang uhay ay hindi maglalaman ng harina; at kung maglaman, ay lalamunin ng mga taga ibang lupa.
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
Ang Israel ay nalamon: ngayo'y nasa gitna siya ng mga bansa na parang sisidlang hindi kinalulugdan.
9 Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
Sapagka't sila'y nagsiahon sa Asiria, na parang isang mailap na asno na nagiisa: ang Ephraim ay umupa ng mga mangingibig.
10 But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
Oo, bagaman sila'y umuupa sa gitna ng mga bansa, akin nga silang pipisanin ngayon; at sila'y mangagtitigil na kaunting panahon ng pagpapahid ng langis sa hari at mga prinsipe.
11 Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
Sapagka't ang Ephraim, ay nagparami ng mga dambana upang magkasala, ang mga dambana ay naging sa kaniyang ipagkakasala.
12 I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
Sinulat ko para sa kaniya ang sangpung libong bagay ng aking kautusan; kanilang inaring parang katuwang bagay.
13 They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
Tungkol sa mga hain na mga handog sa akin, sila'y nangaghahain ng karne, at kinakain nila; nguni't ang mga yaon ay hindi tinatanggap ng Panginoon; ngayo'y aalalahanin niya ang kanilang kasamaan, at dadalawin ang kanilang mga kasalanan; sila'y mangababalik sa Egipto.
14 [The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
Sapagka't nilimot ng Israel ang May-lalang sa kaniya, at nagtayo ng mga palacio; at nagparami ang Juda ng mga bayang nakukutaan; nguni't magsusugo ako ng apoy sa kaniyang mga bayan, at susupukin ang mga kuta niyaon.
