< Hosea 8 >
1 A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe.
你用口吹角吧! 敵人如鷹來攻打耶和華的家; 因為這民違背我的約, 干犯我的律法。
2 Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee.
他們必呼叫我說: 我的上帝啊,我們以色列認識你了。
3 Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym.
以色列丟棄良善; 仇敵必追逼他。
4 Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische.
他們立君王,卻不由我; 他們立首領,我卻不認。 他們用金銀為自己製造偶像, 以致被剪除。
5 A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid?
撒馬利亞啊,耶和華已經丟棄你的牛犢; 我的怒氣向拜牛犢的人發作。 他們到幾時方能無罪呢?
6 for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns.
這牛犢出於以色列, 是匠人所造的,並不是神。 撒馬利亞的牛犢必被打碎。
7 For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it.
他們所種的是風,所收的是暴風; 所種的不成禾稼,就是發苗也不結實; 即便結實,外邦人必吞吃。
8 Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns,
以色列被吞吃; 現今在列國中,好像人不喜悅的器皿。
9 for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris;
他們投奔亞述,如同獨行的野驢; 以法蓮賄買朋黨。
10 but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes.
他們雖在列邦中賄買人, 現在我卻要聚集懲罰他們; 他們因君王和首領所加的重擔日漸衰微。
11 For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas.
以法蓮增添祭壇取罪; 因此,祭壇使他犯罪。
12 Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis.
我為他寫了律法萬條, 他卻以為與他毫無關涉。
13 Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt.
至於獻給我的祭物, 他們自食其肉, 耶和華卻不悅納他們。 現在必記念他們的罪孽, 追討他們的罪惡; 他們必歸回埃及。
14 And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym.
以色列忘記造他的主,建造宮殿; 猶大多造堅固城, 我卻要降火焚燒他的城邑, 燒滅其中的宮殿。
