< Hosea 8 >

1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
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 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
Elos finne pangon mu nga God lalos ac fahk mu elos mwet luk ac elos eteyu,
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
a elos likinsai ma wo. Ke sripa inge mwet lokoalok lalos ac fah ukwalos.”
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are 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 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
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 even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
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 wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do 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 hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Inge Israel el oapana mutunfacl saya uh. El oana sie tup fokelik ma wanginla sripa.
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have 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 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of 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 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
“Ke mwet Israel elos akpusye loang mwe sisla ma koluk lalos uh, acn in orekma koluk lalos uh puseni pac.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Puslana mwe luti nga simusla nu sin mwet uh, tuh elos pilesru — oana ma sasu nu selos ac elos supah kac.
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
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 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
“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.”
