Oseas 8
1 “Puyotanyo ti trumpeta babaen kadagiti bibigyo. Umayen ti maysa nga agila iti balayko, a ni Yahweh. Mapaspasamak daytoy gapu ta sinalungasing dagiti tattao ti katulagak ken nagsukirda iti lintegko.
“Put the shofar to your lips! Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 Immasugda kaniak, 'O Diosko, dakami a taga-Israel ket am-ammodaka.'
They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
3 Ngem linaksid ti Israel ti naimbag, ket kamatento isuna dagiti kabusor.
Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
4 Nangisaadda kadagiti ari, ngem saan a babaen kaniak. Nangisaadda kadagiti prinsipe, ngem saanko nga ammo. Nagaramidda kadagiti didiosen para kadakuada babaen kadagiti pirak ken balitokda, ngem daytoy laeng ket pakadadaelanda.”
They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Kuna dagiti profeta, “Imbellengna ti sinan-bakayo, Samaria.” Kuna ni Yahweh, “Umap-apuy ti pungtotko kadagitoy a tattao. Kasano pay kabayag nga agtalinaedda a narugit?
Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
6 Ta naggapu iti Israel daytoy a didiosen; inaramid daytoy ti agkitkitikit; saan a Dios daytoy! Maburakto ti sinan-baka ti Samaria.
For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Gapu ta angin ti immula dagiti tattao ket alipugpug ti apitenda. Awan iti dawa ti sitatakder a trigo; saanto nga agipaay daytoy iti arina. No agbagasdanto man, kanento daytoy dagiti ganggannaet.
For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
8 Naalun-on ti Israel; ita addada kadagiti nasion a kasla maysa a banag nga awan iti serserbina.
Israel is swallowed up. Now they are amongst the nations like a worthless thing.
9 Ta simmang-atda iti Asiria a kasla atap nga asno nga agmaymaysa. Nangtangdan ti Efraim kadagiti agayat para kenkuana.
For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
10 Uray no nangtangdanda kadagiti agayat kadakuada kadagiti nasion, ummungek idan ita. Mangrugidanto a madadael gapu iti panangidadanes ti ari dagiti prinsipe.
But although they sold themselves amongst the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
11 Ta pinaadu ti Efraim dagiti altar a pagidatonan gapu iti basol, ngem nagbalinda ketdi nga altar a pagaramidan kadagiti basbasol.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
12 Maisuratko ti lintegko para kadakuada iti maminsangapulo a ribu a daras, ngem ibilangda daytoy a kas iti maysa a banag a karkarna kadakuada.
I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
13 No maipapan kadagiti pannakaidatag dagiti datonko, agidatonda iti karne ken kanenda daytoy, ngem Siak, a ni Yahweh saanko nga awaten dagitoy. Ita, lagipekto dagiti kinadakesda ket dusaekto dagiti basbasolda. Agsublidanto idiay Egipto.
As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
14 Nalipatannakon ti Israel, ti Nangparsua kenkuana ken nangipatakder kadagiti palasio. Sinarikedkedan ti Juda dagiti adu a siudad, ngem mangiyegakto iti apuy kadagiti siudadna; dadaelento daytoy dagiti sarikedkedna.
For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
