Hosea 8
1 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.
“To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
2 Elos finne pangon mu nga God lalos ac fahk mu elos mwet luk ac elos eteyu,
To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
3 a elos likinsai ma wo. Ke sripa inge mwet lokoalok lalos ac fah ukwalos.”
Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
4 “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.
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.
5 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?
Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
6 Mwet tufahlfal se lun Israel pa orala ma sruloala sac su tiana god se! Cow mukul gold ma alukinyuk in Samaria ac fah fokfoki.
For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
7 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.
For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
8 Inge Israel el oapana mutunfacl saya uh. El oana sie tup fokelik ma wanginla sripa.
Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
9 Mwet Israel elos likkeke oana donkey lemnak, forfor wel. Elos som in suk kasru sin Assyria, ac moli nu sin mutunfacl saya in loangelos.
For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
10 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.
Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
11 “Ke mwet Israel elos akpusye loang mwe sisla ma koluk lalos uh, acn in orekma koluk lalos uh puseni pac.
Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
12 Puslana mwe luti nga simusla nu sin mwet uh, tuh elos pilesru — oana ma sasu nu selos ac elos supah kac.
I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
13 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.
The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [to] Egypt.
14 “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.”
And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
