Hosea 8
1 “Wekeni tarumbeta midomoni mwenu! Tai yuko juu ya nyumba ya Bwana kwa sababu watu wamevunja Agano langu, wameasi dhidi ya sheria yangu.
To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.
2 Israeli ananililia, ‘Ee Mungu wetu, tunakukubali!’
To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
3 Lakini Israeli amekataa lile lililo jema, adui atamfuatia.
It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
4 Wanaweka wafalme bila idhini yangu, wamechagua wakuu bila kibali changu. Kwa fedha zao na dhahabu wamejitengenezea sanamu kwa ajili ya maangamizi yao wenyewe.
They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.
5 Ee Samaria, tupilieni mbali sanamu yenu ya ndama! Hasira yangu inawaka dhidi yao. Watakuwa najisi mpaka lini?
He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.
6 Zimetoka katika Israeli! Ndama huyu: ametengenezwa na fundi, si Mungu. Atavunjwa vipande vipande, yule ndama wa Samaria.
For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.
7 “Wanapanda upepo na kuvuna upepo wa kisulisuli. Bua halina suke, halitatoa unga. Kama lingetoa nafaka, wageni wangeila yote.
For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.
8 Israeli amemezwa; sasa yupo miongoni mwa mataifa kama kitu kisicho na thamani.
It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.
9 Kwa kuwa wamepanda kwenda Ashuru kama punda-mwitu anayetangatanga peke yake. Efraimu amejiuza mwenyewe kwa wapenzi.
For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)
10 Ingawa wamejiuza wenyewe miongoni mwa mataifa, sasa nitawakusanya pamoja. Wataanza kudhoofika chini ya uonevu wa mfalme mwenye nguvu.
also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.
11 “Ingawa Efraimu alijenga madhabahu nyingi kwa ajili ya sadaka za dhambi, hizi zimekuwa madhabahu za kufanyia dhambi.
For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 Nimeandika kwa ajili yao mambo mengi kuhusu sheria yangu, lakini wameziangalia kama kitu cha kigeni.
(I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.
13 Wanatoa dhabihu nilizopewa mimi nao wanakula hiyo nyama, lakini Bwana hapendezwi nao. Sasa ataukumbuka uovu wao na kuadhibu dhambi zao: Watarudi Misri.
[the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.
14 Israeli amemsahau Muumba wake na kujenga majumba ya kifalme, Yuda amejengea miji mingi ngome. Lakini nitatuma moto kwenye miji yao utakaoteketeza ngome zao.”
And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.
