Hosea 8
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of the LORD; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law.
1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。
2Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
2他們必呼叫我說： 我的上帝啊，我們 以色列 認識你了。
3Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
3以色列 丟棄良善； 仇敵必追逼他。
4They have set up kings, but not from Me, they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
4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。
5Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
5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？
6For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
6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。
7For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
7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。
8Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
8以色列 被吞吃； 現今在列國中，好像人不喜悅的器皿。
9For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
9他們投奔 亞述 ，如同獨行的野驢； 以法蓮 賄買朋黨。
10Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.
10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。
11For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
11以法蓮 增添祭壇取罪； 因此，祭壇使他犯罪。
12Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
12我為他寫了律法萬條， 他卻以為與他毫無關涉。
13As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
13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 。
14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
14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。
