欧瑟亚 8

1Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law.

2They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.

3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.

4They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.

5Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?

6For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders’ webs.

7For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.

8Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.

9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.

10But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.

11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.

12I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.

13They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

14And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.

1[In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini, pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.

2Me invocabunt: Deus meus, cognovimus te Israël.

3Projecit Israël bonum: inimicus persequetur eum.

4Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me; principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.

5Projectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria; iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?

6Quia ex Israël et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est deus; quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.

7Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo; germen non faciet farinam: quod etsi fecerit, alieni comedent eam.

8Devoratus est Israël; nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.

9Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi; Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.

10Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos, et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum.

11Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum; factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.

12Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.

13Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.

14Et oblitus est Israël factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra; et Judas multiplicavit urbes munitas; et mittam ignem in civitates ejus, et devorabit ædes illius.]

1Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.

2They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”

3Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.

4They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.

5Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?

6For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.

7For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.

8Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.

9For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.

10But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.

11For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.

12I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.

13They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.

14And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
