Oseas 8

1Ilagay mo ang pakakak sa iyong bibig. Gaya ng isang aguila dumarating siya laban sa bahay ng Panginoon, sapagka't kanilang sinuway ang aking tipan, at nagsisalangsang laban sa aking kautusan. 2Sila'y magsisidaing sa akin, Dios ko, kaming Israel ay nangakakakilala sa iyo. 3Itinakuwil ng Israel ang mabuti: hahabulin siya ng kaaway. 4Sila'y nangaglagay ng mga hari, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ko; sila'y nangaglagay ng mga prinsipe, at hindi ko nalaman: sa kanilang pilak at kanilang ginto ay nagsigawa sila ng diosdiosan, upang sila'y mangahiwalay. 5Kaniyang inihiwalay ang iyong guya, Oh Samaria; ang aking galit ay nagaalab laban sa kanila: hanggang kailan sila ay magiging mga musmos. 6Sapagka't mula sa Israel nanggaling ito; ito'y ginawa ng manggagawa, at ito'y hindi Dios; oo, ang guya ng Samaria ay magkakaputolputol. 7Sapagka't sila'y nangagsasabog ng hangin, at sila'y magsisiani ng ipoipo: siya'y walang nakatayong trigo; ang uhay ay hindi maglalaman ng harina; at kung maglaman, ay lalamunin ng mga taga ibang lupa. 8Ang Israel ay nalamon: ngayo'y nasa gitna siya ng mga bansa na parang sisidlang hindi kinalulugdan. 9Sapagka't sila'y nagsiahon sa Asiria, na parang isang mailap na asno na nagiisa: ang Ephraim ay umupa ng mga mangingibig. 10Oo, bagaman sila'y umuupa sa gitna ng mga bansa, akin nga silang pipisanin ngayon; at sila'y mangagtitigil na kaunting panahon ng pagpapahid ng langis sa hari at mga prinsipe. 11Sapagka't ang Ephraim, ay nagparami ng mga dambana upang magkasala, ang mga dambana ay naging sa kaniyang ipagkakasala. 12Sinulat ko para sa kaniya ang sangpung libong bagay ng aking kautusan; kanilang inaring parang katuwang bagay. 13Tungkol sa mga hain na mga handog sa akin, sila'y nangaghahain ng karne, at kinakain nila; nguni't ang mga yaon ay hindi tinatanggap ng Panginoon; ngayo'y aalalahanin niya ang kanilang kasamaan, at dadalawin ang kanilang mga kasalanan; sila'y mangababalik sa Egipto. 14Sapagka't nilimot ng Israel ang May-lalang sa kaniya, at nagtayo ng mga palacio; at nagparami ang Juda ng mga bayang nakukutaan; nguni't magsusugo ako ng apoy sa kaniyang mga bayan, at susupukin ang mga kuta niyaon.

1“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law. 2They cry to me, ‘My God, we Israel acknowledge you!’ 3Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him. 4They 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. 5Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity? 6For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7For 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. 8Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing. 9For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself. 10But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones. 11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning. 12I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing. 13As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt. 14For 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.”

1De bazuin aan uw mond; hij komt als een arend tegen het huis des HEEREN; omdat zij Mijn verbond hebben overtreden, en zijn tegen Mijn wet afvallig geworden. 2Dan zullen zij tot Mij roepen: Mijn God! wij, Israel, kennen U. 3Israel heeft het goede verstoten; de vijand zal hem vervolgen. 4Zij hebben koningen gemaakt, maar niet uit Mij; zij hebben vorsten gesteld, maar Ik heb het niet gekend; van hun zilver en hun goud hebben zij voor zichzelven afgoden gemaakt, opdat zij uitgeroeid worden. 5Uw kalf, o Samaria! heeft u verstoten; Mijn toorn is tegen hen ontstoken; hoe lang zullen zij de reinigheid niet verdragen? 6Want dat is ook uit Israel; een werkmeester heeft het gemaakt, en het is geen God, maar het zal tot stukken worden, het kalf van Samaria. 7Want zij hebben wind gezaaid, en zullen een wervelwind maaien; het zal geen staande koren hebben, het uitspruitsel zal geen meel maken; of het misschien maakte, vreemden zullen het verslinden. 8Israel is verslonden; nu zijn zij onder de heidenen geworden, gelijk een vat, waar men geen lust toe heeft. 9Want zij zijn opgetogen naar Assur, een woudezel, die alleen voor zichzelven is; die van Efraim hebben boelen om hoerenloon gehuurd. 10Dewijl zij dan onder de heidenen boelen om hoerenloon gehuurd hebben, zo zal Ik die nu ook verzamelen; ja, zij hebben al een weinig begonnen, vanwege den last van den koning der vorsten. 11Omdat Efraim de altaren vermenigvuldigd heeft tot zondigen, zo zijn hem de altaren geworden tot zondigen. 12Ik schrijf hem de voortreffelijkheden Mijner wet voor; maar die zijn geacht als wat vreemds. 13Aangaande de offeranden Mijner gaven, zij offeren vlees, en eten het, maar de HEERE heeft aan hen geen welgevallen. Nu zal Hij hunner ongerechtigheid gedenken, en hun zonden bezoeken; zij zullen weder in Egypte keren. 14Want Israel heeft zijn Maker vergeten, en tempelen gebouwd, en Juda heeft vaste steden vermenigvuldigd; maar Ik zal een vuur zenden in zijn steden, dat zal haar paleizen verteren.
