Hosea 8
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
Itaon sa imong baba ang trompeta. Maingon sa agila siya mosakdup batok sa balay ni Jehova, tungod kay sila nakalapas sa akong tugon, ug nakalapas batok sa akong Kasugoan.
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
Sila magatu-aw kanako: Dios ko, kami nga Israel nakaila kanimo.
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
Gisalibay sa Israel kadtong maayo: ang kaaway magagukod kaniya.
4 The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
Nagpatindog sila ug mga hari, apan dili pinaagi kanako; naghimo sila ug mga principe, ug kini wala ko hibaloi: gikan sa ilang salapi ug sa ilang bulawan naghimo sila ug mga dios-dios alang kanila, aron sila pagaputlon.
5 You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
Iyang gisalibay ang imong nating vaca, Oh Samaria; ang akong kasilag misilaub batok kanila: hangtud anus-a ba nga sila makadangat sa pagkaputli sa kinabuhi?
6 [Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
Kay gikan sa Israel mao man gani kini; ang mamumuhat maoy naghimo niini, ug kana dili man mao ang Dios; oo, ang nating vaca sa Samaria pagadugmokon.
7 [The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
Kay gipugas nila ang hangin, ug maani nila ang alimpulos: siya walay binhi nga magatindog; ang dahon dili magahatag ug pagkaon; kong mahimo nga kana mohatag, ang mga dumuloong maoy magalamoy niana.
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
Gilamoy na ang Israel: karon sila sama sa sudlanan sa taliwala sa mga nasud nga niana walay usa nga nahimuot.
9 Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
Kay sila nanungas sa Asiria, maingon sa ihalas nga asno nga nagainusara sa iyang kaugalingon: ang Ephraim nagasuhol ug mga hinigugma.
10 But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
Oo, bisan sila tuod nagasuhol sa taliwala sa mga nasud, karon sila pagatigumon ko; ug sila nagasugod sa pagkadiyutay tungod sa palas-anon sa hari sa mga principe.
11 Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
Tungod kay si Ephraim nagpadaghan sa mga halaran alang sa pagpakasala, ang mga halaran alang kaniya nangahimong alang sa pagpakasala.
12 I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
Alang kaniya akong gisulat ang napulo ka libo ka mga butang sa akong Kasugoan; apan sila giisip ingon sa butang nga wala hiilhi.
13 They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
Mahatungod sa mga halad sa akong mga paghalad, sila nanaghalad ug unod ug nagakaon niana; apan sila wala dawata ni Jehova: karon iyang hinumduman ang ilang kasal-anan, ug pagadu-awon ang ilang mga sala; sila mamalik ngadto sa Egipto.
14 [The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
Kay ang Israel nahikalimot sa iyang Magbubuhat, ug nagtukod mga palacio; ug ang Juda nagpadaghan sa mga ciudad nga kinutaan: apan ipadala ko ang kalayo nganha sa iyang mga ciudad, ug kini magalamoy sa mga harianong balay niana.
