Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Mete twonpèt la sou lèv ou yo! Yon bagay tankou malfini vini kont lakay SENYÈ a; akoz yo te transgrese akò Mwen an, e fè rebèl kont lalwa Mwen an.
2 They shall cry to me, My God, we, Israel know thee.
Yo va rele a Mwen menm: ‘Bondye mwen an, nou menm—Israël—Nou konnen Ou.’
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy shall pursue him.
Israël te rejte sa ki bon; lènmi an va kouri dèyè l.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols of their silver and their gold, that they may be cut off.
Yo vin plase wa yo, men pa selon Mwen menm. Yo te chwazi prens yo, men pa selon Mwen menm. Ak ajan ak lò pa yo, yo te fè zidòl pou kont yo, jis pou yo ta ka koupe retire nèt.
5 He has cast off thy calf, O Samaria. My anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocence?
Kite Samarie jete jenn bèf li deyò! Kòlè Mwen ap brile kont yo! Pou konbyen de tan yo va rete san kapasite pou pirifye?
6 For even this is from Israel: the workman made it, and it is no God. Yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Paske, sa sòti menm an Israël! Se yon ouvriye ki fè l. Li pa Bondye. Anverite, jenn bèf Samarie a va kraze an mòso.
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The blade shall yield no meal. If so be it yields, strangers shall swallow it up.
Paske yo simen van, e yo rekòlte toubiyon.
8 Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which no man delights.
Israël vin vale nèt. Koulye a, se pami nasyon yo ye; tankou yon veso ki pa bay plezi a okenn moun.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Paske yo te monte Assyrie, kon yon bourik mawon pou kont li. Éphraïm te achte moun pou l ta renmen ak yo.
10 Yea, though they hire among the nations, I will now gather them, and they shall begin to be diminished because of the burden of the king of rulers.
Malgre yo vann tèt yo pami nasyon yo, se koulye a, Mwen va ranmase yo. Yo kòmanse vin febli akoz presyon a wa de sa yo ak pwisans.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.
Akoz Éphraïm te miltipliye lotèl pou fè peche yo, Yo te devni lotèl pou li pou peche yo.
12 I wrote for him the multitude of my law, but they are counted as a strange thing.
Malgre sa Mwen te ekri pou li règleman san fen de Lalwa Mwen yo, men yo gade yo tankou yon bagay ki dwòl.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. They shall return to Egypt.
Pou sakrifis ofrann Mwen yo, yo fè sakrifis vyann, e yo manje l. SENYÈ a pa pran okenn plezi nan yo. Konsa, Li va sonje inikite yo, e pini peche yo. Yo va retounen an Egypte.
14 For Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
Paske Israël te bliye Kreyatè li. Li te bati palè yo. Konsa, Juda te miltipliye vil fòtifye yo; men Mwen va voye dife sou vil li yo, e konsa, li va devore gwo palè li yo.
