Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled 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 unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.
Yo va rele a Mwen menm: ‘Bondye mwen an, nou menm—Israël—Nou konnen Ou.’
3 Israel hath cast off 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 princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, 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 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?
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 from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no God: for 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 have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
Paske yo simen van, e yo rekòlte toubiyon.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Israël vin vale nèt. Koulye a, se pami nasyon yo ye; tankou yon veso ki pa bay plezi a okenn moun.
9 For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath 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 Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.
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 hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
Akoz Éphraïm te miltipliye lotèl pou fè peche yo, Yo te devni lotèl pou li pou peche yo.
12 I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: 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 They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he 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 hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces 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.
