Hosea 8
1 Let 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.
Kònen klewon an! Malè ap fonn sou peyi Bondye a tankou malfini, paske moun yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo vire kont sa mwen te moutre yo a.
2 They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
Ou mèt tande yo di m': Ou se Bondye nou. Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, nou konnen ki moun ou ye!
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.
yo pa vle wè sa ki bon. Se poutèt sa lènmi gen pou leve dèyè yo.
4 They 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.
Yo rete yo chwazi wa mete alatèt yo, san mande m' si mwen dakò. Yo mete moun chèf san m' pa janm konnen. Yo pran lò ak ajan yo genyen, yo fè zidòl. Se sa k'ap fini ak yo a.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
Mwen pa ka sipòte estati towo bèf moun Samari yo ap adore a. Se konsa mwen fè kòlè, mwen fache anpil sou yo. Kilè y'a sispann sèvi zidòl?
6 For 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.
Se yon atizan peyi Izrayèl ki te fè zidòl la. Zidòl sa a, se pa ka yon bondye li ye. Estati towo bèf moun Samari yo, m'ap kraze l' an miyèt moso.
7 For 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.
Depi pèp la simen van, se move tan pou yo rekòlte. Yo tankou yon jaden ble ki pa jete grap, ki p'ap bay farin. Menm si li bay farin, se moun lòt nasyon k'ap vin manje tout.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.
Pèp Izrayèl la fini nèt. Nan je lòt nasyon yo, li tankou yon vye kannari kraze ki pa vo anyen.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
Tankou yon bourik endont, moun Efrayim yo ap fè sa yo pito. Yo moute peyi Lasiri al mande konkou. Tankou fanm k'ap achte gason, yo bay lòt nasyon lajan pou pwoteje yo.
10 But 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.
Atout yo bay lòt nasyon yo kado, koulye a mwen pral mete yo tout nan menm sak pou m' pini yo. Talè konsa, yo pral nan lapenn lè wa Lasiri a va pran peze yo tout.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
Atout moun Efrayim yo bati lotèl toupatou pou wete peche, se menm lotèl sa yo ki fè yo tonbe pi rèd nan peche.
12 I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.
Atout m' ekri pou yo anpil regleman sou lalwa mwen ba yo a, yo pran regleman yo pou bagay ki pa pou yo.
13 They 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.
Yo renmen fè ofrann bèt. Yo touye bèt yo ofri yo epi yo manje vyann lan. Men, mwen menm, Seyè a, se pa sa ki fè m' plezi. Koulye a mwen chonje tout peche yo fè, m'ap pini yo pou sa. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi Lejip.
14 And 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.
Moun Izrayèl yo bliye moun ki te fè yo a. Y'ap bati gwo palè. Moun Jida yo menm ap bati gwo lavil ak miray ranpa pou pwoteje yo. Men mwen menm, m'ap voye dife nan lavil yo. Dife a ap boule tout palè yo ak tout gwo kay yo.
