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.
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 call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
Yo va rele a Mwen menm: ‘Bondye mwen an, nou menm—Israël—Nou konnen Ou.’
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.
Israël te rejte sa ki bon; lènmi an va kouri dèyè l.
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 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, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
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 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.
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 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.
Paske yo simen van, e yo rekòlte toubiyon.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.
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, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
Paske yo te monte Assyrie, kon yon bourik mawon pou kont li. Éphraïm te achte moun pou l ta renmen ak 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.
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 made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
Akoz Éphraïm te miltipliye lotèl pou fè peche yo, Yo te devni lotèl pou li pou peche yo.
12 I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
