Hosea 8
1 “To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
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 To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
Ou mèt tande yo di m': Ou se Bondye nou. Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, nou konnen ki moun ou ye!
3 Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
yo pa vle wè sa ki bon. Se poutèt sa lènmi gen pou leve dèyè yo.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
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 Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
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 even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
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 wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
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 has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Pèp Izrayèl la fini nèt. Nan je lòt nasyon yo, li tankou yon vye kannari kraze ki pa vo anyen.
9 For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired 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 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of 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 multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to 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 write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Atout m' ekri pou yo anpil regleman sou lalwa mwen ba yo a, yo pran regleman yo pou bagay ki pa pou yo.
13 The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They 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 forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
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.
