Hosea 8
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
“Boru çalmaya hazırlan! Düşman kartal gibi dolaşıyor evimin üzerinde; Çünkü İsrail antlaşmaya uymadı, Yasama karşı çıktılar.
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
‘Ey Tanrımız, Biz İsrailliler seni tanıyoruz!’ Diye bana yakarıyorlar.
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
İyi olanı reddettiler, Düşman kovalayacak onları.
4 The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
Krallar atadılar bana sormadan, Önderler seçtiler benden habersiz. Altın ve gümüşleriyle yıkımlarına yol açan putlar yaptılar.
5 You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
Ey Samiriye, atın buzağı putunuzu, Öfkem alevleniyor size karşı! Hiç mi temiz olamayacaksınız?
6 [Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
Çünkü bu İsrail'in işidir. O buzağıyı bir usta yaptı, Tanrı değildir o. Samiriye'nin buzağı putu parçalanacak.
7 [The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
Çünkü rüzgar eken kasırga biçer. Baş vermeyen buğday un vermez. Verse bile yabancılar yutacak onu.
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
“Yutuldu İsrail, Şimdi uluslar arasında kimsenin beğenmediği bir kap gibi.
9 Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
Tek başına dolaşan yaban eşeği gibi Asur'a gittiler, Efrayim ücretli oynaşlar tuttu.
10 But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
Uluslar arasında oynaşlar tutsalar da, Şimdi onları bir araya toplayacağım. Çünkü azalmaya başladılar güçlü kralın baskısı altında.
11 Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
“Efrayim günah sunusu sunmak için çok sunak yaptı, Bunlar günah işlemelerine neden oldu.
12 I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
Yasamdaki pek çok şeyi onlar için yazdım, Ne var ki garipsediler bunları.
13 They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
Bana sundukları kurbanlara gelince, Kurban kesiyor, eti kendileri yiyorlar; Oysa RAB bunu yapanlardan hoşlanmaz. Şimdi anımsayacak suçlarını, Günahları için onları cezalandıracak; Geri dönecekler Mısır'a.
14 [The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
Çünkü İsrail Yaratıcısı'nı unuttu, Saraylar yaptı; Yahuda'ysa birçok kenti surlarla çevirdi, Ama ateş göndereceğim kentlerinin üstüne, Yiyip bitirsin kalelerini.”
