Hosea 9
1 [You people of] Israel, do not shout joyfully [during your festivals] like [people of other] nations do! [I say that] because you have (not been faithful to/abandoned) me, your God. At every place where the people thresh grain you have [presented gifts to your idols like men] pay money to prostitutes.
Não te alegres, ó Israel, até saltar, como os povos; porque pela fornicação abandonaste o teu Deus: amaste a paga de meretriz sobre todas as eiras de trigo.
2 [But soon] there will not be enough grain [MTY, PRS] and wine [MTY, PRS] for you.
A eira e o lagar não os manterão; e o mosto lhe faltará.
3 And you people will not remain in the land that I, Yahweh, [gave to your ancestors]. You will be [captured and] taken to [Assyria], [where you will become slaves like your ancestors were] in Egypt; and in Assyria you will be forced to eat food that Yahweh has forbidden you to eat.
Na terra do Senhor não permanecerão; mas Ephraim tornará ao Egito, e na Assyria comerão o imundo.
4 You Israelis will not [be able to] give wine offerings to him, or bring sacrifices to him. None of your other sacrifices will please him; they will be unacceptable to him, like [SIM] food that is touched by people at funerals, and everyone who eats that food will become unacceptable to him. They will be permitted to eat that food themselves, but they will not [be permitted to] bring it into the temple.
Não derramarão vinho ao Senhor, nem lhe serão suaves: os seus sacrifícios lhes serão como pão de pranto; todos os que dele comerem serão imundos, porque o seu pão é por sua alma; não entrará na casa do Senhor
5 At that time you will not [RHQ] be able to celebrate the feasts and sacred festivals.
Que fareis vós no dia da solenidade, e no dia da festa do Senhor?
6 And even if you escape and are not killed [by the Assyrians], you will be captured by [the army of] Egypt, and you will [die and] be buried in Memphis, [the capital of Egypt]. Briers will [grow up and] cover your treasures of silver, and thorns will grow in your [ruined] tents/houses.
Porque, eis que eles se foram por causa da destruição: o Egito os recolherá, Memphis os sepultará: o desejável da sua prata as ortigas o possuirão por herança, espinhos haverá nas suas moradas.
7 It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you, to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed. You people will [soon] know that. You have [committed] very many sins, and you very much hate Yahweh. You consider that the prophets are foolish, and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.
Já chegaram os dias da visitação, já chegaram os dias da retribuição; os de Israel o saberão: o profeta é louco, o homem de espírito é furioso; por causa da abundância da tua iniquidade também abundará o ódio.
8 My God appointed [me and the other] prophets to be [like] [MET] watchmen [to warn] you people of Israel, but everywhere that we go, [it is as though] people set traps for us and people are hostile [to us, even] in the temple of our God.
Ephraim era o vigia com o meu Deus, mas o profeta é como um laço de caçador de aves em todos os seus caminhos, ódio na casa do seu Deus.
9 The sins that the Israeli people have committed are as awful as [what the men of] Gibeah did long ago; [so] God will not forget the wicked things that they have done; he will punish the Israelis for [all] those sins.
Mui profundamente se corromperam, como nos dias de Gibeah: lembrar-se-á das suas injustiças, visitará os pecados deles.
10 [Yahweh says], “When I first started [to do things to help] Israel, it seemed to me as though [SIM] I had found grapes in the desert. Your ancestors were [delightful], like [SIM] the first figs that grow on fig trees [each year]. But when they came to Peor [Mountain], they worshiped that disgusting idol Baal, and they became as disgusting as the idol that they loved.
Achei a Israel como uvas no deserto, vi a vossos pais como a fruta temporã da figueira no seu princípio; porém entraram a Baalpeor, e se apartaram para essa vergonha, e se tornaram abomináveis como aquilo que amaram.
11 The things that cause Israel to be great will disappear like [SIM] a bird that flies away; [most of their women will] not become pregnant [DOU] or give birth to children.
Quanto a Ephraim, a sua glória como ave voará desde o nascimento, e desde o ventre, e desde o concebimento.
12 Even if their children are born and start to grow up, I will cause all of them to die [while they are still young]. Terrible things will happen to them when I abandon them!
Ainda que venham a criar seus filhos, contudo os privarei deles dentre os homens, porque também, ai deles! quando me apartar deles.
13 I have seen Israel become beautiful and prosperous like Tyre [city] was [before it was destroyed], but now the people of Israel will [be forced to] take their children to be slaughtered [by their enemies].”
Ephraim, assim como vi a Tiro, plantada está num lugar deleitoso; mas Ephraim tirará para fora seus filhos para o matador.
14 Yahweh, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should ask for my people. So I ask that you do this one thing: Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages and unable [to nurse their babies].
Dá-lhes, ó Senhor; que pois lhes darás? dá-lhes uma madre que aborte e seios secos.
15 [Yahweh says], “Because of all the wicked things that my people did at Gilgal, that is where I started to hate them. [And now], because of [all] the sinful things that they have done, I will expel them from my country. I will not love them any longer; all their leaders rebel [against me].
Toda a sua malícia se acha em Gilgal, porque ali os aborreci pela malícia das suas obras: lança-los-ei para fora de minha casa; não os amarei mais: todos os seus príncipes são rebeldes.
16 Israel is like [MET] a grapevine that is dried up; [like a vine] [MET] whose roots are withered and that produces no fruit. Even if the [women of Israel] give birth to [more] children, I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.
Ephraim foi ferido, secou-se a sua raiz; não darão fruto: e, ainda que gerem, todavia matarei os desejáveis do seu ventre.
17 The people of Israel have not obeyed me, their God, so I will reject them. [As a result], they will wander among the [other] nations, [searching for a place to live].”
O meu Deus os rejeitará, porque não o ouvem, e vagabundos andarão entre as nações.
