Oséias 8
1 Põe a trombeta á tua bocca; elle vem como a aguia contra a casa do Senhor, porque traspassaram o meu concerto, e se rebellaram contra a minha lei.
[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
2 Então a mim clamarão: Deus meu! nós, Israel, te conhecemos.
They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
3 Israel rejeitou o bem: o inimigo perseguil-o-ha.
For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
4 Elles fizeram reis, porém não de mim: constituiram principes, porém eu não o soube: da sua prata e do seu oiro fizeram idolos para si, para serem destruidos.
They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
5 O teu bezerro, ó Samaria, te rejeitou: a minha ira se accendeu contra elles; até quando serão elles incapazes da innocencia?
Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
6 Porque tambem isso é de Israel, um artifice o fez, e não é Deus, mas em pedaços será desfeito o bezerro de Samaria.
Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
7 Porque vento semearam, e segarão tormenta: seara não haverá, a herva não dará farinha: se a der, tragal-a-hão os estrangeiros.
for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
8 Israel foi tragado: agora entre as nações será tido como um vaso em que ninguem tem prazer.
Israel is swallowed up: now is he become amongst the nations as a worthless vessel.
9 Porque subiram á Assyria, como um jumento montez, por si só: mercou Ephraim amores.
For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
10 Ainda que elles merquem entre as nações, agora as congregarei: já começaram a ser diminuidos por causa da carga do rei dos principes.
Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
11 Porquanto Ephraim multiplicou os altares para peccar; teve altar para peccar.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
12 Escrevi-lhe as grandezas da minha lei, porém essas são estimadas como coisa estranha.
I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
13 Quanto aos sacrificios dos meus dons, sacrificam carne, e a comem, mas o Senhor não se deleitou n'elles: agora se lembrará da sua injustiça, e visitará os seus peccados: elles voltarão para o Egypto.
For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things amongst the Assyrians.
14 Porque Israel se esqueceu do seu Creador, e edificou templos, e Judah multiplicou cidades fortes; mas eu enviarei um fogo contra as suas cidades, que consumirá os seus palacios.
And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
