< Hosea 8 >

1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
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 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
Ou mèt tande yo di m': Ou se Bondye nou. Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, nou konnen ki moun ou ye!
3 Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
yo pa vle wè sa ki bon. Se poutèt sa lènmi gen pou leve dèyè yo.
4 They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
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 Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
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 it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
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 they haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
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 is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
Pèp Izrayèl la fini nèt. Nan je lòt nasyon yo, li tankou yon vye kannari kraze ki pa vo anyen.
9 For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
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 Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the 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 hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
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 haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
Atout m' ekri pou yo anpil regleman sou lalwa mwen ba yo a, yo pran regleman yo pou bagay ki pa pou yo.
13 They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne 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 For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
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.
