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.
Тури тръбата на устата си! Той се впуща като орел против дома Господен, Защото нарушиха завета ми И престъпиха закона ми.
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
Ще викат към мене: Боже мой, ние Израил те познаваме.
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
Но понеже Израил отхвърли доброто, За това неприятелят ще го прогони.
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.
Те поставиха царе, но не чрез Мене; Назначиха началници, но без да ги призная Аз; От среброто си и от златото си направиха си идоли, Та да бъдат изтребени.
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?
Той е отхвърлил телето ти, Самарийо; Гневът ми пламна против тях; До кога не ще могат да се очистят?
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.
Защото телето наистина е от Израиля; Художник го е направил; то не е Бог; Да! Самарийско теле ще се разтроши.
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.
Понеже посеяха вятър, за това ще пожънат вихрушка; Няма узряло жито; израсналото няма да даде брашно; И ако даде, чужденци ще го погълнат.
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
Израил биде погълнат; Сега той е между народите като негоден съд.
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.
Защото възлязоха при Асирийците като див и осамотен осел; Ефрем е наел любовници.
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.
И даже ако наемат любовници между народите, Аз сега ще ги събера против тях; И те ще почнат да намаляват Поради товара наложен от царя на князете.
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.
Понеже Ефрем издигна много жертвеници, за да греши, То жертвениците му станаха причина за грях.
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.
Написах му десетте хиляди правила на закона си; Но те се счетоха като чуждо нещо.
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.
В жертвите, които ми принася, Жертват месо и го ядат; Но Господ не ги приема; Сега ще си спомни беззаконието им, И ще накаже греховете им; Те ще се върнат в Египет.
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.”
Защото Израил е забравил Твореца си, и е построил палати, И Юда е съградил множество укрепени градове; Но Аз ще пратя огън върху градовете му, Та ще пояде палатите им.
