< 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.
کرنا را به دهان خود بگذار. او مثل عقاب به ضد خانه خداوند می‌آید، زیرا که از عهدمن تجاوز نمودند و به شریعت من عصیان ورزیدند.۱
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
اسرائیل نزد من فریاد می‌نمایند که‌ای خدای ما تو را می‌شناسیم.۲
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
اسرائیل نیکویی راترک کرده است. پس دشمن او را تعاقب خواهدنمود.۳
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.
ایشان پادشاهان نصب نمودند، اما نه ازجانب من. سروران تعیین کردند، اما ایشان رانشناختم. از نقره و طلای خویش بتها برای خودساختند تا منقطع بشوند.۴
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?
‌ای سامره او گوساله تورا رد نموده است. خشم من بر ایشان افروخته شد. تا به کی نمی توانند طاهر بشوند؟۵
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.
زیرا که این نیزاز اسرائیل است و صنعتگر آن را ساخته است، لهذا خدا نیست. البته گوساله سامره خرد خواهدشد.۶
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.
به درستی که باد را کاشتند، پس گردباد راخواهند دروید. آن را محصول نیست وخوشه هایش آرد نخواهد داد و اگر هم بدهد، غریبان آن را خواهند بلعید.۷
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
اسرائیل بلعیده خواهد شد و الان در میان امت‌ها مثل ظرف ناپسندیده می‌باشند.۸
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.
زیرا که ایشان مثل گورخرتنها و منفرد به آشور رفته‌اند و افرایم عاشقان اجیر کرده است.۹
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.
اگر‌چه ایشان در میان امت هااجرت می‌دهند، من الان ایشان را جمع خواهم کرد و به‌سبب ستم پادشاه و سروران رو به تناقض خواهند نهاد.۱۰
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.
چونکه افرایم مذبح های بسیار برای گناه ساخت پس مذبح‌ها برایش باعث گناه شد.۱۱
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.
احکام بسیار شریعت خود را برای او نوشتم اما آنها را مثل چیز غریب شمردند.۱۲
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.
قربانی های سوختنی مرا ذبح کردند تا گوشت بخورند وخداوند آنها را قبول نکرد. الان عصیان ایشان را به یاد می‌آورد و عقوبت گناه را بر ایشان می‌رساند وایشان به مصر خواهند برگشت.۱۳
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.”
اسرائیل خالق خود را فراموش کرده، قصرها بنا می‌کند و یهوداشهرهای حصاردار بسیار می‌سازد. اما من آتش به شهرهایش خواهم فرستاد که قصرهایش رابسوزاند.۱۴
