Oseas 4
Bible Darby
1*Écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, fils d’Israël, car l’Éternel a un débat avec les habitants du pays ; car il n’y a pas de vérité, et il n’y a pas de bonté, et il n’y a pas de connaissance de Dieu dans le pays :
2exécration, et mensonge, et meurtre, et vol, et adultère ; la violence déborde, et le sang touche le sang.
3C’est pourquoi le pays sera dans le deuil ; et tous ceux qui y habitent seront languissants, avec les bêtes des champs, et avec les oiseaux des cieux ; et même les poissons de la mer seront ôtés.
4Toutefois que nul ne conteste, que nul ne reprenne ; or ton peuple est comme ceux qui contestent avec le sacrificateur.
5Et tu broncheras de jour, et le prophète aussi avec toi bronchera de nuit : et je détruirai ta mère.
6Mon peuple est détruit, faute de connaissance ; car toi, tu as rejeté la connaissance, et je te rejetterai afin que tu n’exerces plus la sacrificature devant moi. Car tu as oublié la loi de ton Dieu, et moi j’oublierai tes fils.
7Selon qu’ils se sont accrus, ainsi ils ont péché contre moi. Je changerai leur gloire en ignominie.
8Ils mangent le péché de mon peuple, et leur âme désire son iniquité.
9Et comme le peuple, ainsi sera le sacrificateur. Et je visiterai sur eux leurs voies, et je leur rendrai leurs actions ;
10et ils mangeront et ne seront pas rassasiés ; ils se prostitueront, mais ne s’étendront pas, car ils ont cessé de prendre garde à l’Éternel.
11La fornication, et le vin, et le moût, ôtent le sens.
12Mon peuple interroge son bois, et son bâton est son oracle, car l’esprit de fornication égare ; et il se prostitue, se soustrayant à son Dieu.
13Ils offrent des sacrifices sur les sommets des montagnes, et font fumer de l’encens sur les collines, sous le chêne et le peuplier et le térébinthe, parce que leur ombre est bonne. C’est pourquoi vos filles se prostituent et vos belles-filles commettent l’adultère.
14Je ne punirai pas vos filles pour s’être prostituées, ni vos belles-filles pour avoir commis l’adultère ; car ils se sont séparés eux-mêmes avec les prostituées, et sacrifient avec des femmes consacrées à la prostitution ; et le peuple qui n’a pas d’intelligence court à sa perte.
15Si tu te prostitues, ô Israël, que Juda ne se rende pas coupable ! N’allez pas à Guilgal, et ne montez pas à Beth-Aven, et ne jurez pas : L’Éternel est vivant !
16Car Israël est revêche comme une génisse rétive. Maintenant l’Éternel les paîtra comme un agneau dans un lieu spacieux.
17Éphraïm s’est attaché aux idoles : laisse-le faire.
18Leurs orgies se sont avilies ; ils se livrent à la fornication ; leurs chefs ont ardemment aimé l’ignominie.
19Le vent a enserré [Éphraïm] dans ses ailes, et ils sont honteux à cause de leurs sacrifices.
Reina-Valera 1909
1OID palabra de Jehová, hijos de Israel, porque Jehová pleitea con los moradores de la tierra; porque no hay verdad, ni misericordia, ni conocimiento de Dios en la tierra.
2Perjurar, y mentir, y matar, y hurtar y adulterar prevalecieron, y sangres se tocaron con sangres.
3Por lo cual, se enlutará la tierra, y extenuaráse todo morador de ella, con las bestias del campo, y las aves del cielo: y aun los peces de la mar fallecerán.
4Ciertamente hombre no contienda ni reprenda á hombre, porque tu pueblo es como los que resisten al sacerdote.
5Caerás por tanto en el día, y caerá también contigo el profeta de noche; y á tu madre talaré.
6Mi pueblo fué talado, porque le faltó sabiduría. Porque tú desechaste la sabiduría, yo te echaré del sacerdocio: y pues que olvidaste la ley de tu Dios, también yo me olvidaré de tus hijos.
7Conforme á su grandeza así pecaron contra mí: trocaré su honra en afrenta.
8Comen del pecado de mi pueblo, y en su maldad levantan su alma.
9Tal será el pueblo como el sacerdote: y visitaré sobre él sus caminos, y pagaréle conforme á sus obras.
10Y comerán, mas no se hartarán; fornicarán, mas no se aumentarán: porque dejaron de atender á Jehová.
11Fornicación, y vino, y mosto quitan el corazón.
12Mi pueblo á su madero pregunta, y su palo le responde: porque espíritu de fornicaciones lo engañó, y fornicaron debajo de sus dioses.
13Sobre las cabezas de los montes sacrificaron, é incensaron sobre los collados, debajo de encinas, y álamos, y olmos que tuviesen buena sombra: por tanto, vuestras hijas fornicarán, y adulterarán vuestras nueras.
14No visitaré sobre vuestras hijas cuando fornicaren, ni sobre vuestras nueras cuando adulteraren: porque ellos ofrecen con las rameras, y con las malas mujeres sacrifican: por tanto, el pueblo sin entendimiento caerá.
15Si fornicares tú, Israel, á lo menos no peque Judá: y no entréis en Gilgal, ni subáis á Beth-aven; ni juréis, Vive Jehová.
16Porque como becerra cerrera se apartó Israel: ¿apacentarálos ahora Jehová como á carneros en anchura?
17Ephraim es dado á ídolos; déjalo.
18Su bebida se corrompió; fornicaron pertinazmente: sus príncipes amaron las dádivas, afrenta de ellos.
19Atóla el viento en sus alas, y de sus sacrificios serán avergonzados.
King James Version
1Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
11Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
12My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
15Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
16For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
18Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
19The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
World English Bible
1Hear the LORD’s word, you children of Israel, for the LORD has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
3Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.
4“Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
5You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.
7As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
8They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
10They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to the LORD.
11Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
13They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
14I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
15“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As the LORD lives.’
16For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will the LORD feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
17Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!
18Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
19The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
