Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
Lè Israël te yon timoun, Mwen te renmen l; epi soti nan Égypte, Mwen te rele fis mwen an.
2 But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
Plis pwofèt yo te rele yo, plis yo te kouri kite yo. Yo te kontinye fè sakrifis bay Baal yo, e brile lansan bay zidòl yo.
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
Malgre sa, se te Mwen ki te montre Éphraïm jan pou l mache. Nan bra M, Mwen te pran yo; men yo pa t konnen ke Mwen te geri yo.
4 I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
Mwen te mennen yo ak kòd a yon nonm, ak lyann lanmou. Konsa, Mwen te vini pou yo kon sila ki retire jouk la sòti nan kou yo. Mwen te bese mete manje devan yo.
5 Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
Yo p ap retounen nan peyi Égypte, men Wa Assyrie a va vin wa yo, akoz yo te refize retounen kote Mwen.
6 A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
Nepe va tonbe kont vil yo, pou kraze pòtay ak fè fòje yo, e li va fè tout plan yo disparèt.
7 My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
Pèp Mwen an fè desizyon nèt pou vire kite Mwen. Malgre yo rele yo vè Sila ki Pi Wo a, anverite, yo p ap egzalte.
8 How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
Kòman Mwen ta kapab lage ou, O Éphraïm? Kòman Mwen ta kapab kite ou ale, O Israël? Kòman Mwen ta kapab fè ou tankou Adma? Kòman Mwen ta kapab aji avèk ou tankou Tseboïm? Kè M vire nèt anndan M; konpasyon Mwen vin anflame.
9 I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.
Mwen p ap egzekite chalè kòlè Mwen; Mwen p ap detwi Éphraïm ankò. Paske se Bondye Mwen ye, Mwen pa lòm; Sila Ki Sen nan mitan nou an e Mwen p ap antre nan kòlè.
10 They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
Yo va mache dèyè SENYÈ a, Li va gwonde kon yon lyon; Anverite, Li va gwonde, e fis li yo va vini, ap tranble soti nan lwès.
11 They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
Yo va vini tranblan tankou zwazo, soti an Égypte, e kon toutrèl soti nan peyi Assyrie; epi Mwen va plase yo nan kay pa yo, deklare SENYÈ a.
12 Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
Éphraïm antoure Mwen ak manti, e lakay Israël ak desepsyon. Men anplis, Juda toujou egare, kont Bondye, li pa fidèl a Sila Ki Sen an.
