Osee 5
1 Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
Koute sa byen, nou menm prèt yo! Pare zòrèy nou, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo! Louvri zòrèy nou, nou menm ki fanmi wa a! Se nou menm y'ap jije koulye a. Nou tounen yon pyèj sou mòn Mispa. nou tounen yon pèlen yo mete sou mòn Tabò.
2 which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
Moun k'ap fè mechanste yo al twò lwen. Se mwen menm k'ap pini yo tout.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
Depi lontan mwen konnen moun Efrayim yo. Pou moun Izrayèl yo menm, nanpwen anyen sou yo mwen pa konnen. Moun Efrayim yo lage kò yo nan fè tankou jennès, yo kite m' pou lòt bondye. Moun Izrayèl yo menm mete tèt yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
4 They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
Avèk tou sa pèp la ap fè a, yo pa ka tounen vin jwenn Bondye yo a ankò. Yo pran nan sèvi zidòl. Yo pa konnen Seyè a ankò!
5 And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
Sa pèp Izrayèl la ap fè nan awogans li, se sa k'ap lakòz yo kondannen l'. Avèk peche moun Izrayèl ak moun Efrayim yo ap plede fè yo, y'ap bite, y'ap tonbe. Menm moun peyi Jida yo ap bite ansanm ak yo tou.
6 They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
Y'a pran mouton ak bèf pou fè ofrann pou Seyè a. Y'a chache l', men yo p'ap jwenn li, paske li wete kò l' sou yo.
7 For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
Yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Seyè a, yo twonpe l'. Yo fè yon bann timoun ki pa janm konnen Bondye. Nan yon sèl mwa, Bondye ap detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout jaden yo.
8 Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
Kònen klewon an lavil Gibeya! Sonnen avètisman an lavil Rama! Bay rèl lavil Betavenn pou moun yo pare pou lagè! Leve pye nou, moun Benjamen! Lènmi dèyè nou.
9 Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
Jou pou yo pini moun Efrayim yo rive. Y'ap fini nèt avèk yo. M'ap kanpe nan mitan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, m'ap fè yo konnen sa ki gen pou rive vre.
10 The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
Seyè a di ankò: Chèf peyi Jida yo fè menm bagay ak moun k'ap deplase bòn pou antre sou tè moun. M'ap move sou yo, m'ap vare sou yo tankou lavalas k'ap desann!
11 Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgement under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
Moun Efrayim yo ap soufri anba moun k'ap peze yo a. Yo pèdi tè ki pou yo dapre lalwa, paske yo te soti pou yo te swiv moun ki pa gen anyen pou bay.
12 Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
M'ap fini ak moun Efrayim yo, m'ap manje yo tankou poudbwa manje bwa. M'ap disparèt moun peyi Jida yo, m'ap fè yo tounen pouriti.
13 And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
Moun Efrayim yo wè jan peyi a te malad, moun Jida yo te wè eta malenng peyi a. Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo kouri al mande sekou nan peyi Lasiri, yo voye moun al mande gran wa a sekou. Men, gran wa sa a pa ka ban nou gerizon, ni li p'ap ka geri malenng nou yo.
14 Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
M'ap atake moun Efrayim yo tankou yon lyon. M'ap tonbe sou moun Jida yo tankou yon jenn ti lyon. Wi, se mwen k'ap dechire yo an miyèt moso. Apre sa, m'ap kite yo, m'ap depòte yo byen lwen peyi yo. Pesonn p'ap ka sove yo anba men m'.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
M'ap vire do m' tounen lakay mwen jouk y'a rekonèt fòt yo. Se lè sa a y'a chache m'. Wi, lè y'a wè jan y'ap soufri a, y'a mete chache m'.
