Hosea 7
1 When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
Lè M ta geri blesi Israël, inikite a Éphraïm nan vin dekouvri, ak mechanste a Samarie a tou; paske yo aji nan manti. Vòlè a antre, bandi yo atake pa deyò.
2 And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
Yo pa menm reflechi nan kè yo ke Mwen Sonje tout mechanste yo. Alò, zak yo ap antoure yo; yo devan figi Mwen.
3 The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
Ak mechanste yo, yo fè kè wa a kontan, epi prens yo, ak manti yo.
4 They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
Yo tout se adiltè; yo tankou yon fou la ke bos boulanje sispann chofe, depi nan lè l ap petri Pat farin nan, jis rive lè pan an fin leve.
5 On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
Nan jou a wa nou an, prens yo te fè tèt yo malad ak chalè diven an. Li te lonje men li ak mokè yo.
6 For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
Paske kè yo vin tankou yon fou pandan y ap kouche tan moun. Fachez yo fè gwo touf lafimen tout lannwit. Nan maten, li brile tankou yon gwo flanm dife.
7 They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
Yo tout cho tankou yon fou. Yo manje jij yo. Tout wa yo fin tonbe. Nanpwen youn pami yo ki rele M.
8 Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
Éphraïm mele li menm ak nasyon yo. Éphraïm se yon gato ki pa t vire.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
Etranje yo devore fòs li, men li pa wè sa a. Anplis, cheve blanch yo la sou li, men li pa konnen.
10 And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
Malgre sa ògèy Israël la fè temwaye kont li, men yo pa retounen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a. Ni yo pa chache Li, malgre tout sa.
11 And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
Konsa, Éphraïm te vin tankou yon toutrèl egare, san bon sans. Yo rele vè Egypte. Yo ale Assyrie.
12 And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
Lè yo ale, Mwen va ouvri pèlen Mwen sou yo. Mwen va desann yo tankou zwazo syèl yo. Mwen va bay yo chatiman, jan kongregasyon yo a te tande a.
13 Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
Malè a yo menm! Paske yo te gaye kite Mwen! Destriksyon pou yo menm, paske yo te fè rebèl kont Mwen! Mwen ta rachte yo, men yo fè manti kont Mwen.
14 And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
Yo pa t kriye a Mwen menm avèk kè yo, men yo rele fò sou kabann yo. Yo rasanble tèt yo pou sereyal ak diven nèf. Men yo vire kite Mwen.
15 And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
Malgre se Mwen ki enstwi ponyèt yo pou yo ta vin fò, malgre sa, yo fè konplo pou mal kont Mwen.
16 They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
Yo vire, men pa a Sila ki anwo a. Yo tankou yon banza k ap twonpe moun. Prens yo va tonbe devan nepe akoz ensolans a lang yo. Sa va fèt pou yo ka vin pase nan rizib nan peyi Egypte.
