Hosea 9
1 Israel, don't rejoice! Don't celebrate like other nations! For you have practiced prostitution; you have loved a prostitute's wages on every threshing floor of grain.
Pa rejwi, O Israël, ak lajwa kon nasyon yo! Paske ou te fè pwostitisyon. Ou te abandone Bondye ou a. Ou te renmen salè kòb ki konn ranmase sou nenpòt glasi vannen.
2 Your threshing floors and winepresses will not feed you; the land will fail to produce your new wine.
Glasi vannen a ak pèz diven an p ap nouri yo, e diven nèf la va fè yo vin twonpe.
3 You will not stay in the Lord's land, instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Yo p ap rete nan peyi SENYÈ a, men Éphraïm va retounen an Égypte, e yo va manje sa ki pa pwòp an Assyrie.
4 You won't pour out any drink offerings to the Lord. None of your sacrifices will please him. Your sacrifices will be like food eaten by a person in mourning—all who eat will be unclean. You will eat this food yourselves, but it will not enter the house of the Lord.
Yo p ap vide ofrann bwason diven a SENYÈ a, Ni yo p ap fè L plezi. Sakrifis yo va tankou pen moun ki fè dèy pou mò. Tout moun ki manje ladan va vin souye, paske pen pa yo va sèlman pou plen vant yo. Li p ap antre lakay SENYÈ a.
5 What are you going to do on the days of your appointed religious feasts, on the days of the festivals of the Lord?
Kisa ou va fè nan jou fèt apwente a, ak nan jou a fèt SENYÈ a?
6 Look, they have left because of the destruction: Egypt with gather them, and Memphis will bury them. They gain a “valued possession” for their silver. Weeds will possess them, and thorns will grow over their tents.
Paske, gade byen, lè yo pran flit devan destriksyon, Égypte va ranmase yo. Moph va antere yo. Se machacha k ap vin pran trezò ajan yo. Se bwa pikan k ap fè tant yo.
7 The time of punishment has come; the day of retribution has arrived. Let Israel know! You say the prophet is a fool, the man of the Spirit is mad, because your sin and hostility is so great.
Jou pinisyon yo gen tan rive. Jou jijman yo gen tan rive. Israël va konsidere Pwofèt la kon yon moun fou, moun ki gen gwo limyè a kon plen ak foli, akoz inikite ou yo tèlman vin anpil, e akoz rayisman ou yo vin tèlman gran.
8 The watchman over Ephraim is with my God, and a prophet is a birdcatcher's snare on all his ways. Hatred is in the house of his God
Yon pwofèt veye sou Éphraïm avèk Bondye mwen an. Yon pèlen moun pou kapte se nan tout chemen li yo, e se sèl mepriz li twouve lakay Bondye li a.
9 for they have corrupted themselves so deeply, as in the time of Gibeah. He will remember their sin; he will punish their wickedness.
Yo antre tèt yo byen fon nan koripsyon, tankou nan jou a Guibea yo. Li va sonje inikite yo. Li va pini peche yo.
10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your forefathers it was like seeing early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they gave themselves over to that shameful idol, becoming as filthy as the filthy thing they loved.
Mwen te twouve Israël tankou rezen yo nan dezè. Mwen te wè papa zansèt nou yo tankou premye fwi sou pye fig nan premye sezon li. Men yo te rive kote Baal-Peor; yo te konsakre tèt yo a gwo wont, e yo te vin abominab menm jan ak sila ke yo te renmen a.
11 Ephraim! Like a bird that flies away so shall your glory—no births, no pregnancies, no conceptions.
Pou Éphraïm glwa yo va vole ale kon zwazo. P ap gen ni nesans, ni ansent, ni konsepsyon.
12 Even if they bring up children, I will make sure they do not survive. What a disaster for you when I turn away from you!
Malgre yo leve pwòp pitit yo, Mwen va prive yo de yo, jiskaske pa gen yon moun ki rete. Wi, anverite malè a yo menm, lè Mwen kite yo!
13 Ephraim! Just as I saw Tyre planted in a meadow, so too Ephraim will lead out his children to the murderer.
Mwen wè Éphraïm, jan Mwen te wè Tyr la, plante nan yon bèl chan; men Éphraïm va fè parèt ak pitit li yo pou gran masak la.
14 Give them—well, Lord, what should you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and dry breasts.
Bay yo!—O SENYÈ! Kisa Ou va bay yo? Bay yo yon ti vant foskouch ak tete sèch.
15 All of their evil began at Gilgal, and that's where I began to hate them. I will drive them out of my house because of their wickedness. I will love them no longer; all their leaders are rebels.
Tout mechanste yo se nan Guilgal; Anverite se la Mwen te rayi yo! Akoz mechanste a zak yo, Mwen va chase yo sòti lakay Mwen. Mwen p ap renmen yo ankò; tout prens yo se rebèl.
16 Ephraim, you are blighted, dried up from the roots. You shall bear no fruit. Even if you have children, I will slaughter your beloved offspring.
Éphraïm vin frape. Rasin yo vin sèch. Yo p ap bay fwi. Menm si yo ka fè pitit, Mwen va touye fwi byeneme a vant yo a.
17 My God will reject you because you have not listened to him, and you will become homeless wanderers among the nations.
Bondye mwen an va jete yo deyò akoz yo pa t koute Li; epi yo va vin vagabon pami nasyon yo.
