Hosea 2
1 Say ye unto your brethren: 'Ammi'; and to your sisters, 'Ruhamah.'
Se konsa n'a rele frè nou yo moun Bondye. N'a rele sè nou yo moun Bondye gen pitye pou yo.
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Pitit mwen yo, pale ak manman nou. Paske li pa madanm mwen ankò. Mwen pa mari l' non plis. Pale avè l' pou l' sispann sèvi tankou jennès, pou l' wete nan kòsaj li bann zidòl li renmen anpil yo.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Si li pa fè sa, m'ap dezabiye l' nèt, pou l' rete toutouni jan manman l' te fè l'. M'ap fè l' tounen tankou tè sèk ki pa jwenn lapli. M'ap fè l' mouri swaf dlo.
4 And I will not have compassion upon her children; for they are children of harlotry.
Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou pitit li yo non plis. Paske yo se pitit yon fanm ki nan jennès.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot, she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said: 'I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.'
Manman yo lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Wi, li menm ki te pote yo nan vant li, li avili tèt li, paske l'ap di: mwen pral jwenn nonm mwen yo. Yo ban m' tou sa m' bezwen. Yo ban m' manje, yo ban m' bwè. Yo ban m' twal lenn ak twal fen. Yo ban m' lwil oliv, yo ban m' diven pou m' bwè.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Se poutèt sa mwen pral fèmen l' nan mitan yon lantouraj pikan. Mwen pral moute yon gwo miray fè wonn li. Konsa li p'ap ka mete pye l' deyò.
7 And she shall run after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them, and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say: 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
L'a chache mwayen pou li al kouri dèyè nonm li yo, men li p'ap ka rive jwenn yo. L'a chache yo toupatou, men li p'ap jwenn yo. Lè sa a, l'a di: M'ap tounen vin jwenn premye mari mwen an, paske avè l' zafè m' te pi bon pase koulye a.
8 For she did not know that it was I that gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Pèp Izrayèl la pa t' rekonèt se mwen menm ki te ba li farin, diven ak lwil. Ata lò ak ajan, se mwen ki te ba li yo an kantite. Men, li pran yo pou fè sèvis Baal.
9 Therefore will I take back My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will snatch away My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
Se poutèt sa, lè sezon rekòt la rive, m'ap reprann farin ak diven mwen te ba li a. M'ap reprann twal lenn ak twal fin mwen te ba li pou fè rad met sou li.
10 And now will I uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of My hand.
M'ap kite l' toutouni devan tout nonm li yo. Pesonn p'ap ka vin sove l' anba men mwen.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed seasons.
Mwen pral fè l' sispann gen kè kontan. Mwen pral sispann tout fèt li yo, fèt lalin nouvèl li yo, fèt repo l' yo ak gwo fèt li fete chak lanne yo.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said: 'These are my hire that my lovers have given me'; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Kanta jaden rezen ak pye fig frans li yo, li di se nonm li yo ki te ba li yo. Enben, m'ap ravaje sa. M'ap fè yo tounen raje, bèt nan bwa va devore yo.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, wherein she offered unto them, and decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith the LORD.
Mwen pral pini l' pou tout tan li te bliye m' lan, lè li t'ap boule lansan devan Baal yo, lè li t'ap mete zanno ak kolye pou l' te ka kouri dèyè nonm li yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her.
Se poutèt sa, mwen pral mennen l' nan dezè a ankò. Mwen pral pale dous avè l', pou l' ka tounen vin jwenn mwen.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
M'a ba li jaden rezen li te gen anvan yo. M'a fè sa ki te rive l' nan Fon Malè a tounen yon okazyon pou l' jwenn sa li t'ap tann lan. L'a reponn mwen menm jan li te fè l' lè li te jenn lan, lè l' te chape anba men moun peyi Lejip yo.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali.
Jou sa a, l'a rele m' mari l', li p'ap rele m' Baal li ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di sa.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
Mwen p'ap janm kite non Baal yo soti nan bouch li, li p'ap janm nonmen non yo ankò.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
Lè sa a, m'a pase yon kontra avèk tout zannimo nan savann ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la ak tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant pou yo pa fè pèp la anyen. M'ap kraze banza ak nepe pou yo pa fè lagè ankò nan peyi a, pou moun ka kouche dòmi ak kè poze san danje.
19 And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion.
Izrayèl, m'ap pran angajman pou m' viv avè ou pou tout tan, m'ap toujou respekte ou, m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen avè ou. M'ap toujou renmen ou, m'ap toujou gen pitye pou ou.
20 And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the LORD.
M'ap kenbe pwomès mwen, w'ap pou mwen nèt. Konsa, w'a konnen ki moun mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ye.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth;
Jou sa a, m'a reponn lapriyè tout moun. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap fè lapli soti nan syèl tonbe sou latè.
22 And the earth shall respond to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel.
Tè a va bay manje, diven ak lwil. Se konsa m'a reponn lapriyè moun Jizreyèl yo.
23 And I will sow her unto Me in the land; and I will have compassion upon her that had not obtained compassion; and I will say to them that were not My people: 'Thou art My people'; and they shall say: 'Thou art my God.'
M'ap fè yo peple nan peyi a. M'a gen pitye pou moun mwen te meprize yo. M'a pale ak moun ki pa moun pa m' yo, m'a di yo: Se pèp mwen nou ye. Yo menm, y'a reponn: Wi, se Bondye nou ou ye.
