Osee 2
1 Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.
“Di a frè ou a ‘Pèp mwen yo’! Epi a sè ou yo, ‘Byen ame mwen an!’
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:
Rebike manman ou! Rebike, paske li pa madanm mwen; ni mwen pa mari li. Kite li retire pwostitisyon li yo devan figi li, ak adiltè li yo soti antre tete li yo;
3 that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.
sinon M ta chire retire tout rad li pou fè l parèt toutouni menm jan ak jou li te fèt la; pou fè l vin tankou yon peyi dezè e touye li ak swaf.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.
Anplis, Mwen p ap fè mizerikòd sou pitit li yo, akoz yo se pitit a pwostitiye.
5 And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.
Paske manman yo te fè pwostitisyon. Li ki te fè yo aji san wont, paske li te di: ‘Mwen va swiv moun ki renmen mwen yo, ki ban m pen ak dlo mwen, lenn ak len mwen, lwil ak bwason mwen.’
6 Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
Akoz sa, Mwen va fè monte yon kloti pikan, e Mwen va bati yon mi kont li pou l pa ka twouve ti wout li yo.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.
Li va kouri dèyè moun ki renmen li yo, men li p ap ka rive sou yo. Li va chache yo, men li p ap jwenn yo. Konsa li va di: ‘M ap prale retounen kote premye mari Mwen an, paske lè sa a te pi bon pou mwen pase koulye a.’
8 And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal.
Paske li pa t konnen ke se te Mwen ki te bay li sereyal la, diven nèf ak lwil la, e ki te bay li anpil lò ak ajan ke yo te fè sèvi pou Baal yo.
9 Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.
Akoz sa, Mwen va reprann sereyal Mwen an nan lè rekòlt la ak diven Mwen an nan sezon li an. Mwen va, anplis, retire lenn Mwen an ak len Ki te pou kouvri pou li pa t toutouni an.
10 And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.
Konsa, Mwen va dekouvri wont li devan zye a tout moun ki renmen li yo, e pèsòn p ap mande fè l soti nan men Mwen.
11 And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
Anplis, Mwen va mete fen a tout kè kontan l; fèt li yo, nouvèl lin li yo, Saba a, ak tout Gwo rasanbleman fèt li yo.
12 And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.
Mwen va detwi pye rezen li yo ansanm ak pye fig fwi etranje yo selon sila li te di: ‘Sa yo se salè mwen, ke moun ki renmen m yo te ban mwen.’ Mwen va fè yo tounen yon rakbwa, e bèt chan va devore yo.
13 And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the Lord.
Mwen va pini li pou jou Baal yo, kote li te brile lasan nan, lè l te abiye tèt li ak zanno ak bijou yo, pou l swiv moun ki renmen li yo, epi tebliye Mwen” deklare SENYÈ a.
14 Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.
Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen va atire li mennen li antre nan dezè a pou pale dous avèk li.
15 And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
Epi soti la, Mwen va bay li chan rezen yo, ak Vale Akò a kon yon pòt espwa. Li va reponn la tankou nan jou jenès li yo, tankou nan jou lè l te vin monte soti nan peyi Égypte la.
16 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.
Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ a, “ke ou va rele Mwen: ‘Mari mwen’ e ou p ap rele M ankò: ‘Met mwen’.
17 And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.
Paske Mwen va retire non a Baal yo soti nan bouch li, pou yo pa nonmen pa non yo ankò.
18 And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause you to dwell safely.
Nan jou sa a, anplis, Mwen va fè yon Akò pou yo ak bèt chan yo, zwazo syèl yo ak sa ki trennen atè yo. Mwen va aboli banza, nepe ak lagè soti nant peyi a, e Mwen va fè yo kouche dòmi ansekirite.
19 And I will betroth you to myself for ever; yes, I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;
Mwen va fè ou vin renmen M jis pou tout tan. Wi, Mwen va fè ou vin renmen M nan ladwati ak lajistis, nan lanmou dous ak konpasyon.
20 and I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness: and you shall know the Lord.
Epi Mwen va fè ou renmen M nan fidelite. Nan lè sa a, ou va konnen SENYÈ a.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will listen to the heaven, and it shall listen to the earth;
“Li va vin rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va reponn”, deklare SENYÈ a. “Mwen va reponn a syèl yo, e yo va reponn a tè a.
22 and the earth shall listen to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall listen to Jezrael.
Epi Latè va reponn a sereyal la, diven nèf ak lwil la; epi yo va reponn a Jizreel.
23 And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are the Lord my God.
Mwen va simen li kote M nan tè a, Mwen va genyen mizerikòd pou li, fi ki pa t konn jwenn mizerikòd la. Konsa, Mwen va di a sila ki pa t pèp Mwen an: ‘Ou se pèp Mwen an!’ Epi yo va reponn: ‘Ou se Bondye mwen!’”
