Hosea 2
1 Call ye your brothers, 'Ammi [[my people]]; and your sisters, Ruchamah [[That hath obtained mercy]].
Se konsa n'a rele frè nou yo moun Bondye. N'a rele sè nou yo moun Bondye gen pitye pou yo.
2 Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; but let her put away her prostitution 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 on the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and render her like a dry land, and let her die 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 upon her children will I not have mercy; for they are children of prostitution;
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, my 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 close it up with a fence, 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 will make pursuit after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she will seek them, but shall not find them: then will she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for it was better with me then 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 But she indeed did not acknowledge, that it was I that had given her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied for her silver and gold, which they devoted for Ba'al.
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 turn back, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I 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 lay open her disgrace before the eyes of her lovers, and no man 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 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her festival, her new-moon, and her sabbath, and all her appointed feasts.
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 make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my reward which my lovers have given me: and I will change them into a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour 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 Be'alim, to which she used to burn incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and me she forgot, 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, will I allure her, and lead her forth into the wilderness, and I will speak comfortingly unto her heart.
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 [again] her vineyards from there, and the valley of 'Achor [[sorrow]] as an entrance for hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as on the day of her coming 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 happen at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi [[my husband]], and shalt not call me any more Ba'ali [[my lord]].
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 remove the names of the Be'alim 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 I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and bow, and sword, and war I will break away out of the land, and I will cause them to lie down in safety.
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 loving-kindness, and in mercy.
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 on that day, that I will answer prayer, saith the Lord, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer 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 answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Yizre'el.
Tè a va bay manje, diven ak lwil. Se konsa m'a reponn lapriyè moun Jizreyèl yo.
23 And I will sow her for me in the land; and I will have mercy upon “Her that had not obtained mercy” [[Lo-ruchamah]]; and I will say to those who were “Not my people” [[Lo-'ammi]], 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.
