Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O ye priests; and listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.
Tande bagay sa a, O prèt yo! Prete zòrèy ou O lakay Israël! Koute byen, O lakay wa a! Paske jijman an se pou ou, paske ou te yon pèlen nan Mitspa e yon Filè ouvri sou Thabor.
2 And for murdering they who had rebelled [against God] concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.
Rebèl yo desann fon nan fè masak; men Mwen va fè chatiman rive sou Yo tout.
3 I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, [and] Israel is defiled.
Mwen konnen Éphraïm e Israël pa kache devan M; paske koulye a, O Éphraïm, ou te jwe pwostitiye. Israël te souye tèt li.
4 Their doings will not permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.
Zak yo p ap pèmèt ke yo retounen jwenn Bondye yo a, paske, yon lespri pwostitisyon rete anndan yo. Yo pa konnen SENYÈ a.
5 Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
Anplis, ògèy Israël la temwaye kont li. Donk, Israël ak Éphraïm va tonbe nan inikite yo. Anplis, Juda va tonbe avèk yo.
6 With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Yo va ale avèk bann mouton ak twoupo yo pou y al chache SENYÈ a, men yo p ap jwenn Li. Li te retire tèt Li kite yo.
7 Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.
Yo te aji an trèt kont SENYÈ a, paske yo te fè pitit ilejitim. Koulye a nouvèl lin nan va devore yo menm ak chan yo.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gib'ah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Beth-aven, [The enemy is] after thee, O Benjamin.
“Soufle kòn Guibea a, twonpèt Rama a. Sone alam Beth-Aven nan: Dèyè ou, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.
Éphraïm va vin yon kote dezole nan jou repwòch la; Pami tribi Israël yo, Mwen deklare sa ki va rive.
10 The princes of Judah were like those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.
Prens a Juda yo te vin tankou sila ki deplase Bòn yo; Sou yo, Mwen va vide tout chalè kòlè Mwen an tankou dlo.
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment [of false prophets].
Éphraïm vin oprime, Li vin kraze nan jijman an, akoz li te pran desizyon pou swiv zidòl yo.
12 But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
Akoz sa, mwen vin tankou yon papiyon twal pou Éphraïm e tankou pouriti pou lakay Juda.
13 Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and [the other] sent to the king that should contend [[Jareb]]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you your wound.
“Lè Éphraïm te wè maladi li a, e Juda, jan li te blese a; alò, Éphraïm te ale kote Assyrie. Li te voye kote Wa Jareb. Men li p ap ka geri w, ni li p ap ka fè geri maleng ou an.
14 For I am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.
Paske, Mwen va tankou yon lyon pou Éphraïm, e Mwen va tankou yon jenn lyon pou lakay Juda. Mwen menm, Mwen va chire an mòso e Mwen va ale. Mwen va pote ale, e p ap gen moun ki pou delivre.
15 I will go [from here, and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
Mwen va ale retounen nan plas Mwen, jiskaske yo vin rekonèt koupabilite yo, pou chache fas Mwen. Nan soufrans yo, y ap vin chache Mwen ak tout kè.”
