Hosea 14
1 “Turn back, O Israel, to your God YHWH, For you have stumbled by your iniquity.
Tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou non, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo! Se peche nou yo ki te fè nou tonbe.
2 Take words with you, and turn to YHWH, Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we render the fruit of our lips.
Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a! Men sa pou nou di li: Padonnen tout peche nou yo. Asepte sa n'ap mande ou la a. Nou p'ap ofri ou towo bèf ankò, n'ap fè lwanj ou pito.
3 Asshur does not save us, we do not ride on a horse, Nor do we say anymore, Our god, to the work of our hands, For in You the fatherless find mercy.
Moun Lasiri yo p'ap janm ka sove nou. Nou p'ap mete konfyans nou ankò nan chwal pou fè lagè. Nou p'ap janm gade zidòl nou fè ak men nou pou nou di yo se yo ki bondye nou. Nou rekonèt, Seyè, se ou menm ki gen pitye pou timoun ki san papa.
4 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For My anger has turned back from him.
Seyè a di ankò: -M'ap rale pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò. M'ap renmen yo ak tout kè m'. Mwen p'ap ankòlè sou yo ankò.
5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourishes as a lily, And he strikes forth his roots as Lebanon.
M'ap tankou lawouze pou moun Izrayèl yo. Yo pral fleri tankou flè nan jaden. Yo pral pouse rasin tankou pyebwa nan peyi Liban.
6 His shoots go on, And his splendor is as an olive, And he has fragrance as Lebanon.
Yo pral boujonnen sou tout kò yo. Y'ap bèl tankou pye oliv. Y'ap santi bon tankou pye sèd peyi Liban.
7 The dwellers return under his shadow, They revive [as] grain, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
Yo gen pou yo tounen vin rete anba zèl mwen pou m' pwoteje yo. Jaden ble yo pral donnen ankò. Yo pral fleri tankou pye rezen. Non yo ap nan tout bouch tankou bon mak diven yo fè nan peyi Liban.
8 O Ephraim, what have I anymore to do with idols? I have answered, and I look after him: I [am] as a green fir-tree, Your fruit is found from Me.
Nou menm moun Izrayèl, konnen mwen pa gen anyen pou mwen wè ak zidòl. Mwen menm m'a reponn yo lè y'ap lapriyè. M'ap okipe yo tankou pye bwapen ki rete toujou vèt, m'ap ba yo lonbraj. Se mwen menm k'ap ba yo tout kalite benediksyon.
9 Who [is] wise, and understands these? Prudent, and knows them? For upright are the ways of YHWH, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!”
Se pou moun ki gen konprann chache konprann sa ki ekri la a. Se pou moun ki gen lespri chache konprann li. Paske chemen Bondye se chemen ki dwat. Moun k'ap viv dapre volonte Bondye ap mache ladan l' san anyen p'ap rive yo. Men, moun ki vire do yo bay Bondye ap bite sou wout la.
