Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
Koute sa byen, nou menm prèt yo! Pare zòrèy nou, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo! Louvri zòrèy nou, nou menm ki fanmi wa a! Se nou menm y'ap jije koulye a. Nou tounen yon pyèj sou mòn Mispa. nou tounen yon pèlen yo mete sou mòn Tabò.
2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.
Moun k'ap fè mechanste yo al twò lwen. Se mwen menm k'ap pini yo tout.
3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Depi lontan mwen konnen moun Efrayim yo. Pou moun Izrayèl yo menm, nanpwen anyen sou yo mwen pa konnen. Moun Efrayim yo lage kò yo nan fè tankou jennès, yo kite m' pou lòt bondye. Moun Izrayèl yo menm mete tèt yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
4 They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.
Avèk tou sa pèp la ap fè a, yo pa ka tounen vin jwenn Bondye yo a ankò. Yo pran nan sèvi zidòl. Yo pa konnen Seyè a ankò!
5 And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.
Sa pèp Izrayèl la ap fè nan awogans li, se sa k'ap lakòz yo kondannen l'. Avèk peche moun Izrayèl ak moun Efrayim yo ap plede fè yo, y'ap bite, y'ap tonbe. Menm moun peyi Jida yo ap bite ansanm ak yo tou.
6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.
Y'a pran mouton ak bèf pou fè ofrann pou Seyè a. Y'a chache l', men yo p'ap jwenn li, paske li wete kò l' sou yo.
7 Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.
Yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Seyè a, yo twonpe l'. Yo fè yon bann timoun ki pa janm konnen Bondye. Nan yon sèl mwa, Bondye ap detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout jaden yo.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.
Kònen klewon an lavil Gibeya! Sonnen avètisman an lavil Rama! Bay rèl lavil Betavenn pou moun yo pare pou lagè! Leve pye nou, moun Benjamen! Lènmi dèyè nou.
9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.
Jou pou yo pini moun Efrayim yo rive. Y'ap fini nèt avèk yo. M'ap kanpe nan mitan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, m'ap fè yo konnen sa ki gen pou rive vre.
10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.
Seyè a di ankò: Chèf peyi Jida yo fè menm bagay ak moun k'ap deplase bòn pou antre sou tè moun. M'ap move sou yo, m'ap vare sou yo tankou lavalas k'ap desann!
11 Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
Moun Efrayim yo ap soufri anba moun k'ap peze yo a. Yo pèdi tè ki pou yo dapre lalwa, paske yo te soti pou yo te swiv moun ki pa gen anyen pou bay.
12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
M'ap fini ak moun Efrayim yo, m'ap manje yo tankou poudbwa manje bwa. M'ap disparèt moun peyi Jida yo, m'ap fè yo tounen pouriti.
13 And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.
Moun Efrayim yo wè jan peyi a te malad, moun Jida yo te wè eta malenng peyi a. Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo kouri al mande sekou nan peyi Lasiri, yo voye moun al mande gran wa a sekou. Men, gran wa sa a pa ka ban nou gerizon, ni li p'ap ka geri malenng nou yo.
14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.
M'ap atake moun Efrayim yo tankou yon lyon. M'ap tonbe sou moun Jida yo tankou yon jenn ti lyon. Wi, se mwen k'ap dechire yo an miyèt moso. Apre sa, m'ap kite yo, m'ap depòte yo byen lwen peyi yo. Pesonn p'ap ka sove yo anba men m'.
15 I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
M'ap vire do m' tounen lakay mwen jouk y'a rekonèt fòt yo. Se lè sa a y'a chache m'. Wi, lè y'a wè jan y'ap soufri a, y'a mete chache m'.
