Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Pèp Izrayèl la te tankou yon bèl pye rezen ki te konn donnen anpil. Plis pye rezen an t'ap donnen, se plis yo t'ap bati lotèl pou zidòl. Plis tè a t'ap bay, se plis yo t'ap fè pi bèl estati pou zidòl yo.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
Yo pa t' sensè! Koulye a, yo pral peye pou sa yo fè: Bondye pral kraze ni lotèl yo, ni estati yo.
3 Surely now they will say, "We have no king; for we do not fear the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?"
Talè konsa, y'a di: -Nou pa gen wa, paske nou pa pè Seyè a. Lèfini, yon wa, sa l' ka fè pou nou?
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
Men, tou sa se pale mete la. Y'ap fè sèman yo p'ap kenbe. Y'ap siyen kontra ki p'ap sèvi yo anyen. Nan tribinal, y'ap rann move jijman. Se tankou move zèb k'ap pouse nan yon jaden ou fèk pare.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
Moun ki rete lavil Samari pral tranble tèlman y'ap pè pou ti bèf an lò Betavenn yo. Y'ap kriye paske yo pèdi l'. Prèt yo tou ap pouse rèl, paske sa ki te fè pouvwa yo a, yo wete l' nan mitan yo.
6 It also will be carried bound to Assyria as tribute for a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
Yo pran zidòl la, yo mennen l' ale nan peyi Lasiri. Yo fè gwo wa a kado l'. Yo pral fè Efrayim wont. Wi, pèp Izrayèl la pral wont paske yo t'ap swiv move konsèy.
7 Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.
Y'ap fini ak lavil Samari a, wa li a ap disparèt tankou kim sou dlo.
8 The high places also of Beth Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will grow on their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us." and to the hills, "Cover us."
Yo gen pou yo fè disparèt tout kote pèp Izrayèl la te konn adore zidòl sou mòn Betavenn yo. Pikan ak raje ap pouse sou lotèl yo. Moun yo va rele, y'a mande mòn yo pou tonbe sou yo, y'a mande ti mòn yo pou kache yo.
9 "Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn't overtake them in Gibeah.
Seyè a di: -Nou menm moun Izrayèl, depi nou te lavil Gibeya, n'ap fè peche. Depi lè sa a, nou pa janm sispann. Se konsa, lagè y'ap mennen kont mechan yo ap vire sou nou jouk lavil Gibeya.
10 I am coming to discipline them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are disciplined for their two transgressions.
Se poutèt sa, mwen soti pou m' pini yo. Moun lòt nasyon ap mete tèt ansanm sou do yo. Wi, y'ap pini yo akòz peche yo fè.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
Te gen yon lè Efrayim te tankou yon jenn ti gazèl byen drese, li te renmen degrennen mayi sou glasi. Men, koulye a, m'ap mete yon jouk sou bèl ti kou l' la, m'ap sele l' pou fè l' travay pi di. M'ap fè moun Jida yo raboure tè. Moun Jakòb yo menm, m'ap fè yo kraze boul tè.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
Mwen te di yo: Kenbe kè nou nan kondisyon pou nou sèvi Bondye. Fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye. Konsa n'a rekòlte benediksyon m'ap ban nou paske n'ap sèvi m' ak tout kè nou. Fè bwa nèf. Wi, li lè pou nou tounen vin jwenn mwen. M'a vini, m'a vide benediksyon sou nou tankou lapli.
13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Men, nou te pito fè sa ki mal devan je m'. Se konsa, nou rekòlte sa ki mal tou. N'ap peye manti nou te bay yo. Nou fè sa ki nan lide nou. Nou te mete konfyans nou nan gwo kantite sòlda nou te genyen.
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
Se konsa, lènmi pral tonbe sou moun nou yo. Y'a detwi tout fò nou yo. Se va tankou lè wa Chalman te sakaje lavil Betabèl jou gwo batay la. Lè sa a, yo te kraze ata manman ak pitit.
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
Men sa k'ap rive nou, nou menm moun lavil Betèl. Poutèt gwo mechanste nou te fè a, konmanse batay la va konmanse, wa Izrayèl la gen pou mouri.
