Hosea 11
1 When Israel was, a child, then I loved him, —and, out of Egypt, called I my son.
Lè Israël te yon timoun, Mwen te renmen l; epi soti nan Égypte, Mwen te rele fis mwen an.
2 They invited them, —at once, they departed from before me, they, to the Baals, sacrificed, and, to the images, offered incense.
Plis pwofèt yo te rele yo, plis yo te kouri kite yo. Yo te kontinye fè sakrifis bay Baal yo, e brile lansan bay zidòl yo.
3 Yet, I, had taught Ephraim to walk, I used to take them upon mine arms, —But they acknowledged not that I had healed them.
Malgre sa, se te Mwen ki te montre Éphraïm jan pou l mache. Nan bra M, Mwen te pran yo; men yo pa t konnen ke Mwen te geri yo.
4 With human cords, used I to draw them, with the bands of love, so became I unto them like those who remove the yoke [that was] on their jaws, —and, holding out [food] to him, I let him eat.
Mwen te mennen yo ak kòd a yon nonm, ak lyann lanmou. Konsa, Mwen te vini pou yo kon sila ki retire jouk la sòti nan kou yo. Mwen te bese mete manje devan yo.
5 He was not to turn back into the land of Egypt, Howbeit, the Assyrian—he, became his king, for they refused to turn.
Yo p ap retounen nan peyi Égypte, men Wa Assyrie a va vin wa yo, akoz yo te refize retounen kote Mwen.
6 Therefore shall the sword, rage, in his cities, and make an end of his multitudes, and consume them, —because of their counsels.
Nepe va tonbe kont vil yo, pou kraze pòtay ak fè fòje yo, e li va fè tout plan yo disparèt.
7 But, my people, are bent towards turning from me, though upwards they call them, none of them can lift them.
Pèp Mwen an fè desizyon nèt pou vire kite Mwen. Malgre yo rele yo vè Sila ki Pi Wo a, anverite, yo p ap egzalte.
8 How can I give thee up, Ephraim? abandon thee Israel? How can I make thee as Admah? set thee as Zeboim? Mine own heart, turneth against me, at once, are kindled my compassions.
Kòman Mwen ta kapab lage ou, O Éphraïm? Kòman Mwen ta kapab kite ou ale, O Israël? Kòman Mwen ta kapab fè ou tankou Adma? Kòman Mwen ta kapab aji avèk ou tankou Tseboïm? Kè M vire nèt anndan M; konpasyon Mwen vin anflame.
9 I cannot execute the glow of mine anger, I cannot turn to destroy Ephraim, —for, GOD, am, I, and not man, When thou drawest near, [I am] a Holy One, though I do not enter a city.
Mwen p ap egzekite chalè kòlè Mwen; Mwen p ap detwi Éphraïm ankò. Paske se Bondye Mwen ye, Mwen pa lòm; Sila Ki Sen nan mitan nou an e Mwen p ap antre nan kòlè.
10 After Yahweh, let them go, Like a lion, will he roar, —When, he, shall roar, then let sons, come trembling, out of the West.
Yo va mache dèyè SENYÈ a, Li va gwonde kon yon lyon; Anverite, Li va gwonde, e fis li yo va vini, ap tranble soti nan lwès.
11 Let them come trembling like a small bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria, —so will I cause them to dwell by their own houses, Declareth Yahweh.
Yo va vini tranblan tankou zwazo, soti an Égypte, e kon toutrèl soti nan peyi Assyrie; epi Mwen va plase yo nan kay pa yo, deklare SENYÈ a.
12 They have compassed me about—with denial, Ephraim, with deceit, the house of Israel, —but, Judah, hath, again and again, run riot with GOD, though, with the holy places, entrusted.
Éphraïm antoure Mwen ak manti, e lakay Israël ak desepsyon. Men anplis, Juda toujou egare, kont Bondye, li pa fidèl a Sila Ki Sen an.
