Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this—O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence, —for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
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, a slaughter, have apostates deeply designed, —though, I, was a rebuker to them all.
Rebèl yo desann fon nan fè masak; men Mwen va fè chatiman rive sou Yo tout.
3 I, have known Ephraim, and, Israel, hath not been hidden from me, —for, now, hast thou committed unchastity, O Ephraim, Israel, hath made himself impure.
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 suffer, them to return unto their God, —for, the spirit of unchastity, is within them, and, Yahweh, have they 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 will the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face, —and, Israel and Ephraim, shall stumble in their iniquity, even Judah with them, hath stumbled.
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6 With their flocks and with their herds, will they go to seek Yahweh, but shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 With Yahweh, have they dealt treacherously, for, to alien children, have they given birth, —now, a new moon, shall devour them, with their portions.
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 a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, —sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin!
“Soufle kòn Guibea a, twonpèt Rama a. Sone alam Beth-Aven nan: Dèyè ou, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim, shall become, a desolation, in the day of rebuke: Throughout the tribes of Israel, have I hide known what is sure.
Éphraïm va vin yon kote dezole nan jou repwòch la; Pami tribi Israël yo, Mwen deklare sa ki va rive.
10 The rulers of Judah have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.
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, crushed in judgment, —because he hath, wilfully, walked after falsehood.
Éphraïm vin oprime, Li vin kraze nan jijman an, akoz li te pran desizyon pou swiv zidòl yo.
12 But, I, was like a moth, to Ephraim, —and like rotten wood to the house of Judah.
Akoz sa, mwen vin tankou yon papiyon twal pou Éphraïm e tankou pouriti pou lakay Juda.
13 When Ephraim, saw, his injury, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim unto Assyria, and [Judah] sent unto a hostile king, —yet, he, cannot heal you, nor will the wound, remove from you.
“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, will be as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah, —I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.
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 depart, will return unto my place! till what time they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my face, —In their trouble, will they make for me diligent search.
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.”
