< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
Pa rejwi, O Israël, ak lajwa kon nasyon yo! Paske ou te fè pwostitisyon. Ou te abandone Bondye ou a. Ou te renmen salè kòb ki konn ranmase sou nenpòt glasi vannen.
2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Glasi vannen a ak pèz diven an p ap nouri yo, e diven nèf la va fè yo vin twonpe.
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
Yo p ap rete nan peyi SENYÈ a, men Éphraïm va retounen an Égypte, e yo va manje sa ki pa pwòp an Assyrie.
4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
Yo p ap vide ofrann bwason diven a SENYÈ a, Ni yo p ap fè L plezi. Sakrifis yo va tankou pen moun ki fè dèy pou mò. Tout moun ki manje ladan va vin souye, paske pen pa yo va sèlman pou plen vant yo. Li p ap antre lakay SENYÈ a.
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Kisa ou va fè nan jou fèt apwente a, ak nan jou a fèt SENYÈ a?
6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
Paske, gade byen, lè yo pran flit devan destriksyon, Égypte va ranmase yo. Moph va antere yo. Se machacha k ap vin pran trezò ajan yo. Se bwa pikan k ap fè tant yo.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
Jou pinisyon yo gen tan rive. Jou jijman yo gen tan rive. Israël va konsidere Pwofèt la kon yon moun fou, moun ki gen gwo limyè a kon plen ak foli, akoz inikite ou yo tèlman vin anpil, e akoz rayisman ou yo vin tèlman gran.
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
Yon pwofèt veye sou Éphraïm avèk Bondye mwen an. Yon pèlen moun pou kapte se nan tout chemen li yo, e se sèl mepriz li twouve lakay Bondye li a.
9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Yo antre tèt yo byen fon nan koripsyon, tankou nan jou a Guibea yo. Li va sonje inikite yo. Li va pini peche yo.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
Mwen te twouve Israël tankou rezen yo nan dezè. Mwen te wè papa zansèt nou yo tankou premye fwi sou pye fig nan premye sezon li. Men yo te rive kote Baal-Peor; yo te konsakre tèt yo a gwo wont, e yo te vin abominab menm jan ak sila ke yo te renmen a.
11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Pou Éphraïm glwa yo va vole ale kon zwazo. P ap gen ni nesans, ni ansent, ni konsepsyon.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Malgre yo leve pwòp pitit yo, Mwen va prive yo de yo, jiskaske pa gen yon moun ki rete. Wi, anverite malè a yo menm, lè Mwen kite yo!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Mwen wè Éphraïm, jan Mwen te wè Tyr la, plante nan yon bèl chan; men Éphraïm va fè parèt ak pitit li yo pou gran masak la.
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Bay yo!—O SENYÈ! Kisa Ou va bay yo? Bay yo yon ti vant foskouch ak tete sèch.
15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
Tout mechanste yo se nan Guilgal; Anverite se la Mwen te rayi yo! Akoz mechanste a zak yo, Mwen va chase yo sòti lakay Mwen. Mwen p ap renmen yo ankò; tout prens yo se rebèl.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Éphraïm vin frape. Rasin yo vin sèch. Yo p ap bay fwi. Menm si yo ka fè pitit, Mwen va touye fwi byeneme a vant yo a.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Bondye mwen an va jete yo deyò akoz yo pa t koute Li; epi yo va vin vagabon pami nasyon yo.
