< Hosea 5 >

1 Preestis, here ye this, and the hous of Israel, perseyue ye, and the hous of the kyng, herkne ye; for whi doom is to you, for ye ben maad a snare to lokyng afer, and as a net spred abrood on Thabor.
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 ye bowiden doun sacrifices in to depthe; and Y am the lernere of alle hem.
Moun k'ap fè mechanste yo al twò lwen. Se mwen menm k'ap pini yo tout.
3 Y knowe Effraym, and Israel is not hid fro me; for now Effraym dide fornicacioun, Israel is defoulid.
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 Thei schulen not yiue her thouytis, that thei turne ayen to her God; for the spirit of fornicacioun is in the myddis of hem, and thei knewen not the Lord.
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 the boost of Israel schal answere in to the face therof, and Israel and Effraym schulen falle in her wickidnesse; also Judas schal falle with hem.
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 In her flockis, and in her droues thei schulen go to seke the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde; he is takun awei fro hem.
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 Thei trespassiden ayens the Lord, for thei gendriden alien sones; now the monethe schal deuoure hem with her partis.
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 Sowne ye with a clarioun in Gabaa, with a trumpe in Rama; yelle ye in Bethauen, after thi bak, Beniamyn.
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 Effraym schal be in to desolacioun, in the dai of amendyng, and in the lynagis of Israel Y schewide feith.
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 The princes of Juda ben maad as takynge terme; Y schal schede out on hem my wraththe as watir.
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 Effraym suffrith fals chalenge, and is brokun bi doom; for he bigan to go after filthis.
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 Y am as a mouyte to Effraym, and as rot to the hous of Juda.
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 Effraym siy his sikenesse, and Judas siy his boond. And Effraym yede to Assur, and sente to the kyng veniere. And he mai not saue you, nether he mai vnbynde the boond fro 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 Y am as a lionesse to Effraym, and as a whelp of a lioun to the hous of Juda.
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 Y my silf schal take, and go, and take awei, and noon is that schal delyuere. I schal go, and turne ayen to my place, til ye failen, and seken my face.
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'.
