Oze 10
1 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.
Israel is a leafy vine, its fruit has been suitable to him. According to the multitude of his fruit, he has multiplied altars; according to the fertility of his land, he has abounded with graven images.
2 Yo pa t' sensè! Koulye a, yo pral peye pou sa yo fè: Bondye pral kraze ni lotèl yo, ni estati yo.
His heart has been divided, so now they will cross the divide. He will break apart their images; he will plunder their sanctuaries.
3 Talè konsa, y'a di: -Nou pa gen wa, paske nou pa pè Seyè a. Lèfini, yon wa, sa l' ka fè pou nou?
For now they will say, “We have no king. For we do not fear the Lord. And what would a king do for us?”
4 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.
You speak words about a useless vision, and you will strike a deal. And judgment will spring up like bitterness in the furrows of the field.
5 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.
The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the calf of Bethaven. For the keepers of its temple, who had exulted over it in its glory, and its people, have mourned over it because it migrated from there.
6 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.
If, indeed, it also has been offered to Assur, as a gift for the Avenging king, confusion will seize Ephraim, and Israel will be confounded by his own will.
7 Y'ap fini ak lavil Samari a, wa li a ap disparèt tankou kim sou dlo.
Samaria has required her king to pass by, like foam on the face of the water.
8 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.
And the heights of the idol, the sin of Israel, will be utterly destroyed. The burr and the thistle will rise up over their altars. And they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’
9 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.
From the days of Gibeah, Israel has sinned; in this, they remained firm. The battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity will not take hold of them.
10 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.
According to my desire, I will correct them. And the peoples will be gathered together over them, while they are chastised for their two iniquities.
11 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.
Ephraim is a heifer that has been taught to love treading out the grain, but I passed over the beauty of her neck. I will rise over Ephraim. Judah will plough; Jacob will break up the soil for himself.
12 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.
Sow for yourselves in justice, and harvest in the mouth of mercy; renew your fallow land. But the time when you will seek the Lord is the time when he will arrive who will teach you justice.
13 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.
You have ploughed impiety; you have harvested iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies. For you had confidence in your ways, in the multitude of your good fortunes.
14 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.
A tumult will arise among your people. And all your fortifications will be laid waste, just as Salman was destroyed by the house of him that judged Baal on the day of the battle, the mother having been crushed against her sons.
15 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.
So has Bethel done to you, before the face of your malicious wickedness.
