< 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 an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 Yo pa t' sensè! Koulye a, yo pral peye pou sa yo fè: Bondye pral kraze ni lotèl yo, ni estati yo.
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
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 shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to 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.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock 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 shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
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.
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Y'ap fini ak lavil Samari a, wa li a ap disparèt tankou kim sou dlo.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon 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.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall 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.
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake 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.
It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
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.
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
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 to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
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.
All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
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.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
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 shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
