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.
An emptied vine is Israel; how should he bring forth fruit for himself? the more numerous was his fruit the more he increased the altars; the more prosperous was his land, the more they made goodly statues.
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 bear their guilt: this will break down their altars, will devastate their statues.
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 will they say, We have no king; because we fear not the Lord: and the king—what can he 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.
They have spoken [vain] words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: therefore springeth up the punishment as poison 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.
For the calves of Beth-aven are terrified the inhabitants of Samaria: yea, the people thereof mourn over them, and also its false priests that [before] rejoiced over them, for its glory, 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.
Also this shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to the contentious king: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed because 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 shall vanish like the foam upon the surface 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 destroyed shall be the high-places of Aven, [the cause of] the sin of Israel; the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars: and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon 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.
More than in the days of Gib'ah hast thou sinned, O Israel! there they stood; and the battle in Gib'ah against the children of wickedness 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.
[But now] after my desire will I chastise them: and the people shall be gathered against them, when they harness them [for labor] 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 a well-taught heifer that loveth to tread out the corn; and I passed over her fair neck: now will I make Ephraim draw the wagon, Judah shall plough, and Jacob shall harrow the field for the enemy.
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 then for yourselves after righteousness, that you may reap [the fruit] of kindness; cultivate your fallow field; for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness down for 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.
[But] ye have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy own way, in the multitude of thy 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 thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be wasted, as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel on the day of battle, [when] 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.
The like of this doth Beth-el procure unto you because of your great wickedness: in the early morning shall utterly pass away the king of Israel.
