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.
A luxuriant vine, is Israel, fruit, beseemeth him, —According to the abundance of his fruit, hath he brought abundance to the altars, according to the goodliness of his land, hath he 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.
Hypocritical is their heart, Now, shall they be held guilty, —He, will break down their altars, he will destroy their statutes.
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, —for we revere not Yahweh, and what could, 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.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely, in solemnizing a covenant, —therefore shall judgment, spring up like a poisonous plant, on the ridges 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.
About the calves of Beth-aven, will the inhabitant of Samaria be concerned, —for the people thereof, have mourned over it, and, the ascetics thereof, who, over it, used to exult, [shall mourn] for the glory thereof, because it hath departed therefrom.
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.
Itself also, to Assyria, shall be borne along, as a present to a hostile king, —shame, shall Ephraim receive, that Israel, may be ashamed, of his own counsel.
7 Y'ap fini ak lavil Samari a, wa li a ap disparèt tankou kim sou dlo.
Silenced is Samaria: her king, is as a chip on the face of the waters,
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.
So shall the high places of Aven, be destroyed, the sin of Israel, Thorn and prickle, shall come up on their altars, —Therefore shall they 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.
Beyond the days of Gibeah, hast thou sinned, O Israel: there, came they to a stand, the battle against the sons of perversity, touched them not in Gibeah.
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.
When I please, then will I chastise them, —and there shall be gathered together against them—peoples, they being harnessed to 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.
But, Ephraim, shall be a heifer broken in, loving to tread out corn, when, I, have passed over upon her fair neck, —I will drive Ephraim, Judah, shall plow, Jacob, shall harrow to him.
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 ye at the bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil, —then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness 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.
Ye have plowed lawlessness, perversity, have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of deception, —because thou didst trust in thy chariots, 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 there arise a tumult among thy peoples, and, all thy fortresses, shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel, in the day of battle, —the mother, upon her children, dashed to the ground.
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.
Even so, hath Bethel, done to you, because of your exceeding wickedness, —in the dawn, shall the king of Israel be, utterly silenced.
