Oze 11
1 Lè pèp Izrayèl la te timoun toujou, mwen te renmen l' tankou pitit gason mwen. Mwen te rele l', mwen fè l' soti kite peyi Lejip.
When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
2 Men, plis mwen te konsidere l' tankou pitit mwen, se plis li t'ap vire do ban mwen. Yo t'ap plede fè ofrann bèt pou Baal, yo t'ap plede boule lansan pou zidòl.
They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
3 Se mwen menm ki te moutre moun Izrayèl yo jan pou yo mache. Mwen te konn pran yo nan bra mwen. Men, yo pa t' vle rekònèt se mwen menm ki te pran swen yo.
I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.
4 Pou m' te ka rale yo sou mwen, mwen fè yo wè jan mwen renmen yo, jan mwen gen bon kè. Mwen defèt baboukèt ki te mare bouch yo a. Mwen bese atè pou m' ba yo manje.
I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
5 Men yo refize tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se poutèt sa yo p'ap tounen nan peyi Lejip la ankò, se moun Lasiri ki va gouvènen yo.
He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
6 Lènmi pral desann sou lavil yo ak nepe nan men yo. Y'ap kraze miray ranpa lavil yo, y'ap detwi pèp mwen an, paske yo fè sa yo pito.
And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
7 Yo vire do ban mwen, yo fin pran pli a nèt. Y'a rele anba chay ki sou zepòl yo a, men pesonn p'ap vin wete l' sou yo.
And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.
8 Nou menm moun Efrayim yo, kouman nou ta vle pou m' lage nou? Nou menm moun Izrayèl yo, kouman nou ta vle pou m' ta detwi nou tankou mwen te detwi lavi Adma? Kouman nou ta vle pou m' ta trete nou tankou mwen te trete lavil Zeboyim yo? Non! Mwen pa gen kè pou m' fè bagay konsa. Tout zantray mwen ap fè mwen mal pou nou.
Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.
9 Mwen p'ap fè sa m' te di mwen t'ap fè lè m' te ankòlè a. Mwen p'ap detwi moun Efrayim yo ankò. Paske se Bondye mwen ye, mwen pa tankou lèzòm. Se yon bondye apa mwen ye. Mwen la avèk nou. Mwen p'ap fè kòlè pou m' vin detwi nou.
I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
10 Y'a pran mache dèyè m' ankò. Lè m'a gwonde tankou yon lyon, y'a tranble kou fèy bwa, y'a kouri kite peyi bò kote solèy kouche a, y'a vin jwenn mwen.
They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
11 Y'a vole tankou zwazo, y'a kouri kite peyi Lejip. Y'a pran zèl tankou toutrèl, y'a kouri kite peyi Lasiri. M'a fè yo tounen vin rete nan peyi yo a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
12 Seyè a di ankò: Moun Efrayim yo kouvri m' anba manti. Moun Izrayèl yo vlope m' ak bèl pawòl. Men, moun peyi Jida yo ap kenbe tèt avè m' toujou, mwen menm Bondye ki toujou kenbe pawòl mwen, mwen menm ki yon Bondye apa!
Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
