Oze 13
1 Nan tan lontan, lè moun Efrayim yo te pale, tout moun te pran tranble. Yo te rive chèf sou tout lòt branch fanmi Izrayèl la. Men, y' al fè sa ki mal. Y' al adore Baal. Se poutèt sa yo pèdi pye.
When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.
2 Jouk koulye a, y'ap fè peche toujou. Y'ap pran kwiv, y'ap fonn li pou fè estati zidòl. Y'ap fè bèl zidòl an ajan jan yo konnen. Tou sa se travay atizan fè ak men yo. Apre sa yo di: Ann ofri bèt pou touye ba yo! Koulye a nou wè se moun k'ap bo estati bèf!
And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves.
3 Konsa, moun sa yo ap disparèt tankou yon vapè ki leve granmaten, tankou lawouze lè solèy fin leve. Y'ap tankou pay van an ap leve soti sou glasi. Y'ap tankou lafimen k'ap soti nan yon fetay kizin.
Therefore they shall be as a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Seyè a di ankò: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye ou la. Se mwen menm ki te fè soti kite peyi Lejip. Ou pa konn lòt bondye pase mwen menm. Se mwen menm ase ki ka sove ou.
But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
5 Mwen te okipe ou lè ou te nan dezè a, nan peyi ki pa gen dlo menm lan.
I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
6 Men, lè yo rive nan peyi ki gen bon tè a, yo manje plen vant yo, lògèy vire tèt yo, se konsa yo bliye m'.
According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
7 Se poutèt sa, m'ap tonbe sou yo tankou yon lyon. Tankou yon leyopa, mwen pral anbiske kò m' sou wout yo ap tann yo.
And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
8 M'ap tonbe sou yo tankou yon manman lous yo pran pitit li. M'ap dechire yo. M'ap devore yo lamenm tankou yon fenmèl lyon. M'ap dechire yo tankou yon bèt nan bwa.
I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
9 M'ap detwi nou, nou menm pèp Izrayèl la, paske nou vire sou do mwen, mwen menm ki tout sekou nou.
Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
10 Nou te mande pou yo ban nou yon wa ansanm ak lòt chèf. Men, kote wa ki pou te sove nou an? Kote tout chèf ki pou te defann nou yo?
Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.
11 Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te ban nou wa a. Men, apre sa, nou fè m' fache pi rèd, mwen wete l' nan mitan nou.
I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.
12 Mwen make tou sa Efrayim fè ki mal sou papye. Mwen sere l' byen lwen.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.
13 Nan tout malè sa a, Efrayim te gen yon chans ankò pou l' ta sove. Men, li twò sòt, l'ap pèdi chans lan. Se tankou yon ti bebe ki rive sou dat pou l' fèt men ki pa vle soti nan vant manman l'.
The sorrows of a woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
14 Mwen p'ap sove pèp la anba lanmò. Mwen p'ap anpeche yo desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Annavan, lanmò! Vini ak tout malè ou yo! Nou menm ki chèf nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, vin detwi pèp la. Mwen p'ap janm gen pitye pou pèp sa a ankò. (Sheol h7585)
I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Menm si Izrayèl ta fleri tankou wozo bò dlo, m'ap fè yon van leve nan dezè kote solèy leve a, m'ap fè l' vante sou li, l'ap cheche tout sous dlo ak tout fontenn li yo. L'ap pran tout bagay ki gen valè nan byen l' yo, l'ap pote yo ale.
Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
16 Peyi Samari a pral peye pou sa l' fè a, paske li te leve sou do Bondye li a. Yo pral mouri nan lagè. Y'ap pran pitit yo, y'ap kraze yo atè, y'ap fann vant fanm ansent yo.
Let Samaria perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
