Oze 14
1 Tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou non, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo! Se peche nou yo ki te fè nou tonbe.
Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
2 Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a! Men sa pou nou di li: Padonnen tout peche nou yo. Asepte sa n'ap mande ou la a. Nou p'ap ofri ou towo bèf ankò, n'ap fè lwanj ou pito.
Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.
3 Moun Lasiri yo p'ap janm ka sove nou. Nou p'ap mete konfyans nou ankò nan chwal pou fè lagè. Nou p'ap janm gade zidòl nou fè ak men nou pou nou di yo se yo ki bondye nou. Nou rekonèt, Seyè, se ou menm ki gen pitye pou timoun ki san papa.
Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”
4 Seyè a di ankò: -M'ap rale pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò. M'ap renmen yo ak tout kè m'. Mwen p'ap ankòlè sou yo ankò.
I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
5 M'ap tankou lawouze pou moun Izrayèl yo. Yo pral fleri tankou flè nan jaden. Yo pral pouse rasin tankou pyebwa nan peyi Liban.
I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
6 Yo pral boujonnen sou tout kò yo. Y'ap bèl tankou pye oliv. Y'ap santi bon tankou pye sèd peyi Liban.
His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Yo gen pou yo tounen vin rete anba zèl mwen pou m' pwoteje yo. Jaden ble yo pral donnen ankò. Yo pral fleri tankou pye rezen. Non yo ap nan tout bouch tankou bon mak diven yo fè nan peyi Liban.
They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
8 Nou menm moun Izrayèl, konnen mwen pa gen anyen pou mwen wè ak zidòl. Mwen menm m'a reponn yo lè y'ap lapriyè. M'ap okipe yo tankou pye bwapen ki rete toujou vèt, m'ap ba yo lonbraj. Se mwen menm k'ap ba yo tout kalite benediksyon.
Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
9 Se pou moun ki gen konprann chache konprann sa ki ekri la a. Se pou moun ki gen lespri chache konprann li. Paske chemen Bondye se chemen ki dwat. Moun k'ap viv dapre volonte Bondye ap mache ladan l' san anyen p'ap rive yo. Men, moun ki vire do yo bay Bondye ap bite sou wout la.
Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
