< Oze 2 >
1 Se konsa n'a rele frè nou yo moun Bondye. N'a rele sè nou yo moun Bondye gen pitye pou yo.
“Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
2 Pitit mwen yo, pale ak manman nou. Paske li pa madanm mwen ankò. Mwen pa mari l' non plis. Pale avè l' pou l' sispann sèvi tankou jennès, pou l' wete nan kòsaj li bann zidòl li renmen anpil yo.
Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.
3 Si li pa fè sa, m'ap dezabiye l' nèt, pou l' rete toutouni jan manman l' te fè l'. M'ap fè l' tounen tankou tè sèk ki pa jwenn lapli. M'ap fè l' mouri swaf dlo.
Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.
4 Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou pitit li yo non plis. Paske yo se pitit yon fanm ki nan jennès.
And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
5 Manman yo lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Wi, li menm ki te pote yo nan vant li, li avili tèt li, paske l'ap di: mwen pral jwenn nonm mwen yo. Yo ban m' tou sa m' bezwen. Yo ban m' manje, yo ban m' bwè. Yo ban m' twal lenn ak twal fen. Yo ban m' lwil oliv, yo ban m' diven pou m' bwè.
For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Se poutèt sa mwen pral fèmen l' nan mitan yon lantouraj pikan. Mwen pral moute yon gwo miray fè wonn li. Konsa li p'ap ka mete pye l' deyò.
Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
7 L'a chache mwayen pou li al kouri dèyè nonm li yo, men li p'ap ka rive jwenn yo. L'a chache yo toupatou, men li p'ap jwenn yo. Lè sa a, l'a di: M'ap tounen vin jwenn premye mari mwen an, paske avè l' zafè m' te pi bon pase koulye a.
And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is now.’
8 Pèp Izrayèl la pa t' rekonèt se mwen menm ki te ba li farin, diven ak lwil. Ata lò ak ajan, se mwen ki te ba li yo an kantite. Men, li pran yo pou fè sèvis Baal.
And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into Baal.
9 Se poutèt sa, lè sezon rekòt la rive, m'ap reprann farin ak diven mwen te ba li a. M'ap reprann twal lenn ak twal fin mwen te ba li pou fè rad met sou li.
For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
10 M'ap kite l' toutouni devan tout nonm li yo. Pesonn p'ap ka vin sove l' anba men mwen.
And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
11 Mwen pral fè l' sispann gen kè kontan. Mwen pral sispann tout fèt li yo, fèt lalin nouvèl li yo, fèt repo l' yo ak gwo fèt li fete chak lanne yo.
And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
12 Kanta jaden rezen ak pye fig frans li yo, li di se nonm li yo ki te ba li yo. Enben, m'ap ravaje sa. M'ap fè yo tounen raje, bèt nan bwa va devore yo.
And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
13 Mwen pral pini l' pou tout tan li te bliye m' lan, lè li t'ap boule lansan devan Baal yo, lè li t'ap mete zanno ak kolye pou l' te ka kouri dèyè nonm li yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me,” says the Lord.
14 Se poutèt sa, mwen pral mennen l' nan dezè a ankò. Mwen pral pale dous avè l', pou l' ka tounen vin jwenn mwen.
“Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
15 M'a ba li jaden rezen li te gen anvan yo. M'a fè sa ki te rive l' nan Fon Malè a tounen yon okazyon pou l' jwenn sa li t'ap tann lan. L'a reponn mwen menm jan li te fè l' lè li te jenn lan, lè l' te chape anba men moun peyi Lejip yo.
And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.
16 Jou sa a, l'a rele m' mari l', li p'ap rele m' Baal li ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di sa.
And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
17 Mwen p'ap janm kite non Baal yo soti nan bouch li, li p'ap janm nonmen non yo ankò.
And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
18 Lè sa a, m'a pase yon kontra avèk tout zannimo nan savann ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la ak tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant pou yo pa fè pèp la anyen. M'ap kraze banza ak nepe pou yo pa fè lagè ankò nan peyi a, pou moun ka kouche dòmi ak kè poze san danje.
And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
19 Izrayèl, m'ap pran angajman pou m' viv avè ou pou tout tan, m'ap toujou respekte ou, m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen avè ou. M'ap toujou renmen ou, m'ap toujou gen pitye pou ou.
And I will betroth you to me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion.
20 M'ap kenbe pwomès mwen, w'ap pou mwen nèt. Konsa, w'a konnen ki moun mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ye.
And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.
21 Jou sa a, m'a reponn lapriyè tout moun. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap fè lapli soti nan syèl tonbe sou latè.
And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth.
22 Tè a va bay manje, diven ak lwil. Se konsa m'a reponn lapriyè moun Jizreyèl yo.
And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
23 M'ap fè yo peple nan peyi a. M'a gen pitye pou moun mwen te meprize yo. M'a pale ak moun ki pa moun pa m' yo, m'a di yo: Se pèp mwen nou ye. Yo menm, y'a reponn: Wi, se Bondye nou ou ye.
And I will plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
