Oze 6
1 Pèp la di: -Annou wè non! Ann tounen al jwenn Seyè a! Se li menm ki blese nou, se li menm ankò ki ka geri nou! Se li ki mete san nou deyò, se li ki ka mete renmèd sou malenng nou yo.
In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us return to the Lord:
2 Apre de jou, l'a ban nou lavi ankò. Sou twazyèm jou a, l'a fè nou kanpe ankò, n'a viv ankò devan je l'.
For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he will cure us.
3 N'a konnen Seyè a, n'a toujou chache konnen Seyè a pi byen. Tankou nou sèten solèy la gen pou l' leve, konsa tou nou sèten n'ap jwenn li. Tankou nou sèten lapli gen pou l' wouze latè lè sezon l' rive, konsa tou nou sèten l'ap vin jwenn nou.
He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
4 Seyè a di: -Nou menm moun Efrayim, kisa pou m' fè ak nou? Nou menm moun Jida, kisa pou m' fè ak nou? Nou renmen m', se vre. Men se pou yon ti tan. Ou ta di yon ti nwaj ki pase anvan solèy leve. Wi, tankou lawouze ki disparèt anvan solèy fin leve.
What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.
5 Se poutèt sa mwen voye pwofèt mwen yo pou manyè pini nou. Mwen mete pawòl nan bouch yo ki ta kont pou touye nou. Mwen fè nou konnen sa mwen vle nou fè, mwen mete l' aklè devan nou.
For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
6 Mwen ta pito wè nou renmen m' tout bon pase pou n'ap fè tout ofrann bèt sa yo ban mwen. Mwen ta pito wè nou chache konnen m' vre, mwen menm Bondye nou an, pase pou n'ap boule tout bèt sa yo pou mwen.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Men, yo menm, rive yo rive Adam, yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Lamenm, yo vire do ban mwen, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Galarad se yon lavil ki plen moun k'ap fè mechanste. Kote ou pase, se mak san moun yo touye.
Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.
9 Prèt yo menm, se tankou yon bann ansasen k'ap veye moun sou granchemen. Sou tout wout ki mennen lavil Sichèm, se touye y'ap touye moun. Yo konnen byen pwòp tou sa y'ap fè a mal. Atousa yo fè l'.
And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness.
10 Mwen wè yo fè nan peyi Izrayèl la yon bagay ki fè m' tranble: Moun Efrayim yo lage kò yo nan sèvi zidòl. Moun Izrayèl yo ap fè bagay ki mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.
11 Men, pou nou menm tou, moun peyi Jida, mwen fikse yon jou pou pini nou pou tou sa nou fè, lè m'a fè moun yo depòte yo tounen nan peyi yo.
And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back captivity of my people.
