Oze 8
1 Kònen klewon an! Malè ap fonn sou peyi Bondye a tankou malfini, paske moun yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo vire kont sa mwen te moutre yo a.
[Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. [He shall come] as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Ou mèt tande yo di m': Ou se Bondye nou. Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, nou konnen ki moun ou ye!
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
3 yo pa vle wè sa ki bon. Se poutèt sa lènmi gen pou leve dèyè yo.
Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Yo rete yo chwazi wa mete alatèt yo, san mande m' si mwen dakò. Yo mete moun chèf san m' pa janm konnen. Yo pran lò ak ajan yo genyen, yo fè zidòl. Se sa k'ap fini ak yo a.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Mwen pa ka sipòte estati towo bèf moun Samari yo ap adore a. Se konsa mwen fè kòlè, mwen fache anpil sou yo. Kilè y'a sispann sèvi zidòl?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; my anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocence?
6 Se yon atizan peyi Izrayèl ki te fè zidòl la. Zidòl sa a, se pa ka yon bondye li ye. Estati towo bèf moun Samari yo, m'ap kraze l' an miyèt moso.
For from Israel [was] it also: the workman made it; therefore it [is] not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Depi pèp la simen van, se move tan pou yo rekòlte. Yo tankou yon jaden ble ki pa jete grap, ki p'ap bay farin. Menm si li bay farin, se moun lòt nasyon k'ap vin manje tout.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Pèp Izrayèl la fini nèt. Nan je lòt nasyon yo, li tankou yon vye kannari kraze ki pa vo anyen.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which [is] no pleasure.
9 Tankou yon bourik endont, moun Efrayim yo ap fè sa yo pito. Yo moute peyi Lasiri al mande konkou. Tankou fanm k'ap achte gason, yo bay lòt nasyon lajan pou pwoteje yo.
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Atout yo bay lòt nasyon yo kado, koulye a mwen pral mete yo tout nan menm sak pou m' pini yo. Talè konsa, yo pral nan lapenn lè wa Lasiri a va pran peze yo tout.
Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Atout moun Efrayim yo bati lotèl toupatou pou wete peche, se menm lotèl sa yo ki fè yo tonbe pi rèd nan peche.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 Atout m' ekri pou yo anpil regleman sou lalwa mwen ba yo a, yo pran regleman yo pou bagay ki pa pou yo.
I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Yo renmen fè ofrann bèt. Yo touye bèt yo ofri yo epi yo manje vyann lan. Men, mwen menm, Seyè a, se pa sa ki fè m' plezi. Koulye a mwen chonje tout peche yo fè, m'ap pini yo pou sa. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi Lejip.
They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat [it]; [but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Moun Izrayèl yo bliye moun ki te fè yo a. Y'ap bati gwo palè. Moun Jida yo menm ap bati gwo lavil ak miray ranpa pou pwoteje yo. Men mwen menm, m'ap voye dife nan lavil yo. Dife a ap boule tout palè yo ak tout gwo kay yo.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
