< Oze 9 >

1 Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, pa fè kè nou kontan! Sispann fè fèt tankou moun lòt nasyon yo. Nou vire do bay Bondye nou an, nou pa kenbe pawòl nou te gen avè l' la. Tankou fanm ki nan dezòd, nou kouche kote nou jwenn glasi pou ti grenn yo fè nou kado.
Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
2 Men, talè konsa, nou p'ap gen kont farin, ni kont lwil pou nou sèvi. Kanta pou diven, nou p'ap jwenn sa menm.
The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
3 Pèp Izrayèl la p'ap rete nan peyi Seyè a. Moun Efrayim yo ap tounen peyi Lejip ankò. Yo pral manje nan peyi Lasiri manje yo pa te gen dwa manje.
They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
4 Lè sa a, yo p'ap ka ofri diven bay Seyè a, ni yo p'ap ka fè okenn ofrann bèt ki pou ta fè l' plezi. Tout manje yo ap tankou manje yo bay nan veye. Tout moun ki manje manje sa yo p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Manje a va sèvi pou plen vant yo ase. Yo p'ap ka pran ladan l' pou ofri bay Seyè a nan tanp li a.
They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 Kisa y'a fè menm lè gwo jou a, lè jou pou yo fè fèt pou Seyè a va rive?
What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Men malè tonbe sou yo, yo leve, yo pati. Moun peyi Lejip yo ap ranmase yo, y'ap antere yo nan lavil Menmfis. Raje pral pouse tout kote yo te konn mete richès yo. Pikan pral anvayi tout kote yo te moute kay yo.
For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
7 Jou pou yo pini nou an rive. Wi, lè pou yo ban nou sa nou merite a pral rive. Lè sa a, moun peyi Izrayèl yo va konprann sa k'ap rive yo a. Y'ap plede di: Pwofèt sa a pèdi tèt li. Nonm ki gen lespri Bondye moute l' la pa konn sa l'ap di. Men se paske yo fè gwo peche, se paske yo vire do bay Bondye kifè sa rive yo.
The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
8 Bondye voye m' tankou yon pwofèt pou m' avèti moun Izrayèl yo, pèp li a. Men tout kote m' pase, yo pare pèlen pou yo pran m' tankou yon zwazo. Menm nan pwòp kay Bondye a, yo pa vle wè m'.
The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
9 Yo lage kò yo nèt nan fè sa ki mal, tankou yo te fè l' lavi Gibeya. Bondye va chonje jan yo mechan, l'a pini yo pou tout peche yo fè.
They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
10 Seyè a di: Lè m' te fèk jwenn pèp Izrayèl la, se te tankou si m' te jwenn yon grap rezen nan mitan yon dezè. Lè m' te fèk wè zansèt nou yo, se te tankou si m' te wè premye fig frans ki mi nan rekòt fig la. Men, lè yo rive Baal-Peyò yo lage kò yo nan sèvi Baal. Yo fè m' vin rayi yo, tankou mwen rayi zidòl yo te renmen yo.
I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
11 Sa ki te yon lwanj pou pèp Efrayim lan ap vole ale tankou zwazo. Yo p'ap fè pitit, madanm yo p'ap gwovant, madanm yo p'ap menm ansent.
Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
12 Menm si yo rive fè pitit, mwen p'ap kite yo fin grandi. Lè m' vire do ba yo, malè ap rive yo.
Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
13 Mwen fè yon vizyon, mwen wè pitit gason moun Izrayèl yo nan yon bèl jaden, epi se moun Izrayèl yo menm ki t'ap mennen yo bay ansasen.
Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
14 Seyè! Kisa m' ta mande ou fè pou yo? Fè madanm yo toujou an pèdisyon? Fè yo pa gen lèt pou bay pitit yo tete?
O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
15 Seyè a di konsa: Mechanste pèp la konmanse depi nan peyi Gilgal. Se la menm mwen konmanse rayi yo. Yo fè twòp move zak. Se poutèt sa, m'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi mwen an. Mwen p'ap renmen yo ankò, paske tout chèf yo se yon bann wòklò.
All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
16 Peyi Efrayim lan tankou yon pyebwa ki pa ka donnen ankò. Rasin li yo fin cheche. Yo p'ap fè pitit. Menm si yo rive fè pitit, m'ap touye pitit yo pi renmen yo.
Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
17 Bondye m'ap sèvi a ap voye yo jete, paske yo pa t' koute li. Yo pral mache pwomennen san rete nan mitan nasyon yo.
My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
