< Oze 10 >

1 Israël se yon pye rezen byen fètil; li pwodwi fwi pou pwòp tèt li. Selon kantite fwi li te genyen, li te miltipliye lotèl li yo. Selon bonte a peyi yo a, yo te fè pilye sakre.
Israel is a luxuriant vine, That bringeth forth fruit; But according to the abundance of his fruit hath he abounded in altars; According to the goodness of his land hath he made goodly images.
2 Kè yo vin divize. Koulye a, yo gen pou pote pwòp koupabilite yo. SENYÈ a va kraze lotèl yo. Li va detwi pilye sakre yo.
Their heart is divided; now shall they suffer for it; He will break down their altars, And destroy their images.
3 Anverite, koulye a yo va di: “Nou pa gen wa, paske nou pa krent SENYÈ a. Epi wa a, se kisa li ka fè pou nou?”
For soon shall they say, We have no king, Because we fear not Jehovah; What can a king do for us?
4 Se sèlman pawòl ke yo pale, ak fo sèman pou fè akò. Donk jijman yo pete leve tankou zèb k ap anpwazone nan tras chan yo.
They utter empty words, Swearing falsely, making covenants, And now judgment springeth up, as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 Pèp Samarie yo va gen lakrent akoz jenn bèf Beth-Aven nan. Anverite, pèp li a va fè lamantasyon pou li, ak prèt zidòl yo k ap kriye pou li, pou glwa li, akoz sa fin ale kite li nèt.
For the calf of Bethaven shall the inhabitants of Samaria be in fear; Yea, its people shall grieve for it, And its priests shall tremble for it, Because its glory has departed from it.
6 Sa va pote ale osi an Assyrie pou fè omaj a Wa Jareb. Éphraïm va resevwa lawont, e Israël va vin wont de pwòp konsèy li.
It shall be carried to Assyria, As a present to the hostile king. Ephraim shall be covered with confusion, And Israel shall be ashamed of his doings,
7 Pou Samarie, wa li a va vin peri tankou ti bout bwa Ki parèt sou fas dlo.
Samaria shall be brought to destruction; Her king shall be as a twig upon the waters.
8 Anplis, wo plas Aven yo, peche Israël la, va vin detwi. Pikan ak raje va grandi sou lotèl yo. Yo va di a mòn yo: “Kouvri nou!” E a kolin yo: “Vin tonbe sou nou.”
The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed; The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars. And they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! And to the hills, Fall on us!
9 O Israël! Depi nan jou a Guibea yo, ou te peche. Se la yo te kanpe! Ni batay kont fis inikite yo pa t kite yo nan Guibea.
More than in the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel! There they stood; The battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 Lè se volonte Mwen, Mwen va bay yo chatiman. Konsa, pèp yo va vin rasanble kont yo lè yo mare nèt nan koupabilite doub yo.
Now will I chastise them according to my pleasure, And the nations shall be gathered together against them, When I shall bind them for their two iniquities.
11 Éphraïm se yon gazèl bèf byen antrene ki renmen foule grenn nan, men Mwen va pase jouk la sou bèl kou li a. Mwen va mete yon kavalye sou Éphraïm. Juda va raboure. Jacob va repase pou kraze bol tè a.
Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out the corn; But I will lay the yoke upon her fair neck; I will cause Ephraim to draw, Judah shall plough, Jacob shall harrow.
12 Simen a nou menm anvè ladwati, rekòlte selon ladousè. Fann tè ki poze ou a; se lè pou chache SENYÈ a jis lè Li vin vide ladwati sou nou.
Sow for yourselves to righteousness, and ye shall reap according to your piety; Break up your fallow ground; For it is a time to seek Jehovah, Till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Nou te raboure mechanste; nou te rekòlte lenjistis. Nou te manje fwi manti a, akoz nou te mete konfyans nou nan chemen nou, nan fòs kantite gèrye pisan nou yo.
Ye plough wickedness, ye shall reap injustice; Ye shall eat the fruit of falsehood. Because thou trustest in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men,
14 Akoz sa, yon gran gè va leve pami pèp nou an e tout fòterès nou yo va detwi, tankou Schalman te detwi Beth-Arbel nan jou batay la, lè manman an te kraze an mòso ak pitit li yo.
There shall arise a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Betharbel in the day of battle, When the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
15 Konsa li va ye pou nou menm nan Bétel akoz gwo Mechanste nou yo. Bonè nan maten, wa Israël la va vin detwi nèt.
Such things shall Bethel bring upon you Because of your great wickedness. In the morning shall the king of Israel be destroyed.
