< 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.
A luxuriant vine is Israel. He bore fruit lavishly. In proportion to the increase of his fruit he increased altars to idols. In proportion to the beauty of his land he made beautiful the sacred pillars.
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 false, now they must be punished. God himself will break the necks of their altars, he will destroy their sacred pillars.
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?”
Yes, soon they will be saying, ‘We have no king, for we have not revered the Lord, and a king, what could he do for us anyway?’
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.
Speaking words, perjuring themselves, making agreements, and litigation springs up like a poisonous weed in a ploughed 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.
The inhabitants of Samaria will tremble with fear for their calf of Beth-aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its priests, who had rejoiced for its glory, now 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 will be carried off to Assyria as a present to the patron king. Disgrace will Ephraim bear and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 Pou Samarie, wa li a va vin peri tankou ti bout bwa Ki parèt sou fas dlo.
As for Samaria, her king will disappear, like foam on the face of 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.”
And the high places of Aven will be destroyed, the shrines of Israel’s sin, thorns and thistles will grow on their altars, and they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall upon 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.
From the time of Gibeah, Israel has sinned. There they took their stand. Will not war overtake them in Gibeah because of the wicked?
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.
When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes.
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 indeed was a trained heifer that loved to thresh grain, and I myself laid a yoke upon his fair neck, I made Ephraim draw and Judah must plough, Jacob must turn the soil for himself.
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 righteousness, reap the fruits of love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, so righteousness may come to 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.
But you have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have you reaped. You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own path, in the multitude of your warriors,
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.
the alarm of war will sound in your cities and all your fortresses will be ruined, as Shalman laid in ruins Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces over their 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.
Thus will I do to you, Bethel, because of the enormity of your wickedness. When dawn breaks, so will the king of Israel be broken.
