< 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 produces his fruit. As his fruit increased, the more altars he built. As his land produced more, he improved his 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 deceitful; now they must bear their guilt. Yahweh will demolish their altars; he will destroy their 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?”
For then they will say, “We have no king, for we did not fear Yahweh, and a king—what could he 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 speak empty words and make covenants by swearing falsely. So justice springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a 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 be afraid because of the calves of Beth Aven. Its people mourned over them, as did those idolatrous priests who had rejoiced over them and their splendor, but they are no longer there.
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.
They will be carried to Assyria as a present for the great king. Ephraim will be disgraced, 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.
Samaria's king will be destroyed, like a chip of wood on the surface of the water.
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 wickedness will be destroyed. This is the sin of Israel! Thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. The people will 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.
“Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah; there you have remained. Will not war overtake the sons of wrong in Gibeah?
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 desire it, I will discipline them. The nations will gather together against them and put them in bonds for their double iniquity.
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 loves to thresh the grain, so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will put a yoke on Ephraim; Judah will plow; Jacob will pull the harrow by 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 righteousness for yourselves, and reap the fruit of covenant faithfulness. Break up your unplowed ground, for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on 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.
You have plowed wickedness; you reaped injustice. You have eaten the fruit of deception because you trusted in your plans and in your many soldiers.
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.
So a tumult of war will rise among your people, and all your fortified cities will be destroyed. It will be as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel on a day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces with 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.
So it will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be completely cut off.”
