Oze 11
1 Lè Israël te yon timoun, Mwen te renmen l; epi soti nan Égypte, Mwen te rele fis mwen an.
When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Plis pwofèt yo te rele yo, plis yo te kouri kite yo. Yo te kontinye fè sakrifis bay Baal yo, e brile lansan bay zidòl yo.
[As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Malgre sa, se te Mwen ki te montre Éphraïm jan pou l mache. Nan bra M, Mwen te pran yo; men yo pa t konnen ke Mwen te geri yo.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Mwen te mennen yo ak kòd a yon nonm, ak lyann lanmou. Konsa, Mwen te vini pou yo kon sila ki retire jouk la sòti nan kou yo. Mwen te bese mete manje devan yo.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5 Yo p ap retounen nan peyi Égypte, men Wa Assyrie a va vin wa yo, akoz yo te refize retounen kote Mwen.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Nepe va tonbe kont vil yo, pou kraze pòtay ak fè fòje yo, e li va fè tout plan yo disparèt.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
7 Pèp Mwen an fè desizyon nèt pou vire kite Mwen. Malgre yo rele yo vè Sila ki Pi Wo a, anverite, yo p ap egzalte.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
8 Kòman Mwen ta kapab lage ou, O Éphraïm? Kòman Mwen ta kapab kite ou ale, O Israël? Kòman Mwen ta kapab fè ou tankou Adma? Kòman Mwen ta kapab aji avèk ou tankou Tseboïm? Kè M vire nèt anndan M; konpasyon Mwen vin anflame.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Mwen p ap egzekite chalè kòlè Mwen; Mwen p ap detwi Éphraïm ankò. Paske se Bondye Mwen ye, Mwen pa lòm; Sila Ki Sen nan mitan nou an e Mwen p ap antre nan kòlè.
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Yo va mache dèyè SENYÈ a, Li va gwonde kon yon lyon; Anverite, Li va gwonde, e fis li yo va vini, ap tranble soti nan lwès.
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Yo va vini tranblan tankou zwazo, soti an Égypte, e kon toutrèl soti nan peyi Assyrie; epi Mwen va plase yo nan kay pa yo, deklare SENYÈ a.
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
12 Éphraïm antoure Mwen ak manti, e lakay Israël ak desepsyon. Men anplis, Juda toujou egare, kont Bondye, li pa fidèl a Sila Ki Sen an.
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
