Oze 11
1 Lè Israël te yon timoun, Mwen te renmen l; epi soti nan Égypte, Mwen te rele fis mwen an.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
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 I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt 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.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; 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.
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
5 Yo p ap retounen nan peyi Égypte, men Wa Assyrie a va vin wa yo, akoz yo te refize retounen kote Mwen.
Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
6 Nepe va tonbe kont vil yo, pou kraze pòtay ak fè fòje yo, e li va fè tout plan yo disparèt.
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
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 his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all 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 deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
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 act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: 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.
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
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 be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says 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 has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
