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, 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.
But they turned away from those that called them. They sacrificed to images of Baal; They burned incense to idols.
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 helped Ephraim to go, Yea, I took them up in my arms; Yet they marked 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 human cords, with bands of love; I was to them as those who lift up the yoke from their jaws; I dealt gently with them, and gave them food.
5 Yo p ap retounen nan peyi Égypte, men Wa Assyrie a va vin wa yo, akoz yo te refize retounen kote Mwen.
They shall no more go down to Egypt; For the Assyrian shall be their king, Because they refuse to return to me.
6 Nepe va tonbe kont vil yo, pou kraze pòtay ak fè fòje yo, e li va fè tout plan yo disparèt.
The sword shall fall upon their cities, It shall consume their bars, and devour Because of their 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.
For my people persevere in turning away from me; Though they are called to the Most High, None will 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 abandon thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is changed within me; Yea, my compassion is kindled.
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 again destroy Ephraim; For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in the midst of thee, And I will not come in anger.
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 Jehovah, when he shall roar like a lion, When he shall roar, then shall their sons hasten 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 hasten as a bird from Egypt, And as a dove from the land of Assyria, And I will place them in their houses, saith Jehovah.
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 falsehood, And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah also is inconstant toward God, Toward the holy and faithful one.
