< Oze 12 >
1 Éphraïm manje sou van, e kouri dèyè van lès la. Li kontinye ap ogmante nan manti ak vyolans. Anplis, li fè yon akò ak Assyrie e lwil vin pote an Égypte.
Effraym fedith wynd, and sueth heete. Al dai he multiplieth leesyng, and distriyng; and he made boond of pees with Assiriens, and bar oile in to Egipt.
2 Plis toujou, SENYÈ a gen yon kont ak Juda e Li va pini Jacob selon chemen li yo. Li va rekonpanse li selon zak li yo.
Therfor the doom of the Lord is with Juda, and visityng is on Jacob; bi the weies of hym, and bi the fyndyngis of hym he schal yelde to hym.
3 Nan vant manman, li te kenbe frè l pa talon; epi lè l fin grandi, li te lite ak Bondye.
In the wombe he supplauntide his brother, and in his strengthe he was dressid with the aungel.
4 Wi, li te lite ak zanj lan, e li te enpoze l; li te kriye e li te chache favè li. Li te jwenn Li Béthel, e se la, Li te pale ak nou.
And he was strong to the aungel, and was coumfortid; he wepte, and preiede hym; in Bethel he foond hym, and there he spak with vs.
5 Menm SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, SENYÈ a se non Li!
And the Lord God of oostis, the Lord, is the memorial of hym.
6 Pou sa, retounen kote Bondye ou a, Swiv ladousè ak lajistis, e tann Bondye ou a tout tan.
And thou schalt turne to thi God. Kepe thou merci and doom, and hope thou euere in thi God.
7 Men yon machann, ak fo balans lan nan men l. Li renmen twonpe moun.
Chanaan louyde fals caleng, a gileful balaunce in his hond.
8 Éphraïm te di: “Anverite, mwen gen tan vin rich. Mwen te twouve richès mwen pou kont mwen; Nan tout zèv mwen yo, yo p ap dekouvri okenn inikite, ki ta peche.”
And Effraym seide, Netheles Y am maad riche, Y haue founde an idol to me; alle my trauelis schulen not fynde to me the wickidnesse, whiche Y synnede.
9 Men Mwen menm, SENYÈ Bondye ou, depi nan peyi Égypte la, va fè ou viv nan tant ankò, tankou nan jou fèt deziye yo.
And Y am thi Lord God fro the lond of Egipt; yit Y schal make thee to sitte in tabernaclis, as in the daies of feeste.
10 Anplis, Mwen te pale ak pwofèt yo e mwen te miltipliye vizyon yo; epi selon ministè pwofèt yo, mwen te sèvi parabòl.
And Y spak bi profetis, and Y multiplied profesie, and Y was licned in the hond of profetis.
11 Èske gen inikite nan Galaad? Anverite, yo tout san valè. Nan Guilgal, yo fè sakrifis towo; wi lotèl pa yo tankou pil wòch nan mitan chan.
If Galaad worschipith an idol, therfor thei erren in veyn offryng to oxis in Galgal; for whi and the auteris of hem schulen be as heepis on the forewis of the feeld.
12 Alò, Jacob te sove ale nan peyi Aram, Israël te travay pou resevwa yon madanm. Pou yon madanm, li te fè gadyen mouton.
Jacob fledde in to the cuntrei of Sirie, and Israel seruyde for a wijf, and seruyde, ether kepte, for a wijf.
13 Epi pa yon pwofèt, SENYÈ a te mennen Israël sòti an Égypte. Pa yon pwofèt, li te vin prezève.
But bi a profete the Lord ledde Israel out of Egipt, and bi a profete he was kept.
14 Éphraïm te pwovoke gwo kòlè amè. Akoz sa, Senyè li va kite san li koule sou li, e fè repwòch li tounen sou li.
Effraym terride me to wrathfulnesse in hise bitternessis, and the blood of hym schal come on hym; and his Lord schal restore to hym the schenschipe of him.
