Oze 14
1 Retounen, O Israël, kote SENYÈ, Bondye ou a. Paske ou te glise tonbe akoz inikite ou.
O Israel, return to Jehovah thy God, for thou have fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Pran avèk ou menm pawòl yo, pou retounen kote SENYÈ a. Di Li: “Retire tout inikite nou yo, e resevwa nou ak gras Ou, pou nou ka bay ofrann bèf yo kon ve a lèv nou.
Take with you words, and return to Jehovah. Say to him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good. So we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.
3 Assyrie p ap sove nou. Nou p ap monte sou cheval; ni nou p ap di ankò a zèv men nou yo: “Ou se dye nou.” Paske nan Ou, òfelen an twouve mizerikòd.”
Assyria shall not save us. We will not ride upon horses, nor will we say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods. For in thee the fatherless finds mercy.
4 “Mwen va geri enfidelite yo; Mwen va renmen yo an abondans, paske kòlè Mwen fin vire lwen yo.
I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.
5 Mwen va tankou Lawouze pou Israël; li va fleri kon flè lis, e li va anrasine tankou pye sèd a Liban yo.
I will be as the dew to Israel. He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 Boujon li yo va vin pete, e bèlte li va tankou pye doliv etranje a. Li va santi bon kon bèl odè Liban an.
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 Moun yo va rete nan lonbraj li. Yo va reprann fòs tankou sereyal ki jwenn lapli; yo va fleri tankou pye rezen. Y ap fè bon odè tankou diven Liban an.
Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine. The scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 O Éphraïm! Kisa M gen pou fè ankò ak zidòl? Se Mwen menm ki okipe l; Mwen tankou yon pye siprè byen vèt; nan Mwen, tout fwi ou sòti.”
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him. I am like a green fir tree. From me thy fruit is found.
9 Nenpòt moun ki saj, kite li konprann bagay sa yo; Sila ki pridan an, kite li konnen yo. Paske, chemen a SENYÈ yo dwat, e moun ladwati a va mache ladan yo; men transgresè yo va glise tonbe nan yo.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them. But transgressors shall fall therein.
