Oze 14
1 Retounen, O Israël, kote SENYÈ, Bondye ou a. Paske ou te glise tonbe akoz inikite ou.
O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast 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 unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we 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; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth 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 mine 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 unto 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.
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive [as] the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof 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 is thy fruit 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.
