Oze 14
1 Retounen, O Israël, kote SENYÈ, Bondye ou a. Paske ou te glise tonbe akoz inikite ou.
Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; for the people have fallen through thine iniquities.
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 turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that ye may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that ye may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit 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.”
Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in thee shall pity the orphan.
4 “Mwen va geri enfidelite yo; Mwen va renmen yo an abondans, paske kòlè Mwen fin vire lwen yo.
I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath 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 dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
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 he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
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 shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
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.”
What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper 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, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
