Oze 2
1 “Di a frè ou a ‘Pèp mwen yo’! Epi a sè ou yo, ‘Byen ame mwen an!’
Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Rebike manman ou! Rebike, paske li pa madanm mwen; ni mwen pa mari li. Kite li retire pwostitisyon li yo devan figi li, ak adiltè li yo soti antre tete li yo;
Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
3 sinon M ta chire retire tout rad li pou fè l parèt toutouni menm jan ak jou li te fèt la; pou fè l vin tankou yon peyi dezè e touye li ak swaf.
For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.
4 Anplis, Mwen p ap fè mizerikòd sou pitit li yo, akoz yo se pitit a pwostitiye.
And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
5 Paske manman yo te fè pwostitisyon. Li ki te fè yo aji san wont, paske li te di: ‘Mwen va swiv moun ki renmen mwen yo, ki ban m pen ak dlo mwen, lenn ak len mwen, lwil ak bwason mwen.’
For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
6 Akoz sa, Mwen va fè monte yon kloti pikan, e Mwen va bati yon mi kont li pou l pa ka twouve ti wout li yo.
For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
7 Li va kouri dèyè moun ki renmen li yo, men li p ap ka rive sou yo. Li va chache yo, men li p ap jwenn yo. Konsa li va di: ‘M ap prale retounen kote premye mari Mwen an, paske lè sa a te pi bon pou mwen pase koulye a.’
And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
8 Paske li pa t konnen ke se te Mwen ki te bay li sereyal la, diven nèf ak lwil la, e ki te bay li anpil lò ak ajan ke yo te fè sèvi pou Baal yo.
For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
9 Akoz sa, Mwen va reprann sereyal Mwen an nan lè rekòlt la ak diven Mwen an nan sezon li an. Mwen va, anplis, retire lenn Mwen an ak len Ki te pou kouvri pou li pa t toutouni an.
So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
10 Konsa, Mwen va dekouvri wont li devan zye a tout moun ki renmen li yo, e pèsòn p ap mande fè l soti nan men Mwen.
And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
11 Anplis, Mwen va mete fen a tout kè kontan l; fèt li yo, nouvèl lin li yo, Saba a, ak tout Gwo rasanbleman fèt li yo.
And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
12 Mwen va detwi pye rezen li yo ansanm ak pye fig fwi etranje yo selon sila li te di: ‘Sa yo se salè mwen, ke moun ki renmen m yo te ban mwen.’ Mwen va fè yo tounen yon rakbwa, e bèt chan va devore yo.
And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.
13 Mwen va pini li pou jou Baal yo, kote li te brile lasan nan, lè l te abiye tèt li ak zanno ak bijou yo, pou l swiv moun ki renmen li yo, epi tebliye Mwen” deklare SENYÈ a.
And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
14 Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen va atire li mennen li antre nan dezè a pou pale dous avèk li.
For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.
15 Epi soti la, Mwen va bay li chan rezen yo, ak Vale Akò a kon yon pòt espwa. Li va reponn la tankou nan jou jenès li yo, tankou nan jou lè l te vin monte soti nan peyi Égypte la.
And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ a, “ke ou va rele Mwen: ‘Mari mwen’ e ou p ap rele M ankò: ‘Met mwen’.
And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;
17 Paske Mwen va retire non a Baal yo soti nan bouch li, pou yo pa nonmen pa non yo ankò.
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.
18 Nan jou sa a, anplis, Mwen va fè yon Akò pou yo ak bèt chan yo, zwazo syèl yo ak sa ki trennen atè yo. Mwen va aboli banza, nepe ak lagè soti nant peyi a, e Mwen va fè yo kouche dòmi ansekirite.
And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
19 Mwen va fè ou vin renmen M jis pou tout tan. Wi, Mwen va fè ou vin renmen M nan ladwati ak lajistis, nan lanmou dous ak konpasyon.
And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.
20 Epi Mwen va fè ou renmen M nan fidelite. Nan lè sa a, ou va konnen SENYÈ a.
I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
21 “Li va vin rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va reponn”, deklare SENYÈ a. “Mwen va reponn a syèl yo, e yo va reponn a tè a.
And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;
22 Epi Latè va reponn a sereyal la, diven nèf ak lwil la; epi yo va reponn a Jizreel.
And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;
23 Mwen va simen li kote M nan tè a, Mwen va genyen mizerikòd pou li, fi ki pa t konn jwenn mizerikòd la. Konsa, Mwen va di a sila ki pa t pèp Mwen an: ‘Ou se pèp Mwen an!’ Epi yo va reponn: ‘Ou se Bondye mwen!’”
And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
