Oze 2
1 “Di a frè ou a ‘Pèp mwen yo’! Epi a sè ou yo, ‘Byen ame mwen an!’
Say ye unto your brethren, 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;
Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries 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.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst;
4 Anplis, Mwen p ap fè mizerikòd sou pitit li yo, akoz yo se pitit a pwostitiye.
Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they be children of whoredom.
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 hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
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.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a fence against her, that she shall not find her paths.
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 she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with 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 did not know that I gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for 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.
Therefore will I take back my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
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 will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine 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.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
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 lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
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 visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense; when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
14 Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen va atire li mennen li antre nan dezè a pou pale dous avèk li.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto 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 her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day 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 it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more 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 Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
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 will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
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 betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 Epi Mwen va fè ou renmen M nan fidelite. Nan lè sa a, ou va konnen SENYÈ a.
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know 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 shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
22 Epi Latè va reponn a sereyal la, diven nèf ak lwil la; epi yo va reponn a Jizreel.
and the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer 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 wilt sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
