< Oze 4 >
1 Koute pawòl SENYÈ a, O fis a Israël yo, paske SENYÈ a gen yon pwose kont pèp peyi a: Anverite, nanpwen fidelite, ni dousè, ni konesans Bondye nan peyi a.
Sones of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord, for whi doom is to the Lord with the dwelleris of erthe; for whi trewthe is not, and merci is not, and kunnyng of the Lord is not in erthe.
2 Gen joure ak madichon, vyole konfyans, asasine moun, vòlè, fè adiltè. Yo aji ak vyolans jiskaske yo vèse san, e vèse san fè san vèse plis.
Curs, and leesyng, and manquelling, and thefte, and auowtrie flowiden, and blood touchide blood.
3 Akoz sa, peyi a va fè dèy. Tout moun ki rete ladann ap megri menm ak tout sa ki viv. Menm bèt chan yo ak zwazo syèl yo, epi pwason lanmè yo va mouri.
For this thing the erthe schal mourne, and ech that dwellith in that lond, schal be sijk, in the beeste of the feeld, and in the brid of the eir; but also the fischis of the see schulen be gaderid togidere.
4 Malgre sa, pa kite okenn moun pote akizasyon, ni okenn moun vin repwoche; paske pèp nou an se tankou sila ki fè kont ak prèt yo.
Netheles ech man deme not, and a man be not repreuyd; for thi puple is as thei that ayen seien the prest.
5 Konsa, nou va glise tonbe nan lajounen e menm pwofèt la va glise tonbe avèk nou nan lannwit. Epi Mwen va detwi manman ou.
And thou schalt falle to dai, and the profete also schal falle with thee; in the niyt Y made thi modir to be stille.
6 Pèp Mwen an detwi akoz mank konesans. Akoz ou te rejte konesans, Mwen menm tou, Mwen va rejte ou. Ou p ap ka fè prèt pou Mwen, akoz ou te bliye lalwa Bondye. Konsa, Mwen menm tou, Mwen ap bliye pitit nou yo.
My puple was stille, for it hadde not kunnyng; for thou hast putte awei kunnyng, Y schal putte thee awei, that thou vse not presthod to me; and for thou hast foryete the lawe of thi God, also Y schal foryete thi sones.
7 Plis ke yo te miltipliye, plis ke yo te peche kont mwen. Mwen va fè glwa yo vin chanje an wont.
Bi the multitude of hem, so thei synneden ayens me. Y schal chaunge the glorie of hem in to schenschipe.
8 Yo manje sou peche a pèp Mwen an, e yo dirije volonte yo vè inikite yo.
Thei schulen ete the synnes of my puple, and thei schulen reise the soulis of hem to the wickidnesse of hem.
9 Se konsa sa va ye: jan pèp la ye a, se konsa prèt la ye. Akoz sa, Mwen va pini yo pou chemen yo, e Mwen va rekonpanse yo pou zak yo.
And it schal be, as the puple so the prest; and Y schal visite on hym the weies of hym, and Y schal yelde to him the thouytis of hym.
10 Yo va manje, men yo p ap gen ase. Yo va fè pwostitisyon, men yo p ap ogmante, akoz yo sispann koute SENYÈ a.
And thei schulen ete, and thei schulen not be fillid; thei diden fornicacioun, and ceessiden not, for thei forsoken the Lord in not kepynge.
11 Lavi pwostitisyon, diven, ak diven nèf retire bon konprann.
Fornycacioun, and wiyn, and drunkenesse doen awei the herte.
12 Pèp mwen an mande konsèy a zidòl ki fèt ak bwa yo. Paske yon lespri pwostitisyon te egare yo; yo te enfidèl a Bondye yo a.
My puple axide in his tre, and the staf therof telde to it; for the spirit of fornicacioun disseyuede hem, and thei diden fornicacioun fro her God.
13 Yo ofri sakrifis sou tèt mòn yo, e yo brile lansan sou kolin yo. Anba pye bwadchèn yo, pye sikrèn ak pye mapou yo; akoz lonbraj yo dous. Akoz sa, fi nou yo fè pwostitisyon e madanm nou yo fè adiltè.
On the heedis of mounteyns thei maden sacrifice, and on the litil hillis thei brenten encense vndur an ook, and a popeler, and terebynte, for the schadewe therof was good. Therfor youre douytris schulen do fornicacioun, and youre wyues schulen be auoutressis.
14 Mwen p ap pini fi nou yo lè yo fè pwostitisyon, ni madanm nou yo lè yo fè adiltè. Paske, mesye yo, yo menm, ale sou kote ak pwostitiye yo, e fè sakrifis yo ak pwostitiye tanp yo. Konsa, pèp san konprann nan vin detwi nèt.
Y schal not visite on youre douytris, whanne thei don fornicacioun, and on youre wyues, whanne thei doon auowtrie; for thei lyuyden with hooris, and maden sacrifice with men turned in to wymmens condiciouns. And the puple that vndirstondith not, schal be betun.
15 Malgre sa, ou menm, Israël, ou fè pwostitisyon an, men ou pa kite Juda vin koupab; pa monte vè Guilgal, ni monte nan Beth-Aven, ni sèmante: “Jan Bondye vivan an!”
If thou, Israel, doist fornicacioun, nameli Juda trespasse not; and nyle ye entre in to Galgala, and stie ye not in to Bethauen, nether swere ye, The Lord lyueth.
16 Paske Israël fè tèt li di, tankou yon gazèl ak tèt rèd. Èske SENYÈ a, koulye a, kapab nouri yo tankou jenn mouton nan yon bèl chan?
For as a wielde cow Israel bowide awei; now the Lord schal fede hem as a lomb in broodnesse.
17 Éphraïm vin jwenn ak zidòl yo. Kite li pou kont li.
Effraym is the partener of idols, leeue thou him;
18 Bwason yo vin gen gou si. Yo jwe pwostitiye tout tan. Chèf yo vrèman renmen wont yo.
the feeste of hem is departid. Bi fornicacioun thei diden fornicacioun, the defenders therof louyden to brynge schenschipe.
19 Van an te vlope li nan zèl li yo; yo va wont akoz sakrifis yo fè.
The spirit boond hym in hise wyngis, and thei schulen be schent of her sacrifices.
