Oze 5
1 Tande bagay sa a, O prèt yo! Prete zòrèy ou O lakay Israël! Koute byen, O lakay wa a! Paske jijman an se pou ou, paske ou te yon pèlen nan Mitspa e yon Filè ouvri sou Thabor.
“Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, house of the king! For judgment is coming against you all. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
2 Rebèl yo desann fon nan fè masak; men Mwen va fè chatiman rive sou Yo tout.
The rebels stand deep in slaughter, but I will punish all of them.
3 Mwen konnen Éphraïm e Israël pa kache devan M; paske koulye a, O Éphraïm, ou te jwe pwostitiye. Israël te souye tèt li.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
4 Zak yo p ap pèmèt ke yo retounen jwenn Bondye yo a, paske, yon lespri pwostitisyon rete anndan yo. Yo pa konnen SENYÈ a.
Their deeds will not allow them to turn to God, for the mind of adultery is in them, and they do not know Yahweh.
5 Anplis, ògèy Israël la temwaye kont li. Donk, Israël ak Éphraïm va tonbe nan inikite yo. Anplis, Juda va tonbe avèk yo.
The pride of Israel testifies against him; so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them.
6 Yo va ale avèk bann mouton ak twoupo yo pou y al chache SENYÈ a, men yo p ap jwenn Li. Li te retire tèt Li kite yo.
They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Yo te aji an trèt kont SENYÈ a, paske yo te fè pitit ilejitim. Koulye a nouvèl lin nan va devore yo menm ak chan yo.
They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
8 “Soufle kòn Guibea a, twonpèt Rama a. Sone alam Beth-Aven nan: Dèyè ou, Benjamin!
Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
9 Éphraïm va vin yon kote dezole nan jou repwòch la; Pami tribi Israël yo, Mwen deklare sa ki va rive.
Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
10 Prens a Juda yo te vin tankou sila ki deplase Bòn yo; Sou yo, Mwen va vide tout chalè kòlè Mwen an tankou dlo.
The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone. I will pour my wrath on them like water.
11 Éphraïm vin oprime, Li vin kraze nan jijman an, akoz li te pran desizyon pou swiv zidòl yo.
Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked after idols.
12 Akoz sa, mwen vin tankou yon papiyon twal pou Éphraïm e tankou pouriti pou lakay Juda.
So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
13 “Lè Éphraïm te wè maladi li a, e Juda, jan li te blese a; alò, Éphraïm te ale kote Assyrie. Li te voye kote Wa Jareb. Men li p ap ka geri w, ni li p ap ka fè geri maleng ou an.
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and Judah sent messengers to the great king. But he was not able to cure you people or heal your wound.
14 Paske, Mwen va tankou yon lyon pou Éphraïm, e Mwen va tankou yon jenn lyon pou lakay Juda. Mwen menm, Mwen va chire an mòso e Mwen va ale. Mwen va pote ale, e p ap gen moun ki pou delivre.
So I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry them off, and there will be no one to rescue them.
15 Mwen va ale retounen nan plas Mwen, jiskaske yo vin rekonèt koupabilite yo, pou chache fas Mwen. Nan soufrans yo, y ap vin chache Mwen ak tout kè.”
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
