Oze 6
1 Vini, annou retounen kote SENYÈ a; paske li te chire nou, men Li va geri nou. Li te blese nou, men Li va panse nou.
“Come, let us return to Yahweh. For he has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds.
2 Li va fè nou vin refè apre de jou; Nan twazyèm jou a Li va fè nou leve. Konsa, nou va viv devan Li.
After two days he will revive us; he will raise us up on the third day, and we will live before him.
3 Annou rekonèt SENYÈ a; annou refize lage pou nou ka konnen SENYÈ a. Aparans Li asire tankou solèy k ap leve granmmaten. Konsa, Li va vini sou nou tankou lapli, tankou lapli prentan k ap wouze latè.
Let us know Yahweh; let us press on to know Yahweh. His coming out is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the land.”
4 Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Éphraïm? Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Juda? Paske fidelite ou tankou nwaj nan maten, tankou farinay ki disparèt bonè.
Ephraim, what will I do with you? Judah, what will I do with you? Your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.
5 Akoz sa, Mwen te taye yo an mòso ak pwofèt yo; Mwen te touye yo ak pawòl bouch Mwen. Jijman Ou yo se tankou loray k ap tire.
So I have cut them to pieces by the prophets, I have killed them with the words of my mouth. Your decrees are like the light that shines out.
6 Paske, Mwen pito mizerikòd olye sakrifis, epi konesans Bondye a plis ke ofrann brile.
For I desire faithfulness and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Men yo menm, tankou Adam te kase transgresyon akò a. La, yo pa t fidèl anvè Mwen.
Like Adam they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me.
8 Galaad se yon vil ki plen ak malfektè, plen ak tach san.
Gilead is a city of evildoers with footprints of blood.
9 Epi tankou bandi k ap tann yon moun; konsa, yon twoup prèt asasine moun sou wout pou rive Sichem nan. Se gwo krim y ap fè.
As gangs of robbers wait for someone, so the priests band together to commit murder on the way to Shechem; they have committed shameful crimes.
10 Nan lakay Israël, Mwen te wè yon move bagay. Gen pwostitisyon nan Éphraïm. Israël souye pwòp tèt li.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's prostitution is there, and Israel has become unclean.
11 Ou menm tou, O Juda! Gen yon rekòlt ki deja apwente pou ou menm, lè Mwen retabli byennèt pèp Mwen an.
For you also, Judah, a harvest has been appointed, when I will restore the fortunes of my people.
