Oze 7
1 Lè M ta geri blesi Israël, inikite a Éphraïm nan vin dekouvri, ak mechanste a Samarie a tou; paske yo aji nan manti. Vòlè a antre, bandi yo atake pa deyò.
'When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
2 Yo pa menm reflechi nan kè yo ke Mwen Sonje tout mechanste yo. Alò, zak yo ap antoure yo; yo devan figi Mwen.
And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
3 Ak mechanste yo, yo fè kè wa a kontan, epi prens yo, ak manti yo.
With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
4 Yo tout se adiltè; yo tankou yon fou la ke bos boulanje sispann chofe, depi nan lè l ap petri Pat farin nan, jis rive lè pan an fin leve.
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
5 Nan jou a wa nou an, prens yo te fè tèt yo malad ak chalè diven an. Li te lonje men li ak mokè yo.
A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.
6 Paske kè yo vin tankou yon fou pandan y ap kouche tan moun. Fachez yo fè gwo touf lafimen tout lannwit. Nan maten, li brile tankou yon gwo flanm dife.
For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
7 Yo tout cho tankou yon fou. Yo manje jij yo. Tout wa yo fin tonbe. Nanpwen youn pami yo ki rele M.
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
8 Éphraïm mele li menm ak nasyon yo. Éphraïm se yon gato ki pa t vire.
Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
9 Etranje yo devore fòs li, men li pa wè sa a. Anplis, cheve blanch yo la sou li, men li pa konnen.
Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
10 Malgre sa ògèy Israël la fè temwaye kont li, men yo pa retounen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a. Ni yo pa chache Li, malgre tout sa.
And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 Konsa, Éphraïm te vin tankou yon toutrèl egare, san bon sans. Yo rele vè Egypte. Yo ale Assyrie.
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
12 Lè yo ale, Mwen va ouvri pèlen Mwen sou yo. Mwen va desann yo tankou zwazo syèl yo. Mwen va bay yo chatiman, jan kongregasyon yo a te tande a.
When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
13 Malè a yo menm! Paske yo te gaye kite Mwen! Destriksyon pou yo menm, paske yo te fè rebèl kont Mwen! Mwen ta rachte yo, men yo fè manti kont Mwen.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
14 Yo pa t kriye a Mwen menm avèk kè yo, men yo rele fò sou kabann yo. Yo rasanble tèt yo pou sereyal ak diven nèf. Men yo vire kite Mwen.
And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
15 Malgre se Mwen ki enstwi ponyèt yo pou yo ta vin fò, malgre sa, yo fè konplo pou mal kont Mwen.
And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
16 Yo vire, men pa a Sila ki anwo a. Yo tankou yon banza k ap twonpe moun. Prens yo va tonbe devan nepe akoz ensolans a lang yo. Sa va fèt pou yo ka vin pase nan rizib nan peyi Egypte.
They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
