Oze 8
1 Mete twonpèt la sou lèv ou yo! Yon bagay tankou malfini vini kont lakay SENYÈ a; akoz yo te transgrese akò Mwen an, e fè rebèl kont lalwa Mwen an.
[Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. [He shall come] as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Yo va rele a Mwen menm: ‘Bondye mwen an, nou menm—Israël—Nou konnen Ou.’
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Israël te rejte sa ki bon; lènmi an va kouri dèyè l.
Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Yo vin plase wa yo, men pa selon Mwen menm. Yo te chwazi prens yo, men pa selon Mwen menm. Ak ajan ak lò pa yo, yo te fè zidòl pou kont yo, jis pou yo ta ka koupe retire nèt.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Kite Samarie jete jenn bèf li deyò! Kòlè Mwen ap brile kont yo! Pou konbyen de tan yo va rete san kapasite pou pirifye?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocency?
6 Paske, sa sòti menm an Israël! Se yon ouvriye ki fè l. Li pa Bondye. Anverite, jenn bèf Samarie a va kraze an mòso.
For from Israel [was] it also: the workman made it; therefore it [is] not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Paske yo simen van, e yo rekòlte toubiyon.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israël vin vale nèt. Koulye a, se pami nasyon yo ye; tankou yon veso ki pa bay plezi a okenn moun.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure.
9 Paske yo te monte Assyrie, kon yon bourik mawon pou kont li. Éphraïm te achte moun pou l ta renmen ak yo.
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Malgre yo vann tèt yo pami nasyon yo, se koulye a, Mwen va ranmase yo. Yo kòmanse vin febli akoz presyon a wa de sa yo ak pwisans.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Akoz Éphraïm te miltipliye lotèl pou fè peche yo, Yo te devni lotèl pou li pou peche yo.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 Malgre sa Mwen te ekri pou li règleman san fen de Lalwa Mwen yo, men yo gade yo tankou yon bagay ki dwòl.
I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Pou sakrifis ofrann Mwen yo, yo fè sakrifis vyann, e yo manje l. SENYÈ a pa pran okenn plezi nan yo. Konsa, Li va sonje inikite yo, e pini peche yo. Yo va retounen an Egypte.
They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat [it; but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Paske Israël te bliye Kreyatè li. Li te bati palè yo. Konsa, Juda te miltipliye vil fòtifye yo; men Mwen va voye dife sou vil li yo, e konsa, li va devore gwo palè li yo.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
