Oze 9
1 Pa rejwi, O Israël, ak lajwa kon nasyon yo! Paske ou te fè pwostitisyon. Ou te abandone Bondye ou a. Ou te renmen salè kòb ki konn ranmase sou nenpòt glasi vannen.
Do not choose to rejoice, Israel; do not celebrate as the crowds do. For you have been committing fornication against your God; you have loved a prize upon every threshing floor of wheat.
2 Glasi vannen a ak pèz diven an p ap nouri yo, e diven nèf la va fè yo vin twonpe.
The threshing floor and the oil press will not feed them, and the wine will deceive them.
3 Yo p ap rete nan peyi SENYÈ a, men Éphraïm va retounen an Égypte, e yo va manje sa ki pa pwòp an Assyrie.
They will not dwell in the land of the Lord. Ephraim has been returned to Egypt, and he has eaten polluted things among the Assyrians.
4 Yo p ap vide ofrann bwason diven a SENYÈ a, Ni yo p ap fè L plezi. Sakrifis yo va tankou pen moun ki fè dèy pou mò. Tout moun ki manje ladan va vin souye, paske pen pa yo va sèlman pou plen vant yo. Li p ap antre lakay SENYÈ a.
They will not offer a libation of wine to the Lord, and they will not please him. Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners. All those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread is of their soul; it will not enter into the house of the Lord.
5 Kisa ou va fè nan jou fèt apwente a, ak nan jou a fèt SENYÈ a?
What will you do on the solemn day, on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Paske, gade byen, lè yo pran flit devan destriksyon, Égypte va ranmase yo. Moph va antere yo. Se machacha k ap vin pran trezò ajan yo. Se bwa pikan k ap fè tant yo.
For, behold, they have been sent away by devastation. Egypt will gather them together; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will inherit their desired silver; the burr will be in their tabernacles.
7 Jou pinisyon yo gen tan rive. Jou jijman yo gen tan rive. Israël va konsidere Pwofèt la kon yon moun fou, moun ki gen gwo limyè a kon plen ak foli, akoz inikite ou yo tèlman vin anpil, e akoz rayisman ou yo vin tèlman gran.
The days of visitation have arrived; the days of retribution are here. Know this, Israel: that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, because of the multitude of your iniquities and the great extent of your foolishness.
8 Yon pwofèt veye sou Éphraïm avèk Bondye mwen an. Yon pèlen moun pou kapte se nan tout chemen li yo, e se sèl mepriz li twouve lakay Bondye li a.
The watcher of Ephraim was with my God. The prophet has become a snare of ruin over all his ways; insanity is in the house of his God.
9 Yo antre tèt yo byen fon nan koripsyon, tankou nan jou a Guibea yo. Li va sonje inikite yo. Li va pini peche yo.
They have sinned profoundly, just as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sin.
10 Mwen te twouve Israël tankou rezen yo nan dezè. Mwen te wè papa zansèt nou yo tankou premye fwi sou pye fig nan premye sezon li. Men yo te rive kote Baal-Peor; yo te konsakre tèt yo a gwo wont, e yo te vin abominab menm jan ak sila ke yo te renmen a.
I discovered Israel like grapes in the desert. Like the first fruits of the fig tree, I saw their fathers on the end of its branches. But they went in to Baal-peor, and they have been estranged by intermingling, and they have become abominable, just like the things that they chose to love.
11 Pou Éphraïm glwa yo va vole ale kon zwazo. P ap gen ni nesans, ni ansent, ni konsepsyon.
Ephraim has chased away their glory like a bird: from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.
12 Malgre yo leve pwòp pitit yo, Mwen va prive yo de yo, jiskaske pa gen yon moun ki rete. Wi, anverite malè a yo menm, lè Mwen kite yo!
And even if they should nurture their sons, I will make them without children among men. Yes, and woe to them, when I have withdrawn from them.
13 Mwen wè Éphraïm, jan Mwen te wè Tyr la, plante nan yon bèl chan; men Éphraïm va fè parèt ak pitit li yo pou gran masak la.
Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution.
14 Bay yo!—O SENYÈ! Kisa Ou va bay yo? Bay yo yon ti vant foskouch ak tete sèch.
Give them, O Lord. What will you give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
15 Tout mechanste yo se nan Guilgal; Anverite se la Mwen te rayi yo! Akoz mechanste a zak yo, Mwen va chase yo sòti lakay Mwen. Mwen p ap renmen yo ankò; tout prens yo se rebèl.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for I held them there, in their hatred. Because of the malice of their inventions, I will expel them from my house. I will no longer say that I love them; all their leaders have retreated.
16 Éphraïm vin frape. Rasin yo vin sèch. Yo p ap bay fwi. Menm si yo ka fè pitit, Mwen va touye fwi byeneme a vant yo a.
Ephraim has been struck; their root has been dried out: by no means will they yield fruit. And even if they should conceive, I will execute the most beloved of their womb.
17 Bondye mwen an va jete yo deyò akoz yo pa t koute Li; epi yo va vin vagabon pami nasyon yo.
My God will cast them aside because they have not listened to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
