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.
Rejoice not, O Israel, Exult not, like the nations! For thou committest fornication, forsaking thy God! Thou lovest hire on every corn-floor.
2 Glasi vannen a ak pèz diven an p ap nouri yo, e diven nèf la va fè yo vin twonpe.
The floor and the vat shall not feed them, And the new wine shall 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 shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; To Egypt shall Ephraim go back, And eat unclean things in Assyria.
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 shall pour out no offerings of wine to Jehovah, Nor shall their sacrifices please him; They shall be to them as the bread of mourners; All that eat thereof shall be polluted. Their bread shall be for their own hunger; It shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Kisa ou va fè nan jou fèt apwente a, ak nan jou a fèt SENYÈ a?
What will ye do in the festal day, In the day of the feast of Jehovah?
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 go forth from a wasted land; Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them; The precious places of their silver, Nettles shall possess them; Thorns shall spring up in their habitations.
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 are come; The days of retribution are come— Israel shall know that the prophet was foolish, That the man of the spirit was mad— For the greatness of` thy iniquity, and thy great hatred.
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.
If Ephraim seek an answer from my God, The prophet is as the snare of the fowler in all his ways, A net 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 deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity; He will requite their sins.
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 found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; As the early fruit on the fig-tree, at its first time of bearing, I saw your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to shame, And had abominable idols according to their love.
11 Pou Éphraïm glwa yo va vole ale kon zwazo. P ap gen ni nesans, ni ansent, ni konsepsyon.
The glory of Ephraim shall fly away as a bird; They shall not bring forth, nor bear in the womb, nor conceive;
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!
Yea, if they bring up children, I will utterly bereave them; Yea, woe to them when I depart 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.
I have seen Ephraim planted, like Tyre, in a rich pasture, Yet shall Ephraim bring out his children to the murderer.
14 Bay yo!—O SENYÈ! Kisa Ou va bay yo? Bay yo yon ti vant foskouch ak tete sèch.
Give them, O Jehovah! What wilt thou give them? Give them a miscarrying womb, 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; Yea, there have I hated them for the wickedness of their doings; I will drive them from my house; I will love them no more; All their princes are revolters.
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 is smitten; Their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit; Yea, though they should beget children, I will destroy the beloved fruit of the 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 shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
