Oze 1
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te vini a Osée, fis a Béeri a, pandan jou Ozias yo, Jotham, Achaz, ak Ézéchias, wa a Juda a, e nan tan Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la.
The Lord sent a message to Hosea son of Beeri at the time when Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was the king of Israel.
2 Lè SENYÈ a te pale an premye pa Osée, SENYÈ a te di a Osée: “Ale, pran pou ou menm, yon madanm pwostitiye, ak pitit enfidèl yo. Paske peyi a ap komèt gwo pwostitisyon. L ap abandone SENYÈ a.”
The Lord began speaking through Hosea by telling him, “Go and take a wife who is a prostitute and have children born to a prostitute because those living in this land have committed terrible prostitution by turning away from the Lord.”
3 Konsa, li te ale pran Gomer, fi a Diblaïm nan. Li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou li.
So Hosea went and married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and bore Hosea a son.
4 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di li: “Bay li non Jizreel; paske deja nan yon ti tan mwen va vanje san a Jizreel sou lakay Jéhu. Epi sa va koze wayòm lakay Israël la fini.
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Jezreel, because I am going to punish the house of Jehu for the blood he shed at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5 Nan jou sa a, Mwen va kraze banza Israël la nan vale Jizreel la.”
On that day I will break Israel's military power in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Konsa, li te vin ansent ankò, e li te bay nesans a yon fi. Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Rele li Lo Ruchama, paske Mwen p ap fè konpasyon ankò pou lakay Israël, pou M ta janm padone yo.
Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. The Lord told Hosea, “Call her Lo-ruhamah, because I will no longer love the house of Israel and certainly not forgive them.
7 Men Mwen va genyen konpasyon pou lakay Juda. Yo va delivre pa SENYÈ Bondye yo, a e yo p ap delivre ni pa banza, ni pa nepe, ni pa batay, pa cheval, ni chevalye.”
But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will save them—but I will not save them by bow or sword or war or horses and riders.”
8 Alò, lè li te fin sevre Lo Ruchama, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis.
After Gomer had weaned Lo-ruhamah she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.
9 Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Rele li Lo Ammi, paske nou pa pèp Mwen, ni Mwen pa Bondye nou.”
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Lo-ammi, because you are not my people and I am not your God.
10 Malgre sa, fis Israël yo va tankou sab lanmè, ki p ap ka mezire, ni konte. Men nan plas kote sa te pale a yo menm nan, ‘Nou pa pèp Mwen an’, sa va pale a yo menm ‘Yo va rele fis a Bondye vivan an.’
Even so the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand on the seashore that cannot be measured or counted. Then right there at the place where they were told ‘you are not my people’ they will be called ‘the children of the living God.’
11 Konsa, fis a Juda ak fis Israël yo va vin rasanble ansanm, epi yo va chwazi pou kont yo yon sèl chèf, epi yo va monte depi nan peye a, paske jou a Jizreel la va vreman gran.
The people of Israel and the people of Judah will be gathered together and they will choose one leader for themselves and they will take possession of the land, and the day of Jezreel will be great.”
