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 word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, 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 beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go take to thee a wife addicted to lewdness and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness, [departing] 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 he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; who conceived, and bore him 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.

And the LORD said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 Nan jou sa a, Mwen va kraze banza Israël la nan vale Jizreel la.”

And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel 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.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And [God] said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

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 mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Alò, lè li te fin sevre Lo Ruchama, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis.

Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

9 Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Rele li Lo Ammi, paske nou pa pèp Mwen, ni Mwen pa Bondye nou.”

Then said [God], Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye [are] not my people, and I will not be 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.’

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said to them, [Ye are] the sons 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.

Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be assembled, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up from the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.
