Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king: for there is a judgment against you, because you have been a snare to them whom you should have watched over, and a net spread upon Thabor.
Tande bagay sa a, O prèt yo! Prete zòrèy ou O lakay Israël! Koute byen, O lakay wa a! Paske jijman an se pou ou, paske ou te yon pèlen nan Mitspa e yon Filè ouvri sou Thabor.
2 And you have turned aside victims into the depth: and I am, the teacher of them all.
Rebèl yo desann fon nan fè masak; men Mwen va fè chatiman rive sou Yo tout.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now Ephraim hath committed fornication, Israel is defiled.
Mwen konnen Éphraïm e Israël pa kache devan M; paske koulye a, O Éphraïm, ou te jwe pwostitiye. Israël te souye tèt li.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
Zak yo p ap pèmèt ke yo retounen jwenn Bondye yo a, paske, yon lespri pwostitisyon rete anndan yo. Yo pa konnen SENYÈ a.
5 And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.
Anplis, ògèy Israël la temwaye kont li. Donk, Israël ak Éphraïm va tonbe nan inikite yo. Anplis, Juda va tonbe avèk yo.
6 With their flocks, and with their herds, they shall go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
Yo va ale avèk bann mouton ak twoupo yo pou y al chache SENYÈ a, men yo p ap jwenn Li. Li te retire tèt Li kite yo.
7 They have transgressed against the Lord, for they have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Yo te aji an trèt kont SENYÈ a, paske yo te fè pitit ilejitim. Koulye a nouvèl lin nan va devore yo menm ak chan yo.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
“Soufle kòn Guibea a, twonpèt Rama a. Sone alam Beth-Aven nan: Dèyè ou, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
Éphraïm va vin yon kote dezole nan jou repwòch la; Pami tribi Israël yo, Mwen deklare sa ki va rive.
10 The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Prens a Juda yo te vin tankou sila ki deplase Bòn yo; Sou yo, Mwen va vide tout chalè kòlè Mwen an tankou dlo.
11 Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.
Éphraïm vin oprime, Li vin kraze nan jijman an, akoz li te pran desizyon pou swiv zidòl yo.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the house of Juda.
Akoz sa, mwen vin tankou yon papiyon twal pou Éphraïm e tankou pouriti pou lakay Juda.
13 And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
“Lè Éphraïm te wè maladi li a, e Juda, jan li te blese a; alò, Éphraïm te ale kote Assyrie. Li te voye kote Wa Jareb. Men li p ap ka geri w, ni li p ap ka fè geri maleng ou an.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and there is none that can rescue.
Paske, Mwen va tankou yon lyon pou Éphraïm, e Mwen va tankou yon jenn lyon pou lakay Juda. Mwen menm, Mwen va chire an mòso e Mwen va ale. Mwen va pote ale, e p ap gen moun ki pou delivre.
15 I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek my face.
Mwen va ale retounen nan plas Mwen, jiskaske yo vin rekonèt koupabilite yo, pou chache fas Mwen. Nan soufrans yo, y ap vin chache Mwen ak tout kè.”
