Oze 2

1 Se konsa n'a rele frè nou yo moun Bondye. N'a rele sè nou yo moun Bondye gen pitye pou yo.

Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

2 Pitit mwen yo, pale ak manman nou. Paske li pa madanm mwen ankò. Mwen pa mari l' non plis. Pale avè l' pou l' sispann sèvi tankou jennès, pou l' wete nan kòsaj li bann zidòl li renmen anpil yo.

Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

3 Si li pa fè sa, m'ap dezabiye l' nèt, pou l' rete toutouni jan manman l' te fè l'. M'ap fè l' tounen tankou tè sèk ki pa jwenn lapli. M'ap fè l' mouri swaf dlo.

lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

4 Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou pitit li yo non plis. Paske yo se pitit yon fanm ki nan jennès.

Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;

5 Manman yo lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Wi, li menm ki te pote yo nan vant li, li avili tèt li, paske l'ap di: mwen pral jwenn nonm mwen yo. Yo ban m' tou sa m' bezwen. Yo ban m' manje, yo ban m' bwè. Yo ban m' twal lenn ak twal fen. Yo ban m' lwil oliv, yo ban m' diven pou m' bwè.

for their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

6 Se poutèt sa mwen pral fèmen l' nan mitan yon lantouraj pikan. Mwen pral moute yon gwo miray fè wonn li. Konsa li p'ap ka mete pye l' deyò.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.

7 L'a chache mwayen pou li al kouri dèyè nonm li yo, men li p'ap ka rive jwenn yo. L'a chache yo toupatou, men li p'ap jwenn yo. Lè sa a, l'a di: M'ap tounen vin jwenn premye mari mwen an, paske avè l' zafè m' te pi bon pase koulye a.

And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

8 Pèp Izrayèl la pa t' rekonèt se mwen menm ki te ba li farin, diven ak lwil. Ata lò ak ajan, se mwen ki te ba li yo an kantite. Men, li pran yo pou fè sèvis Baal.

For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

9 Se poutèt sa, lè sezon rekòt la rive, m'ap reprann farin ak diven mwen te ba li a. M'ap reprann twal lenn ak twal fin mwen te ba li pou fè rad met sou li.

Therefore will I take back my grain in the time thereof, and my new wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

10 M'ap kite l' toutouni devan tout nonm li yo. Pesonn p'ap ka vin sove l' anba men mwen.

And now will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.

11 Mwen pral fè l' sispann gen kè kontan. Mwen pral sispann tout fèt li yo, fèt lalin nouvèl li yo, fèt repo l' yo ak gwo fèt li fete chak lanne yo.

I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 Kanta jaden rezen ak pye fig frans li yo, li di se nonm li yo ki te ba li yo. Enben, m'ap ravaje sa. M'ap fè yo tounen raje, bèt nan bwa va devore yo.

And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13 Mwen pral pini l' pou tout tan li te bliye m' lan, lè li t'ap boule lansan devan Baal yo, lè li t'ap mete zanno ak kolye pou l' te ka kouri dèyè nonm li yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith Jehovah.

14 Se poutèt sa, mwen pral mennen l' nan dezè a ankò. Mwen pral pale dous avè l', pou l' ka tounen vin jwenn mwen.

Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

15 M'a ba li jaden rezen li te gen anvan yo. M'a fè sa ki te rive l' nan Fon Malè a tounen yon okazyon pou l' jwenn sa li t'ap tann lan. L'a reponn mwen menm jan li te fè l' lè li te jenn lan, lè l' te chape anba men moun peyi Lejip yo.

And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 Jou sa a, l'a rele m' mari l', li p'ap rele m' Baal li ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di sa.

And it shall be at that day, saith Jehovah, that thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.

17 Mwen p'ap janm kite non Baal yo soti nan bouch li, li p'ap janm nonmen non yo ankò.

For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.

18 Lè sa a, m'a pase yon kontra avèk tout zannimo nan savann ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la ak tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant pou yo pa fè pèp la anyen. M'ap kraze banza ak nepe pou yo pa fè lagè ankò nan peyi a, pou moun ka kouche dòmi ak kè poze san danje.

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.

19 Izrayèl, m'ap pran angajman pou m' viv avè ou pou tout tan, m'ap toujou respekte ou, m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen avè ou. M'ap toujou renmen ou, m'ap toujou gen pitye pou ou.

And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20 M'ap kenbe pwomès mwen, w'ap pou mwen nèt. Konsa, w'a konnen ki moun mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ye.

I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah.

21 Jou sa a, m'a reponn lapriyè tout moun. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap fè lapli soti nan syèl tonbe sou latè.

And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith Jehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;

22 Tè a va bay manje, diven ak lwil. Se konsa m'a reponn lapriyè moun Jizreyèl yo.

and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.

23 M'ap fè yo peple nan peyi a. M'a gen pitye pou moun mwen te meprize yo. M'a pale ak moun ki pa moun pa m' yo, m'a di yo: Se pèp mwen nou ye. Yo menm, y'a reponn: Wi, se Bondye nou ou ye.

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
