Hosea 14

O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

Tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou non, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo! Se peche nou yo ki te fè nou tonbe.

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a! Men sa pou nou di li: Padonnen tout peche nou yo. Asepte sa n'ap mande ou la a. Nou p'ap ofri ou towo bèf ankò, n'ap fè lwanj ou pito.

Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

Moun Lasiri yo p'ap janm ka sove nou. Nou p'ap mete konfyans nou ankò nan chwal pou fè lagè. Nou p'ap janm gade zidòl nou fè ak men nou pou nou di yo se yo ki bondye nou. Nou rekonèt, Seyè, se ou menm ki gen pitye pou timoun ki san papa.

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Seyè a di ankò: -M'ap rale pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò. M'ap renmen yo ak tout kè m'. Mwen p'ap ankòlè sou yo ankò.

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

M'ap tankou lawouze pou moun Izrayèl yo. Yo pral fleri tankou flè nan jaden. Yo pral pouse rasin tankou pyebwa nan peyi Liban.

His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

Yo pral boujonnen sou tout kò yo. Y'ap bèl tankou pye oliv. Y'ap santi bon tankou pye sèd peyi Liban.

They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Yo gen pou yo tounen vin rete anba zèl mwen pou m' pwoteje yo. Jaden ble yo pral donnen ankò. Yo pral fleri tankou pye rezen. Non yo ap nan tout bouch tankou bon mak diven yo fè nan peyi Liban.

Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

Nou menm moun Izrayèl, konnen mwen pa gen anyen pou mwen wè ak zidòl. Mwen menm m'a reponn yo lè y'ap lapriyè. M'ap okipe yo tankou pye bwapen ki rete toujou vèt, m'ap ba yo lonbraj. Se mwen menm k'ap ba yo tout kalite benediksyon.

Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Se pou moun ki gen konprann chache konprann sa ki ekri la a. Se pou moun ki gen lespri chache konprann li. Paske chemen Bondye se chemen ki dwat. Moun k'ap viv dapre volonte Bondye ap mache ladan l' san anyen p'ap rive yo. Men, moun ki vire do yo bay Bondye ap bite sou wout la.
