Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè, li mennen m' bò gwo pòtay tanp lan ki bay sou solèy leve. Toupre pòtay la, mwen wè vennsenk gason. Pami yo te gen de chèf peyi a, Jazanya, pitit gason Azou a, ak Pelatya, pitit gason Benaja a.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Mesye sa yo gen move lide ap travay dèyè tèt yo. Y'ap bay move konsèy nan lavil la.
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
Y'ap plede di: Talè konsa nou p'ap ka bati kay ankò! Lavil la tankou yon chodyè sou dife, nou menm, nou tankou vyann ladan l'. Nou pa bezwen fè anyen kote nou ye a.
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Se poutèt sa, nonm o! Men mesaj m'ap ba ou pou ou di sou yo.
5 The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Lespri Seyè a desann sou mwen ankò. Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' bay pèp la mesaj sa a: -Nou menm fanmi Izrayèl la, mwen konnen sa n'ap di, mwen konnen lide nou gen dèyè tèt nou.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Nou sitèlman touye moun isit nan lavil la, lari yo plen kadav.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
Konsa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di nou: Wi, lavil la tankou yon chodyè. Men kisa ki vyann lan? Se kadav moun nou touye yo! Nou menm menm m'ap fè yo mete nou deyò nan lavil la.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
Nou pè lagè, pa vre? Enben, m'ap voye lagè sou nou! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
M'ap fè yo mete nou deyò nan lavil la. M'ap lage nou nan men moun lòt nasyon yo. M'ap pini nou jan m' te pwomèt nou sa a.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
N'ap mouri nan lagè nan mitan peyi nou an. Se la m'ap pini nou. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Lavil sa a p'ap pwoteje nou jan chodyè pwoteje vyann ki ladan l'. Se nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la menm m'ap pini nou.
12 You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
Wi, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Pase pou nou te swiv lòd mwen yo, pase pou n' te fè sa m' mande nou fè, nou te pito swiv vye mès pèp k'ap viv nan peyi ki bò kote nou yo.
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Antan m'ap bay mesaj la, Pelatya, pitit gason Benaja a, tonbe li mouri frèt. Mwen lage kò m' ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen jouk atè, mwen rele byen fò, mwen di: -O Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la! Eske ou pral touye ti rès moun ki rete nan pèp Izrayèl la?
14 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
-Nonm o! Moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ap pale sou ou, sou frè ou, sou fanmi ou, sou tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo. Y'ap di: Moun yo depòte yo twò lwen pou yo ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, se konsa Seyè a ban nou peyi a pou rele nou pa nou.
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, bay pou moun yo depòte yo. Wi, se mwen menm ki te voye yo al viv byen lwen nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, mwen gaye yo nan yon bann lòt peyi. Men, m'ap toujou la avèk yo nan peyi kote yo ale a tankou si m' te nan kay yo mete apa pou mwen an.
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, m'ap di yo: M'ap pran yo nan mitan nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a, m'ap sanble yo. M'ap fè yo soti kite peyi sa yo, m'ap ba yo peyi Izrayèl la ankò pou yo.
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
Lè y'a tounen, y'a wete tout vye zidòl y'a jwenn ansanm ak tout vye bagay derespektan ki t'ap fèt nan peyi a.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
M'ap ba yo yon lòt kè, yon lòt lespri. M'ap wete kè di kou wòch yo te genyen nan lestonmak yo a, m'ap ba yo yon kè ki gen bon santiman.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Konsa, y'a mache dapre lòd m'a ba yo. Y'a fè tou sa m'a mande yo fè. Y'a koute m' lè m'a pale yo. Se pèp pa m' lan menm yo pral ye, mwen menm mwen pral Bondye yo.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
Men, m'ap pini moun ki pa vle lage vye zidòl yo, ki toujou soti pou yo fè vye bagay derespektan yo. M'ap pini yo pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki pale.
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Bèt vivan yo pran vole, wou yo pati ansanm ak yo. Bèl limyè prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te anwo yo.
23 The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Bèl limyè prezans Seyè a soti kite lavil la, li ale poze sou mòn ki te sou bò solèy leve a.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Nan vizyon an toujou, mwen wè lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' tounen lavil Babilòn nan mitan moun yo te depòte yo. Lèfini, vizyon an disparèt.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
Mwen rakonte moun yo te depòte yo tou sa Seyè a te fè m' wè.
