Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, nan nevyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa a, nan dizyèm jou nan mwa a, e te di:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this selfsame day: the king of Babylon drew close unto Jerusalem this selfsame day.
“Fis a lòm, ekri non a jou a, jou sa a menm. Wa Babylone nan te vin mete syèj sou Jérusalem nan menm jou sa a.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Pale yon parabòl a kay rebèl la pou di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mete chodyè a sou difè a. Mete l, e anplis, vide dlo ladann.
4 gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Mete mòso yo ladann, tout bon mòso yo: kwis ak zepòl la. Plen li ak zo byen chwazi yo.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile [of wood] for the bones under [the caldron]; make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be boiled in the midst of it.
Pran mouton ki pi byen chwazi nan bann nan, e anplis, mete pil bwa anba chodyè a. Fè l bouyi fò. Anplis, fè bouyi zo ki ladann yo nèt.”
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen upon it.
“‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a peyi sanglan sila a, a chodyè nan sila gen lawouy ladann l! Lawouy la ki pa sòti ladann l! Retire ladann mòso pa mòso, san menm tire oso.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust.
“‘“Paske san fanm nan vèse se nan mitan l. Li te mete l sou wòch vid la. Li pa t vide li atè a, pou kouvri li ak pousyè.
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Pou l kapab koze gwo chalè ak kòlè k ap pran vanjans, Mwen te mete san li sou wòch vid la, pou li kab pa kouvri.”
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
“‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a vil sanglan sila a! Anplis, Mwen menm, Mwen va fè pil la gwo.
10 Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned.
Ogmante bwa a. Byen ranje dife a. Bouyi chè vyann nan byen. Mele epis ladann e kite zo yo vin brile.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the rust of it may be consumed.
Epi mete li vid sou chabon limen li an pou li ka byen cho, pou bwonz li an kapab gen koulè wouj pou tout salte li yo kapab vin fann ladann, jiskaske lawouy li a fin manje nèt.
12 She hath wearied [herself] with toil; yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her; her rust [goeth not forth] by fire.
Fi a te fè M fatige ak travay di ke M fè; malgre sa, gwo lawouy li a pa t kite li. Kite lawouy li a rete nan dife a!
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed thee and thou wast not cleansed, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.
“‘“Nan salte ou a se tout zak ki lèd yo. Akoz mwen ta netwaye ou, malgre sa, ou pa pwòp; ou p ap vin pwòp de salte ou yo jiskaske Mwen fè chalè kòlè Mwen an sou ou poze.
14 I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
“‘“Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale. Sa ap vini e Mwen va aji. Mwen p ap ralanti e Mwen p ap gen pitye ni mwen p ap gen regrè. Selon zak ou yo, Mwen va jije ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
15 Also the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Fis a lòm, gade byen, Mwen prèt pou retire sou ou dezi zye ou yo ak yon sèl kou; men ou p ap plenyen, ni ou p ap kriye, ni dlo p ap vini nan zye ou.
17 Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Plenn nan gòj san fè bri. Pa fè dèy pou mò. Mare moso twal long ou nan tèt ou, mete soulye nan pye ou. Pa kouvri bouch ou e pa manje pen fè dèy a.”
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Konsa, mwen te pale ak pèp la nan maten an, e nan aswè, madanm mwen te mouri. Konsa, nan maten an, mwen te fè jan yo te kòmande mwen an.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Pèp la te mande m: “Èske ou p ap di nou kisa sa vle di ke ou ap aji konsa?”
20 Then I said unto them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Epi mwen te di yo: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
‘Pale ak lakay Israël: “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou pwofane sanktyè Mwen an, ògèy a pouvwa nou an, dezi a zye nou, e plezi a nanm nou. Epi fis ak fi nou yo, ke nou te kite dèyè yo; yo va tonbe pa nepe.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Nou va fè jan mwen te fè a. Nou p ap kouvri bouch nou, ni nou p ap manje pen fè dèy a.
23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
Tiban nou va sou tèt nou e soulye nou nan pye nou. Nou p ap fè dèy, ni nou p ap kriye; men nou va plenyen nan inikite nou yo e nou va plenyen youn bay lòt.
24 Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
Konsa, Ézéchiel va vin yon sign pou nou, selon tout sa ke li menm te fè, nou va fè yo. Lè sa rive, alò nou va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.’”’”
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
“Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, èske sa p ap nan jou a, lè M ap retire fòs yo nan men yo, lajwa fyète yo, dezi a zye yo e plezi a kè yo, fis ak fi pa yo,
26 that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
pou nan jou sila a, sila ki chape a va vin kote ou ak enfòmasyon pou zòrèy ou?
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Nan jou sa a, bouch ou va vin louvri a sila ki te chape a, ou va pale, e ou p ap bèbè ankò. Konsa, ou va vin yon sign pou yo, e yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
