< Ezekiel 2 >
1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Kanpe non! Mwen pral pale avè ou.
2 And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
Antan l'ap pale konsa a, lespri Bondye antre sou mwen, li mete m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Epi m' tande vwa a ki pran pale ankò.
3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap voye ou bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se yon bann moun ki pa t' vle koute m', yo te vire do ban mwen. Jouk koulye a y' ap kenbe tèt avè m' tankou zansèt yo te fè l' nan tan lontan.
4 They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Yo gen tèt di, yo gen move santiman konsa nan kè yo. Men se bò kote moun sa yo m'ap voye ou pou di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m' voye di yo.
5 And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Mwen konnen se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di. Kit yo koute ou, kit yo pa koute ou, zafè yo! Men y'a konnen te gen yon pwofèt nan mitan yo.
6 But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.
Men ou menm, nonm o! ou pa bezwen pè yo, ni ou pa bezwen pè sa y'ap di. Y'ap tizonnen ou, y'ap pase ou nan betiz. W'ap tankou yon moun k'ap mache nan yon jaden pikan, tankou yon moun ki chita sou yon nich flanman. Men, ou pa bezwen kite yo kraponnen ou ak sa y'ap di, ou pa bezwen pè yo. Se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di.
7 But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
Se pou ou di yo tou sa m'a di ou di yo, yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou. Chonje se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
8 And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
Nonm o! Koute sa m' pral di ou la a. Pa fè tèt di tankou move ras moun sa yo. Louvri bouch ou, manje sa m' pral ba ou la a.
9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,
M' gade, mwen wè yon men lonje sou mwen. Li te kenbe yon woulo liv tou fèmen.
10 which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
Li louvri liv la devan je m', mwen wè li te ekri sou tou de bò l' yo. Li te plen pawòl moun di lè y'ap plenn sò yo, lè yo nan gwo lapenn, lè y'ap soufri anpil.
