Ezekiel 22
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 “As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations
-Nonm o! Eske ou vle jije lavil ki renmen fè san koule a? W'a fè l' konnen tout vye bagay derespektan li te fè yo.
3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,
W'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. Ou reskonsab lanmò anpil moun ki t'ap viv nan mitan ou. Ou fè vye zidòl pou ou avili tèt ou nan fè sèvis pou yo.
4 you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
Poutèt tout krim ou fè yo, ou antò. Avèk tout zidòl w'ap sèvi yo, ou pa nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Ou fè jou pa ou la pwoche, ou fè lè ou la rive! Se poutèt sa mwen kite nasyon yo pase ou nan betiz, tout moun ap lonje dwèt sou ou.
5 Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
Nan peyi pre ak nan peyi lwen, y'ap pase ou nan rizib. Ou se yon lavil ki gen move non, yon lavil plen dezòd.
6 See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
Tout chèf peyi Izrayèl yo gen konfyans nan pwòp fòs yo. Yon sèl bagay yo konnen, se touye moun.
7 Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
Nan lavil la, pesonn pa respekte papa ak manman yo ankò. Y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo. Y'ap maltrete fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki san papa.
8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
Nou pa respekte kay yo mete apa pou mwen yo, ni jou repo m' yo.
9 Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
Plen moun nan mitan ou k'ap mache denonse moun, k'ap bay manti sou moun pou fè touye yo. Gen lòt k'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl yo. Gen lòt menm, se pran plezi yo nèt ale nan tout kalite dezòd.
10 In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
Genyen k'ap kouche ak madanm papa yo. Genyen k'ap fòse madanm yo kouche ak yo atout yo gen règ yo.
11 One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
Genyen k'ap fè adiltè ak madanm moun Izrayèl parèy yo, k'ap kouche ak bèlfi yo san yo pa wont. Genyen k'ap fè kadejak sou pitit fi papa yo ki pa menm manman ak yo.
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
Genyen k'ap touye moun pou lajan. Gen lòt ankò k'ap bay frè parèy yo ponya, y'ap mande yo enterè pou lajan yo prete yo. Y'ap pran tou sa frè parèy yo genyen pa fòs. Men mwen menm, yo bliye m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
13 Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
Mwen pral frape pye m' atè, paske nou vòlò twòp, nou touye moun twòp.
14 Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
Jou m'ap regle avè ou la, ou p'ap gen kouraj pou ou sipòte, ou p'ap menm ka leve bra ou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
M'ap gaye tout pèp ou a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. M'ap mache simaye nou nan peyi etranje yo. M'ap fè nou sispann fè malpwòpte nou t'ap fè nan mitan nou an.
16 And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Akòz tou sa ou fè ki derespektan yo, lòt nasyon yo pral trennen ou nan labou. Men ou menm, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
17 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale ave m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
-Nonm o! Pou mwen moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa vo anyen. Yo tankou kras ki rete nan fon chodyè lè y'ap fonn ajan, kwiv, asye, fè ak plon. Yo tankou kras nan fon chodyè, yo pa vo anyen.
19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Koulye a nou tounen kras nan fon chodyè fèblantye, mwen pral mete nou tout fè pil nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm.
20 Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
Menm jan yo mete vye moso ajan, kwiv, fè, plon ak eten nan yon chodyè sou gwo dife pou fonn yo wete kras, m'ap move sou nou, m'ap fè kòlè, m'ap tankou dife y'ap soufle anba chodyè fèblantye pou fonn metal yo, m'ap fè nou fonn.
21 Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
Wi, m'ap mete nou ansanm nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap limen dife anba nou, m'ap fache sou nou, m'ap fonn nou.
22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
Nou pral fonn nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm tankou ajan k'ap fonn nan chodyè fèblantye. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki move sou nou konsa.
23 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of indignation, you are a land that has not been cleansed, upon which no rain has fallen.’
-Nonm o! W'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo yo rete nan yon peyi ki gen madichon. Wi, lè m'a move sou yo, yo p'ap jwenn yon degout lapli.
25 The conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.
Chèf ki rete nan peyi a tankou lyon k'ap gwonde bò yon bèt yo fin touye. Yo devore moun, yo pran tout richès ak tout byen yo jwenn. Se pa de fanm yo kite san mari.
26 Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
Prèt yo menm pa kenbe lwa mwen an, yo pa gen respè pou kay ki apa pou mwen an. Yo pa fè diferans ant bagay ki apa pou mwen ak bagay ki pa apa pou mwen. Yo pa moutre moun sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon pou sèvis mwen. Yo pa konn sa ki rele jou repo mwen yo. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pa respekte m' menm.
27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
Zotobre yo menm nan lavil la, yo tankou chen mawon k'ap dechèpiye bèt yo touye. Y'ap touye moun pou yo vòlò byen yo.
28 Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
Pwofèt yo kache peche pou chèf yo tankou moun k'ap kouvri yon vye miray ak krepisay. Y'ap fè vizyon ki pa vre. Y'ap bay manti sou sa ki pou rive. Yo pretann se mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ba yo, men, mwen pa janm pale ak yo.
29 The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice.
Nan tout peyi a moun yo lage kò yo nan fè mechanste, nan vòlò zafè moun. Y'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite yo, y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon yo san rezon.
30 I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.
Mwen chache nan mitan yo yon moun ki ta ka bati yon miray, ki ta ka kanpe kote miray yo ap kraze a, pou pran defans peyi a lè m'a fè kòlè pou m' detwi l', men mwen pa jwenn pesonn.
31 So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
Se konsa, mwen pral move sou yo. Tankou yon dife, mwen pral disparèt yo. Mwen pral fè yo peye pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
