Ezekiel 24
1 In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Nan dizyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp Izrayèl la, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
-Nonm o! Ekri dat jòdi a, paske se jòdi a wa peyi Babilòn lan pral sènen lavil Jerizalèm.
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
Ou pral bay yon pawoli sou move ras moun sa yo ki gen tèt di. W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Mete yon chodyè sou dife, plen l' dlo.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
Mete vyann ladan l', pi bon moso vyann ou konnen: jigo ak zepòl. Mete bon moso zo ladan l' tou.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
W'a pran yo nan mouton ki pi gra yo. Mete bon bwa anba chodyè a. Kite dlo a bouyi byen bouyi jouk vyann lan ak zo yo byen kwit.
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di apre sa: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a! Li tankou yon chodyè wouye yo pa janm foubi. Wete tout moso vyann yo yonn apre lòt. Pa chwazi pou kite anyen ladan l'.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
Li fè anpil san koule nan mitan li. Men, san an pa koule atè pou pousyè te kouvri l'. San an koule sou wòch.
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
Mwen kite san an la sou wòch yo, kote yo pa ka kouvri l', pou l' ka mande revanj paske sa fè m' fache anpil.
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a. Se mwen menm ki pral fè yon gwo pil bwa.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
Pote bwa an kantite toujou! Limen dife a! Kwit vyann yo byen kwit! Mete zepis ladan l'! Boule zo yo!
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
Mete chodyè fè a tou vid sou chabon dife yo. Kite l' vin tou wouj. Konsa lawouj la va tonbe, l'a dekale. Chodyè a va vin pwòp ankò pou l' ka sèvi.
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
Ala traka pou wete lawouj la! Atousa, lawouj la p'ap fin soti nèt nan dife a.
13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
Jerizalèm, lawouj la se vye malpwòpte ou t'ap fè nan libètinaj ou yo. Mwen te soti pou m' te mete ou nan bon kondisyon, men ou pa rive fin nan bon kondisyon an nèt. Se poutèt sa, ou p'ap janm nan bon kondisyon ankò toutotan mwen pa fè ou santi tou sa mwen ka fè ou nan kòlè mwen.
14 I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Lè a rive pou m' fè sa m' te di m'ap fè a. Mwen p'ap chanje lide. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap pran priyè. Yo pral pini ou pou sa ou te fè, pou jan ou te mennen bak ou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
15 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow.
-Nonm o! Mwen pral rete konsa, mwen pral pran moun ou renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt ou a. Men, pa plenyen, pa rele, pa kite dlo sot nan je ou!
17 Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
Plenn sò ou. Men, pa kite moun tande ou! Pa fè anyen ki pou moutre ou nan lapenn tankou yon moun ki gen lanmò. Mare bèl foula ou nan tèt ou. Mete sapat nan pye ou. Pa kouvri figi ou. Pa manje manje moun voye ba ou.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.
Jou sa a nan maten, mwen t'ap pale ak pèp la. Nan aswè, madanm mwen rete konsa, li mouri. Nan denmen maten, mwen fè jan Seyè a te di m' fè a.
19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
Pèp la mande m': -Eske ou ka di nou poukisa ou fè sa w'ap fè la a?
20 So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Mwen reponn yo: -Seyè a te pale avè m', li te di m',
21 Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
pou m' di moun pèp Izrayèl yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye pou yo: Nou kontan gwo kay solid nou mete apa pou mwen an. Nou renmen l' tankou de grenn je nan tèt nou, nou fèb anpil pou li. Enben, mwen pral fè yo derespekte kay mwen an. Pitit gason ak pitit fi nou te kite lavil Jerizalèm yo pral mouri nan lagè.
22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.
Lè sa a, n'a fè jan nou wè m' fè a. Nou p'ap kouvri figi nou, nou p'ap manje pen nan men moun.
23 Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves.
N'ap toujou mare bèl foula nan tèt nou. N'ap toujou mete sapat nan pye nou, nou p'ap rele, nou p'ap kriye jan moun yo fè lè yo gen lanmò. Men, nou pral deperi akòz mechanste nou yo. Nou pral plenn sò nou yonn bay lòt.
24 ‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
Ezekyèl menm pral yon siy pou nou. N'a fè menm jan li te fè a. Lè bagay sa a va rive, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè sèl Mèt la.
25 And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap wete nan men yo kay byen solid ki te tout pwoteksyon yo a, bèl kay ki te fè kè yo kontan an, kay yo te renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt yo a, kay yo te fèb anpil pou li a. M'ap wete l' ansanm ak pitit gason ak pitit fi yo.
26 on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
Jou sa a, yon moun va chape kò l', l'a kouri vin pote nouvèl la ba ou.
27 On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Menm jou sa a, w'a ka louvri bouch ou pale ak moun ki chape a. Wi, w'a ka pale, ou p'ap bèbè ankò. Se konsa ou va yon siy pou pèp la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
