< Ezekiel 8 >
1 In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.
Nan senkyèm jou sizyèm mwa nan sizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp la, mwen te chita lakay mwen ansanm ak chèf pèp Jida yo ki te reyini lakay mwen. Mwen rete konsa mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye Sèl Mèt la, desann sou mwen.
2 Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.
Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun. Depi nan ren l' desann, kò l' te tankou yon flanm dife. Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere tankou kwiv byen poli.
3 He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
Mwen wè l' lonje men l' tankou men yon moun, li pran m' nan cheve. Nan vizyon an, li leve m' byen wo nan syèl la, li mennen m' lavil Jerizalèm, devan pòtay anndan ki bay sou bò nò a, kote yo te mete yon estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè.
4 And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
La, mwen wè yon gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te la, menm jan mwen te wè l' nan fon an.
5 “Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Vire je ou gade bò nan nò! Mwen vire je m' gade bò nan nò. Mwen wè toupre lotèl ki bò pòtay kote moun pase pou antre a, estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè a.
6 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa y'ap fè? Gade tout bagay derespektan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè pou yo fè m' kite tanp mwen an. Ou gen pou wè bagay ki pi mal pase sa toujou.
7 Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
Li pran m', li mennen m' nan pòtay ki bay sou lakou anndan an, li moutre m' yon twou nan miray la.
8 “Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Fè yon gwo twou nan miray la. Mwen fè gwo twou a. Lèfini, mwen jwenn yon pòt.
9 Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
Li di m' konsa: -Louvri pòt la antre! Gade tout kalite vye bagay derespektan moun sa yo ap fè la a!
10 So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
Mwen antre, mwen gade. Tout miray la nèt te kouvri ak pòtre koulèv, pòtre tout kalite bèt yo pa gen dwa manje ak pòtre lòt vye zidòl moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap sèvi.
11 Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
Swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te kanpe la devan zidòl yo. Yonn ladan yo te Jazanya, pitit Chafan an. Yo chak te kenbe yon lansanswa nan men yo. Gwo lafimen lansan t'ap moute.
12 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè an kachèt? Yo rete ap fè sèvis nan yon chanm kay plen zidòl. Men eskiz yo bay: O wi! Bondye pa wè nou! Bondye vire do l' bay peyi a!
13 Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Ou gen pou wè yo ap fè bagay ki pi derespektan toujou.
14 Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.
Lè sa a, li mennen m' bò pòtay nò tanp lan, li moutre m' yon bann fanm ki chita ap kenbe yon rèl lanmò pou zidòl yo rele Tamouz la.
15 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Ou wè sa, pa vre? Ou gen pou ou wè gwo bagay pi derespektan ankò y'ap fè.
16 So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
Li mennen m' nan lakou anndan tanp lan. Mwen wè vennsenk nèg konsa kanpe bò pòt pou antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, nan mitan lotèl la ak galeri a. Yo te bay tanp lan do. Fas yo vire bò solèy leve. Yo bese tèt yo byen ba, y'ap fè sèvis pou solèy la k'ap leve.
17 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa? Moun peyi Jida sa yo ap fè tout vye bagay derespektan y'ap plede fè yo. Y'ap mache fè mechanste nan tout peyi a. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, se pou yo vini jouk isit la nan tanp lan pou fè yo, pou yo fè m' pi move toujou. Men y'ap fè move jès pou derespekte m', yo mete yon ti branch bwa anba nen yo.
18 Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”
Mwen menm tou mwen pral fè yo santi jan mwen move sou yo. Yo mèt rele byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen p'ap tande yo. Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo. Yo mèt rele jan yo vle nan zòrèy mwen, mwen p'ap pran priyè.
