Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;
“Fis a lòm, pwofetize kont pwofèt Israël ki pwofetize. Di a sila kap pwofetize pawòl ki soti nan pwòp enspirasyon pa yo, ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a:
3 This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a pwofèt san konprann k ap swiv pwòp lespri pa yo, e ki pa t vrèman wè anyen.
4 O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.
O Israël, pwofèt nou yo te tankou rena pami pil mazi ki fin kraze.
5 You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.
Nou pa t antre nan brèch yo, ni nou pa t bati yon miray pou antoure lakay Israël pou l ta ka kanpe nan batay nan jou SENYÈ a.
6 They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.
Yo wè tout sa ki fo, ak divinò k ap bay manti yo, k ap di: ‘Pawòl SENYÈ a deklare’, lè se pa SENYÈ a ki te voye yo. Malgre sa, yo gen espwa ke pawòl yo va vin akonpli.
7 Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?
Èske nou pa t fè yon fo vizyon, e pale ak lang ki t ap bay manti lè nou te di: ‘SENYÈ a deklare’, men se pa Mwen ki te pale a?”’”
8 So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz nou te pale sa ki fo, e te wè yon manti; akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen kont nou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
9 And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
“Konsa, men Mwen va kont pwofèt yo ki fè fo vizyon yo; ki pale divinasyon ki manti yo. Yo p ap gen plas nan konsèy a pèp Mwen an ni yo p ap ekri nan rejis lakay Israël yo. Ni yo p ap antre nan peyi Israël la. Konsa, nou ka konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”
10 Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:
“‘Akoz, anverite yo te egare pèp Mwen an lè yo te di: “Lapè,” lè pa t gen lapè. Lè nenpòt moun bati yon miray, gade byen, yo fè l randwi ak lacho.
11 Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.
Donk, pale a sila ki randwi li ak lacho yo, ke li va tonbe. Yon inondasyon lapli va vini, e nou menm, o gran lagrèl, va tonbe. Yon van vyolan va pete l.
12 And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?
Gade byen, lè miray la fin tonbe, èske yo p ap mande nou: “Kote lacho ke nou te sèvi nan randwi li a?”
13 For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.
“‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va fè yon van vyolan vin pete nan kòlè Mwen. Anplis, va genyen nan mekontantman Mwen, yon inondasyon lapli ak lagrèl pou konsonmen li nèt ak gwo laraj.
14 So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
Konsa, Mwen va demoli miray ke nou te kouvri ak randisaj la jis rive atè, jis fondasyon li yo fin ekspoze nèt. Epi lè l tonbe, nou va vin manje nan mitan li. Epi nou va vin konprann ke se Mwen ki SENYÈ a.
15 So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?
Se konsa, Mwen va pase kòlè Mwen sou miray la ak sou sila ki te fè randisaj ak lacho sou li yo. Mwen va di nou, ‘Miray la pa la ankò, ni bòs randisaj yo pa la ankò.
16 Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
Konsa ak pwofèt Israël sa yo ki pwofetize a Jérusalem yo, ki te fè vizyon lapè pou li yo, lè pat gen lapè a,’” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
17 And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,
Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont fi a pèp ou yo, k ap pwofetize apati pwòp enspirasyon yo. Se pou ou pwofetize kont yo,
18 This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?
pou di: “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Malè a fanm ki koud braslè kon wanga sou tout ponyèt yo e fè vwal yo pou tèt moun tout wotè, pou fè lachas moun! Èske nou va chase nanm a pèp Mwen an, men konsève nanm a lòt yo pou nou menm?
19 And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.
Pou yon men ki plen ak lòj ak kèk grenn pen, nou te degrade Mwen a pèp Mwen an, pou fè lantre nan lanmò kèk nanm ki pa ta dwe mouri, e kenbe vivan lòt ki pa ta dwe viv, nan fè manti ou a pèp Mwen an ki koute manti.’”
20 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont braslè wanga nou yo, avèk sila nou chache lavi moun, tankou se zwazo yo. Mwen va rache yo nan bra nou. Epi Mwen va lage nanm sa yo lib, menm nanm de sila ke nou kapte, tankou se zwazo yo.
21 And I will have your veils violently parted in two, and will make my people free from your hands, and they will no longer be in your power for you to go after them; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Anplis, Mwen va chire vwal nou yo, Mwen va delivre pèp Mwen an soti nan men nou, e yo p ap nan men nou ankò pou fè viktim lachas. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
22 Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:
Akoz nou te dekouraje moun ladwati a lè Mwen pa t fè yo trist; epi nou te ankouraje mechan an pou l pa kite mechanste li, pou l sove,
23 For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
pou sa, nou p ap fè fo vizyon ankò, ni pratike divinasyon. Mwen va delivre pèp Mwen an sòti nan men nou. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
