Ezekiel 16

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

2 Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

“Fis a lòm, fè Jérusalem konnen abominasyon li yo.

3 And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

Di li: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a Jérusalem: “Orijin ou ak nesans ou se te nan peyi Canaan, papa ou se te yon Amoreyen e manman ou yon Etyèn.

4 As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

Pou nesans ou, nan jou ou te fèt la, kòd lonbrit ou pa t koupe, ni ou pa t lave ak dlo pou vin pwòp. Ou pa t fwote ak sèl, ni menm vlope nan rad.

5 No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

Pa t gen zye ki te gen pitye pou ou, ni ki te gen konpasyon pou ou. Pito ou te jete nan yon chan ouvri, paske yo te twouve ou abominab depi jou ke ou te fèt la.

6 And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;

“‘“Lè m te pase bò kote ou, e Mwen te wè ou t ap tòde nan san ou, Mwen te di ou pandan ou te nan san ou an: ‘Viv’! Wi, Mwen te di ou pandan ou te nan san ou an: ‘Viv’!

7 And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

Mwen te fè ou vin anpil, tankou plant nan chan yo. Ou te vin grandi, ou te vin wo, e ou te vin rive nan laj pou bèl flè. Tete ou te fòme e cheve ou te grandi. Malgre sa, ou te toutouni e san rad.

8 Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

“‘“Mwen te pase bò kote ou pou te wè ou e gade byen, ou te vin nan lè pou fè renmen. Alò konsa, mwen te lonje jip Mwen sou ou pou te kouvri toutouni ou an. Anplis, Mwen te sèmante a ou menm, e te antre nan yon akò avèk ou pou ou te vin pou Mwen,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

9 Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

“‘“Mwen te benyen ou ak dlo, lave fè san sòti sou ou e Mwen te onksyone ou avèk lwil.

10 And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

Anplis, Mwen te abiye ou ak twal ak bèl bwodri, Mwen te mete sandal fèt ak po bazann nan pye ou. Mwen te vlope ou ak len fen e te kouvri ou ak swa.

11 And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

Mwen te fè ou bèl ak dekorasyon. Mwen te mete braslè nan men ou ak yon kolye nan kou ou.

12 And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

Anplis, mwen te mete yon zanno nan nen ou, zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn nan tèt ou.

13 So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

Konsa, ou te anbeli ak lò ak ajan e wòb ou te fèt ak len fen, oswa ak twal bwodri. Ou te manje farin fen, siwo myèl, ak lwil. Konsa, ou te tèlman vin bèl, e vin avanse nan yon pozisyon wayal.

14 You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

Answit, rekonesans ou te ale toupatou pami nasyon yo akoz bèlte ou. Paske li te pafè, akoz mayifisans ke Mwen te fè poze sou ou a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

15 But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

“‘“Men ou te mete konfyans nan bèlte ou; ou te jwe pwostitiye akoz tout rekonesans ou. Ou te vide pwostitisyon ou an nan tout moun ale vini ki te disponib.

16 And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

Ou te pran kèk nan rad ou yo, pou fè pou kont ou wo plas ak plizyè koulè, e te jwe pwostitiye ak yo. Sa a pa ta janm dwe rive, ni li pa p fèt.

17 And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

Anplis, ou te pran bèl bijou ou yo, fèt ak lò ak ajan pa M, ke M te bay ou. Ak yo ou te fè pou kont ou imaj a gason pou ou te ka jwe pwostitiye ak yo.

18 And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

Epi ou te pran twal bwodri ou a pou te kouvri yo, e te ofri lwil ak lansan Mwen an devan yo.

19 And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

Anplis, pen Mwen an, ke M te bay ou a, farin fen, lwil ak siwo myèl, avèk sila Mwen te konn bay ou manje yo, ou te ofri yo devan yo kon yon odè santi bon. Se konsa sa te rive,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

20 And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

“‘Anplis, ou te pran fis ak fi ke ou te fè pou Mwen yo, e ou te sèvi yo kon sakrifis a zidòl pou yo ta ka vin devore. Èske afè pwostitisyon ou an te yon ti bagay piti?

21 That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?

Ou te fè labatwa ak pitit Mwen yo, e te ofri yo bay zidòl, lè ou koze yo pase nan dife.

22 And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

Anplis ke tout abominasyon ak pwostitisyon ou yo, ou pa t sonje jou jenès ou yo, lè ou te toutouni, san rad e t ap tòde nan pwòp san ou an.

23 And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

“‘Konsa, li te vin rive apre tout mechanste ou yo—Malè, malè a ou menm!’, deklare Senyè BONDYE —

24 That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

“Ke ou te bati pou kont ou yon lotèl, e te fè yon wo plas tout kote.

25 You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

Ou te bati pou kont ou yon wo plas nan pwent anwo nan tout lari, ou te fè belte ou vin abominab e ou te ouvri janm ou pou tout ale vini pou ogmante pwostitisyon ou an.

26 And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

Anplis, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak Ejipsyen yo, vwazen ou yo ak gwo anvi lachè e ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an pou fè m vin fache.

27 Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

Gade byen, Mwen te lonje men M kont ou pou te diminye nan sa ki te pou ou yo. Epi Mwen te livre ou a volonte a sila ki rayi ou yo, fi a Filisten yo, ki wont devan kondwit lèd ou a.

28 And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

Anplis, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak Asiryen yo akoz ou pa t satisfè. Wi, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak yo e ou te toujou pa satisfè a.

29 And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.

Anplis, ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an ak peyi komèsan yo, Chaldée. Menm malgre sa, ou pa t satisfè.

30 How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;

“‘“A la kè ou fèb!” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “pandan w ap fè tout bagay sa yo, aksyon a yon pwostitiye ki san wont.

31 For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.

Lè ou te bati lotèl ou yo nan pwent a tout lari a, e te fè wo plas ou yo tout kote yo, san menm mande kòb, ou pa t sanble a yon pwostitiye.

32 The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

“‘“Ou menm, fanm adiltè, ki pran etranje olye de mari li!

33 They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

Mesye yo konn bay kado a tout pwostitiye, men ou te bay kado ou a tout moun ki renmen ou yo pou rale yo vin kote ou sòti nan tout direksyon pou zak pwostitisyon ou yo.

34 And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

Konsa, ou apà de fanm sa yo nan fè pwostitisyon ou an. Nan sa, nanpwen moun ki jwe pwostitiye tankou ou. Ou menm konn vèse lajan olye resevwa lajan. Konsa, ou apà.”’

35 For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:

“Pou sa, O pwostitiye, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.

36 This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz bagay lèd ou yo te vin vide nèt, toutouni ou a te fin dekouvri nèt atravè pwostitisyon ou ak moun ki renmen ou yo, e ak tout zidòl abominab ou yo, e akoz san a fis ou ke ou te bay a zidòl yo,

37 For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen va rasanble tout moun ki renmen ou yo avèk sila ou te pran plezi yo, menm tout sila ke ou te renmen yo, ak tout sila ou te rayi yo. Konsa, Mwen va rasanble yo kont ou soti nan tout direksyon e Mwen va fè toutouni ou an vin parèt a yo menm pou yo ka wè toutouni ou an nèt.

38 And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

Konsa, Mwen va jije ou kon fanm k ap komèt adiltè, oswa k ap vèse san moun ta jije. Epi Mwen va mennen sou ou san gwo kòlè a ak jalouzi.

39 I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.

Anplis, Mwen va bay ou nan men a moun ki renmen ou yo, e yo va demoli tout lotèl ou yo, demoli wo plas ou yo, retire tout rad sou ou, retire tout bijou ou yo e kite ou toutouni, san rad.

40 And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

Yo va pouse yon gwo foul kont ou, yo va lapide ou e rache ou an mòso ak nepe yo.

41 And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

Yo va brile lakay ou ak dife e egzekite jijman sou ou devan zye anpil fanm. Nan lè sa a, mwen va fè ou sispann jwe pwostitiye e ou p ap peye moun ou renmen yo ankò.

42 And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.

Konsa, Mwen va kalme gwo chalè kòlè Mwen an kont ou. Jalouzi Mwen va kite ou, Mwen va vin satisfè e Mwen p ap fache ankò.

43 Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

“‘“Akoz ou pa t sonje jou jenès ou yo, men te fè m vin anraje akoz tout bagay sa yo; gade byen, Mwen, nan kou pa M nan, Mwen va desann tout kondwit ou a, sou pwòp tèt ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “pou ou pa komèt bagay lèd sa a pou mete sou tout lòt abominasyon ou yo.”

44 See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

“‘“Gade byen, tout moun ki site pwovèb va site pwovèb sila a konsènan ou menm. Yo va di: ‘Jan manman an ye a, se konsa fi a ye.’

45 You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

Ou se fi a manman ou, li te rayi mari li ak pitit li. Ou se, anplis, sè a sè ou yo, ki te rayi mari yo ak pitit yo. Manman ou te yon Etyèn e papa ou te yon Amoreyen.

46 Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

Alò, pi gran sè ou a se Samarie, ki viv sou kote nò ou, ak tout fi li yo; epi pi jèn sè ou a, ki rete nan kote sid ou a, se Sodome, ak tout fi li yo.

47 Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

Malgre sa, ou pa t sèlman mache nan chemen yo, oswa aji selon abominasyon yo; men konsi sa te twò piti, avan lontan, ou te aji pi konwonpi nan kondwit ou ke yo menm.

48 By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.

Kon Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Sodome, sè ou a, ak fi li yo pa t fè menm jan ak ou ak fi ou yo.

49 Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

“‘“Gade byen, sa se te koupabilite a sè ou a, Sodome: li menm ak fi li yo te gen awogans, anpil manje ak lavi alèz, men li pa t ede endijan ak malere yo.

50 They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

Konsa, yo te plen ògèy e te komèt abominasyon devan M. Pou sa, Mwen te retire yo lè M te wè sa.

51 And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

Anplis, Samarie pa t komèt mwatye nan peche ou yo, paske ou te ogmante abominasyon ou yo plis pase yo. Konsa, ou te fè sè ou a parèt dwat akoz tout abominasyon ke ou te komèt yo.

52 And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

Anplis, sipòte wont ou paske ou te fè jijman an vin favorab pou sè ou yo. Akoz peche nan sila ou te aji pi mal ke yo menm yo, yo vin pi dwat pase ou. Wi, anplis vin twouble nèt e sipòte wont ou an, akoz ou te fè sè ou yo parèt dwat.

53 And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

“‘“Malgre sa, Mwen va restore kaptivite yo, kaptivite Sodome ak fi li yo, kaptivite Samarie ak fi li yo, e ansanm avèk yo, kaptivite pa w,

54 So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

pou ou ka pote imilyasyon ou e sanse ou vin wont pou tout sa ou te fè lè ou te devni yon konsolasyon pou yo.

55 And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

Sè ou yo, Sodome ak fi li yo, e Samarie ak fi li yo, va retounen nan eta yo te ye a, e ou menm avèk fi ou yo va, anplis, retounen nan eta nou te ye a.

56 Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

Paske non a sè ou a, Sodome, pa t tande nan lèv ou nan jou ògèy ou a,

57 Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

avan mechanste ou te dekouvri a. Paske koulye a, ou devni repwòch a fi Syrie yo, e a tout sila ki antoure li yo, a fi a Filisten yo, sila ki antoure ou ki meprize ou yo.

58 The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

Ou te pote pinisyon zak lèd ou te fè, ak tout abominasyon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.

59 For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.

“‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va, anplis, fè avèk ou jan ou te fè a, ou menm ki te meprize sèman an, e ki te kraze akò a.

60 But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

Malgre sa, Mwen va sonje akò Mwen an avèk ou nan jou jenès ou yo, e Mwen va etabli yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk ou.

61 Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

Epi ou va sonje chemen ou yo, e ou va vin wont lè ou resevwa sè ou yo, ni pi gran, ni pi piti. Mwen va bay ou yo kon fi pa w, men pa selon akò ou a.

62 And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

Konsa, Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,

63 So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

pou ou ka sonje, vin wont, e pa janm ouvri bouch ou ankò akoz imilyasyon ou, pou lè M te padone ou pou tout sa ou te fè yo,” Senyè, BONDYE a deklare.’”
