< Ezekiel 2 >

1 And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Kanpe non! Mwen pral pale avè ou.
2 And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.
Antan l'ap pale konsa a, lespri Bondye antre sou mwen, li mete m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Epi m' tande vwa a ki pran pale ankò.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap voye ou bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se yon bann moun ki pa t' vle koute m', yo te vire do ban mwen. Jouk koulye a y' ap kenbe tèt avè m' tankou zansèt yo te fè l' nan tan lontan.
4 And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.
Yo gen tèt di, yo gen move santiman konsa nan kè yo. Men se bò kote moun sa yo m'ap voye ou pou di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m' voye di yo.
5 And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.
Mwen konnen se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di. Kit yo koute ou, kit yo pa koute ou, zafè yo! Men y'a konnen te gen yon pwofèt nan mitan yo.
6 And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
Men ou menm, nonm o! ou pa bezwen pè yo, ni ou pa bezwen pè sa y'ap di. Y'ap tizonnen ou, y'ap pase ou nan betiz. W'ap tankou yon moun k'ap mache nan yon jaden pikan, tankou yon moun ki chita sou yon nich flanman. Men, ou pa bezwen kite yo kraponnen ou ak sa y'ap di, ou pa bezwen pè yo. Se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di.
7 And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.
Se pou ou di yo tou sa m'a di ou di yo, yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou. Chonje se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
8 But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.
Nonm o! Koute sa m' pral di ou la a. Pa fè tèt di tankou move ras moun sa yo. Louvri bouch ou, manje sa m' pral ba ou la a.
9 And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;
M' gade, mwen wè yon men lonje sou mwen. Li te kenbe yon woulo liv tou fèmen.
10 And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
Li louvri liv la devan je m', mwen wè li te ekri sou tou de bò l' yo. Li te plen pawòl moun di lè y'ap plenn sò yo, lè yo nan gwo lapenn, lè y'ap soufri anpil.
