< Ezekiel 26 >
1 Now in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Nan premye jou mwa a nan onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;
-Nonm o! Lavil Tir pa t' manke kontan. Men sa li t'ap di sou lavil Jerizalèm: Li fini! Li pa ka fè gwo kòmès li te konn fè anvan an. Koulye a, wout kòmès la louvri gran louvri pou mwen. Pa gen anyen lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, I am against you, O Tyre, and will send up a number of nations against you as the sea sends up its waves.
Enben, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap leve dèyè nou tou, nou menm moun lavil Tir. Mwen pral mennen anpil nasyon vin atake nou. Yo pral vin sou nou yonn apre lòt tankou lanm lanmè.
4 And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock
Yo pral kraze miray ranpa lavil yo. Y'ap demoli gwo fò won yo. Lèfini, m'ap pote tout pousyè a ale. M'ap kite wòch yo griyen konsa.
5 She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.
Pechè yo pral mete senn cheche sou yo, la kote lavil la te kanpe nan mitan lanmè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa. Nasyon yo pral piye lavil la.
6 And her daughters in the open country will be put to the sword: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Yo pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a ak nepe. Lè sa a, lavil Tir va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will send up from the north Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and war-carriages and with an army and great numbers of people.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Mwen pral voye Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pi gran wa pase tout wa yo, vin atake Tir. L'ap soti nan nò avèk chwal, cha lagè, kavalye ak yon gwo lame sòlda.
8 He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.
Li pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a. Li pral fouye gwo kannal, li pral anpile ranblè tout arebò ou. Li pral moute yon miray ak plak fè pou pare kou.
9 He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.
Li pral frape sou miray yo avèk gwo poto. Li pral demoli gwo fò won yo ak gwo pens fè.
10 Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.
Tèlman pral gen chwal, chwal yo pral leve yon gwo nwaj pousyè dèyè yo ki pral kouvri lavil la. Lè kavalye l' yo ap pase sou chwal yo, lè cha lagè yo ak kabwa pwovizyon yo ap pase antre nan pòtay ou yo, miray yo pral tranble. Yo pral antre nan lavil la tankou si miray yo te tonbe.
11 Your streets will be stamped down by the feet of his horses: he will put your people to the sword, and will send down the pillars of your strength to the earth.
Nou pral tande bri zago chwal li yo nan tout lari yo. L'ap fè yo touye tout moun ak nepe. Bèl gwo poto solid ou yo pral tonbe atè.
12 They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.
Yo pral pran tout richès ou yo, yo pral piye tout machandiz ou yo. Y'ap kraze tout miray ou yo, y'ap demoli tout bèl kay ou yo. Y'ap pran wòch yo, bwa yo ak tout rès demoli yo, y'ap jete yo nan lanmè.
13 I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.
M'ap fè nou sispann chante. Yo p'ap tande mizik gita nou yo ankò.
14 I will make you an uncovered rock: you will be a place for the stretching out of nets; there will be no building you up again: for I the Lord have said it, says the Lord.
Lavil la pral tounen yon gwo pil wòch, se la pechè yo pral cheche senn yo. Yo p'ap janm rebati lavil la ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun lavil Tir yo: Lè lavil la va tonbe nan men lènmi l' yo, lè y'a pran masakre moun ladan l', lè moun y'ap touye yo ap rele, moun ki rete tout bò gwo lanmè a va tranble.
16 Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.
Tout wa peyi k'ap fè kòmès sou lanmè a ap desann soti sou fotèy yo, y'ap wete gwo manto ak bèl rad bwode ki te sou yo. Yo pral chita atè sitèlman y'ap pè. Yo pral sitèlman sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'ap tranble san rete.
17 And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!
Yo pral plenn sò ou. Yo pral di: -Gade yon malè! Gwo lavil la disparèt! Tout batiman l' yo koule! Jan moun lavil sa yo te mèt lanmè a! Yo te fè tout moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a pè yo.
18 Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.
Koulye a, tout moun bò gwo lanmè yo ap tranble lè y'a wè ou tonbe nan men lènmi ou yo. Wi, moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a p'ap konn sa pou yo fè lè y'a wè jan ou fini an!
19 For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.
Paske, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap fè ou tounen yon dezè, tankou lavil kote pa gen moun rete. M'ap fè dlo lanmè a leve dèyè ou, l'ap kouvri ou nèt ale.
20 Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.
M'ap fè nou desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap voye nou al jwenn moun ki mouri depi lontan yo. M'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi ki anba tè a, kote nou pral rete pou kont nou, pou tout tan ansanm ak moun ki mouri deja yo. Konsa, nou p'ap gen plas nou ankò sou latè pami vivan yo.
21 I will make you a thing of fear, and you will come to an end: even if you are looked for, you will not be seen again for ever, says the Lord.
Mwen pral fè tout moun pè lè yo wè sa ki rive nou. Se konsa n'a fini. Moun va chache nou, men yo p'ap janm jwenn nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
