Ezekiel 5
1 And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.
“Pou ou menm, Fis a lòm, pran yon nepe byen file. Pran l pou sèvi kon razwa sou tèt ou ak bab ou. Epi pran yon balans pou peze e divize cheve a.
2 You are to have a third part burned with fire inside the town, when the days of the attack are ended; and a third part you are to take and give blows with the sword round about it; and give a third part for the wind to take away, and let loose a sword after them.
Yon tyè, ou va brile nan dife nan mitan vil la, lè jou syèj yo vin fini. Epi ou va pran yon tyè e frape l avèk nepe toupatou nan vil la e yon tyè, ou va gaye nan van. Konsa, Mwen va rale yon nepe fè l sòti nan fouwo pa dèyè yo.
3 And take from them a small number of hairs, folding them in your skirts.
Pran osi, kèk grenn nan cheve a, pa anpil, e mare yo nan pwent wòb ou.
4 And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,
Ankò, pran kèk nan yo pou jete nan dife, e brile yo nan dife a. Soti nan li, yon dife va gaye rive nan tout lakay Israël la.
5 This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side;
“Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Sa se Jérusalem. Mwen te mete li nan mitan a nasyon yo ak peyi ki antoure li yo.
6 And she has gone against my orders by doing evil more than the nations, and against my rules more than the countries round her: for they have given up my orders, and as for my rules, they have not gone in the way of them.
Men li te fè rebèl kont lòd Mwen yo pi mal pase nasyon yo, e kont règleman Mwen yo, plis ke peyi ki antoure li yo. Paske yo te rejte lòd Mwen yo, e pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo.’
7 For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have been more uncontrolled than the nations round about you, and have not been guided by my rules or kept my orders, but have kept the orders of the nations round about you;
“Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz ou gen plis twoub pase nasyon ki te antoure ou yo, ou pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd a nasyon ki te antoure ou yo’;
8 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I, even I, am against you; and I will be judging among you before the eyes of the nations.
akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen, Mwen menm kont ou, e Mwen va egzekite jijman pami nou pou tout lòt nasyon yo ka wè.
9 And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.
Akoz tout abominasyon nou yo, Mwen va fè pami nou sa ke Mwen pa t fè, e tankou sa Mwen p ap janm fè ankò.
10 For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.
Pou sa, papa yo va manje fis yo pami nou, e fis yo va manje papa yo. Paske Mwen va egzekite jijman sou nou e gaye tout retay nou yo nan tout van.
11 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.
Jan Mwen viv la’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Anverite, akoz nou te souye Sanktyè pa M nan ak tout zidòl abominab nou yo, e ak tout abominasyon nou yo, konsa M ap desann nou. Pou sa, Zye m p ap gen pitye, e Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn.
12 A third of you will come to death from disease, wasting away among you through need of food; a third will be put to the sword round about you; and a third I will send away to every wind, letting loose a sword after them.
Yon tyè nan nou va mouri akoz epidemi. Yo va vin mouri nan gwo grangou nan mitan nou. Yon tyè va tonbe devan nepe ki toupatou nou. Yon tyè, mwen va gaye nan tout van yo, e Mwen va rale yon nepe dèyè yo.’”
13 So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them; and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.
Konsa, kòlè M va achevi. Mwen va satisfè gwo mekontantman Mwen sou yo, e Mwen va satisfè. Epi yo va vin konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale ak zèl lè Mwen te achevi kòlè Mwen sou yo a.
14 And I will make you a waste and a name of shame among the nations round about you, in the eyes of everyone who goes by.
“‘Anplis, Mwen va fè ou vin yon kote dezole ak yon objè repwòch pami nasyon ki antoure ou yo, nan zye a tout sila ki pase la yo.
15 And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:
Konsa, sa va yon repwòch, yon ensilt, yon avètisman e yon objè degoutan pou nasyon ki antoure ou yo lè Mwen egzekite jijman kontra ou nan kòlè Mwen, mekontantman, ak repwòch plen ak raj— Mwen, SENYÈ a fin pale—
16 When I send on you the evil arrows of disease, causing destruction, which I will send to put an end to you; and, further, I will take away your necessary food.
lè Mwen voye kont yo flèch mechan yo, kon gwo grangou a, yon flèch ki te voye pou detwi nou. Mwen va osi fè gwo grangou a vin pi rèd sou ou e va kase retire sous pen an.
17 And I will send on you need of food and evil beasts, and they will be a cause of loss to you; and disease and violent death will go through you; and I will send the sword on you: I the Lord have said it.
Anplis, Mwen va voye sou ou gwo grangou, ak bèt sovaj yo e yo va fè ou soufre gwo pèt. Epidemi ak vèse san va rive sou ou. Mwen va mennen nepe sou ou. Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale sa a.’”
