Jezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
Li te vin rive nan sizyèm ane, sou senkyèm jou, nan sizyèm mwa a, pandan mwen te chita lakay mwen ak ansyen a Juda yo ki te chita devan m, ke men Senyè BONDYE a te tonbe sou mwen la.
2 And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
Answit, mwen te gade e vwala, yon imaj kon aparans a yon nonm—soti nan ren li pou rive anba, te gen aparans dife e soti nan ren li pou monte, aparans yon bagay briyan tankou metal k ap klere.
3 And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
Li te lonje yon bagay sanblab ak yon men, e li te kenbe m nan cheve m nan pati dèyè tèt mwen. Konsa, Lespri a te leve m monte rive antre tè a ak syèl la, e li te mennen mwen nan vizyon Bondye yo pou rive Jérusalem nan antre kote nò nan pòtay pa anndan an, kote ki te gen chèz pou zidòl ki rele jalouzi a, ki konn pwovoke jalouzi a.
4 And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
Gade byen, glwa Bondye Israël la te la, tankou aparans ke m te wè nan plèn nan.
5 And he said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes towards the north. So I lifted up mine eyes towards the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north towards the eastern gate.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, leve zye ou koulye a vè nò.” Konsa, mwen te leve zye m vè nò, e gade byen, nan nò a pòtay lotèl, se te zidòl jalouzi a ki te nan antre a.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and you shall see yet greater iniquities.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè ki sa y ap fè, gwo abominasyon ke lakay Israël ap fè isit la, pou m ta kite sanktyè Mwen an? Malgre toujou, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo.”
7 And he brought me to the porch of the court.
Li te mennen m nan antre lakou enteryè a, e lè m te gade, vwala, yon twou nan mi an.
8 And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an.” Konsa, mwen te fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an e vwala, yon pòt pou antre.
9 And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
Li te di mwen: “Antre ladann pou wè abominasyon mechan ke y ap komèt isit la.”
10 So I went in and looked; and saw vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
Konsa, mwen te antre e vwala, tout fòm bagay ki trennen atè, bèt ak bagay abominab, ak tout zidòl lakay Israël yo te grave kon desen sou mi an toutotou li.
11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
Epi te kanpe devan yo, swasann-dis lansyen a lakay Israël yo, e Jaazania, fis a Schaphan an, te kanpe nan mitan yo, chak moun ak pwòp veso lansan li, e odè nwaj lansan an a t ap leve.
12 And he said to me, You have seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
Epi Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè sa ke ansyen lakay Israël yo ap komèt nan fènwa a, chak moun nan chanm a pwòp imaj taye li? Paske men ki sa y ap di: ‘SENYÈ a pa wè nou. SENYÈ a fin abandone peyi a.’”
13 And he said to me, You shall see yet greater iniquities which these do.
Epi Li te di mwen: “Malgre sa, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo ke y ap komèt.”
14 And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
Konsa, Li te mennen mwen nan antre a pòtay lakay SENYÈ a ki te vè nò; epi vwala, te gen fanm la ki t ap kriye pou Thammuz.
15 And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen; but you shall yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Malgre sa, ou va wè pi gwo abominasyon ke sa yo.”
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
Konsa, Li te mennen mwen antre nan lakou enteryè lakay SENYÈ a. Epi vwala, nan antre tanp SENYÈ a, antre galri ak lotèl la, anviwon venn-senk òm, avèk do yo bay tanp SENYÈ a, e figi yo vè lès. Epi yo t ap pwostène yo nan lès vè solèy la.
17 And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Èske se yon bagay twò piti pou lakay Juda ta komèt abominasyon ke yo te komèt isit la? Paske yo te ranpli peyi a ak vyolans e te pwovoke M plizyè fwa? Gade byen, y ap vekse M menm ak ti branch bwa yo poze sou nen yo.
18 Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
Akoz sa, anverite, Mwen va aji ak gwo kòlè. Zye m p ap gen pitye, ni Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn. Malgre yo kriye nan zòrèy Mwen ak gwo vwa, malgre sa, Mwen p ap koute yo.”
