< 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 known to Jerusalem her abominations.
“Fis a lòm, fè Jérusalem konnen abominasyon li yo.
3 And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your root and your lineage is from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Cethite.
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 And when you were born, on the day of your nativity, your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not washed with water for health, nor salted with salt, nor wrapped with cloths.
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 took pity on you, so as to do even one of these things to you, out of compassion for you. Instead, you were cast upon the face of the earth, in the abjection of your soul, on the day when you were born.
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 But, passing by you, I saw that you were wallowing in your own blood. And I said to you, when you were in your blood: ‘Live.’ I tell you that I said to you, in your blood: ‘Live.’
“‘“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 I multiplied you like the seedling of the field. And you were multiplied and became great, and you advanced and arrived at the ornament of a woman. Your breasts rose up, and your hair grew. And you were naked and full of shame.
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 And I passed by you and saw you. And behold, your time was the time of lovers. And I spread my garment over you, and I covered your disgrace. And I swore to you, and I entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God, 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 And I washed you with water, and I cleansed you of your blood. And I anointed 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 covered you with embroidery, and I put violet shoes upon you, and I wrapped you in fine linen, and I clothed you with delicate garments.
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 I adorned you with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon your hands and a necklace around 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 gold upon your face, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
Anplis, mwen te mete yon zanno nan nen ou, zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn nan tèt ou.
13 And you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were clothed in fine linen, woven with many colors. You ate fine flour, and honey, and oil. And you became very beautiful. And you advanced to royal power.
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 And your renown went forth among the Gentiles, because of your beauty. For you were perfected by my beauty, which I had placed upon you, says the Lord God.
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, having confidence in your own beauty, you fornicated in your fame. And you presented your fornication to every passer-by, so as to become his.
“‘“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 taking from your garments, you made for yourself exalted things, having sewed together disparate pieces. And you fornicated upon them, in a way that has not been done before, nor will be in the future.
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 your beautiful items, made of my gold and my silver, which I gave to you, and you made for yourself images of men, and you fornicated 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 used your multicolored vestments to cover these things. And you placed my oil and my incense 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 to you, the fine flour, and the oil, and the honey, by which I nourished you, you placed in their sight as a sweet fragrance. And so it was done, says the Lord God.
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 you bore for me, and you immolated them to be devoured. Is your fornication a small matter?
“‘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 You have immolated my sons, and you have consecrated and delivered my sons 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 after all your abominations and fornications, you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and full of shame, wallowing in your own 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 happened that, after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you, says the Lord God)
“‘Konsa, li te vin rive apre tout mechanste ou yo—Malè, malè a ou menm!’, deklare Senyè BONDYE —
24 you built for yourself a brothel, and you made for yourself a place of prostitution in every street.
“Ke ou te bati pou kont ou yon lotèl, e te fè yon wo plas tout kote.
25 At the head of every way, you set up a banner of your prostitution. And you caused your beauty to become abominable. And you distributed your feet to every passer-by. And you multiplied your fornications.
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 fornicated with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors, who have large bodies. And you multiplied your fornications, so as to provoke me.
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 Behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will take away your justification. And I will give you to the souls of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your wicked way.
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 You also fornicated with the sons of the Assyrians, for you were not yet done. And after you fornicated, even then, you were not satisfied.
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 multiplied your fornications in the land of Canaan with the Chaldeans. And even then, you were not satisfied.
Anplis, ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an ak peyi komèsan yo, Chaldée. Menm malgre sa, ou pa t satisfè.
30 With what can I cleanse your heart, says the Lord God, since you do all these things, the works of a woman who is a shameless prostitute?
“‘“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 built your brothel at the head of every way, and you have made your exalted place on every street. And you have not even been like a choosy prostitute, increasing her price,
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 but instead like a woman who is an adulteress, who prefers strangers to her own husband.
“‘“Ou menm, fanm adiltè, ki pran etranje olye de mari li!
33 Wages are given to all prostitutes. But you have given wages to all your lovers, and you have given gifts to them, so that they would enter to you from every side, in order to fornicate with you.
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 it is done with you, in your fornications, contrary to the custom of women, and even after you, there will be no such fornication. For in as much as you have given payment, and not taken payment, what has been done in you is the contrary.”
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 Because of this, O harlot, listen to the word of the Lord.
“Pou sa, O pwostitiye, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
36 Thus says the Lord God: “Because your money has been poured out, and your disgrace has been uncovered, in your fornications with your lovers and with the idols of your abominations, in the blood of your sons, whom 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 Behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have united, and all those whom you have loved, together with all those whom you have hated. And I will gather them together against you on every side. And I will uncover your disgrace before them, and they will see all your indecency.
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 I will judge you with the judgment of adulteresses and of those who shed blood. And I will give you over to blood, in fury and in zeal.
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 And I will deliver you into their hands. And they will destroy your brothel and demolish your place of prostitution. And they will strip you of your vestments. And they will take away the ornaments of your beauty. And they will leave you behind, naked and full of disgrace.
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 lead over you a multitude. And they will stone you with stones, and massacre 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 burn up your houses with fire, and they will carry out judgments against you in the sight of many women. And you will cease from fornication, and 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 my indignation will be quieted in you. And my zeal will be taken from you. And I will rest, and no longer be angry.
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 For you have not remembered the days of your youth, and you have provoked me in all these things. Because of this, I also have delivered all your ways upon your head, says the Lord God, but I have not acted in accord with your wickedness in all your abominations.
“‘“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 Behold, all who speak a common proverb will take this up against you, saying: ‘Like the mother, so also 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 your mother’s daughter, for she cast away her husband and her children. And you are the sister of your sisters, for they cast away their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Cethite, and your father was 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 And your older sister is Samaria, she and her daughters are those who live to your left. But your younger sister, who lives to your right, 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 But neither have you walked in their ways. For you have done only a little less compared to their wickedness. You have acted almost more wickedly, in all your ways, than they have acted.
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 As I live, says the Lord God, your sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as 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 Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom, your sister: arrogance, indulgence in bread and abundance, and the idleness of her and her daughters; and they did not reach out their hand to the needy and the poor.
“‘“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 And they were exalted, and they committed abominations before me. And so I took them away, just 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 But Samaria has not committed even half of your sins. For you have exceeded them in your wickedness, and you have justified your sisters by all your abominations, which you have wrought.
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 Therefore, you also bear your shame, for you have exceeded your sisters with your sins, acting more wickedly than they did. So they have been justified above you. By this also, you are confounded, and you bear your disgrace, for you have justified your sisters.
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 But I will convert and restore them, by converting Sodom with her daughters, and by converting Samaria and her daughters. And I will convert your return in their midst.
“‘“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 may you bear your disgrace and be confounded over all that you have done, consoling them.
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 sister Sodom and her daughters will return to their ancient state. And Samaria and her daughters will return to their ancient state. And you and your daughters will be returned to your ancient state.
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 Your sister Sodom was not heard from your mouth, then, 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 malice was revealed, as it is at this time, with the reproach of the daughters of Syria and of all the daughters of Palestine, who surround you, who encircle you on every side.
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 You have borne your wickedness and your disgrace, says the Lord God.”
Ou te pote pinisyon zak lèd ou te fè, ak tout abominasyon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
59 For thus says the Lord God: “I will act toward you, just as you have despised the oath, so that you would make void the covenant.
“‘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 And I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth. And I will raise up for you an everlasting covenant.
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 And you shall remember your ways and be confounded, when you will have received your sisters, your elder with your younger. And I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.
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 raise up my covenant with you. And you shall know 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 may you remember and be confounded. And it will no longer be for you to open your mouth, because of your shame, when I will have been pacified toward you over all that you have done, says the Lord God.”
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.’”
