Ezekiel 2
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Kanpe non! Mwen pral pale avè ou.
2 And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
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3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this 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 those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
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 Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
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 But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
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 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
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 as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to 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 I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
M' gade, mwen wè yon men lonje sou mwen. Li te kenbe yon woulo liv tou fèmen.
10 And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
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.
