Ezekiel 27
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 “You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
-Nonm o! Chante pou plenn sò lavil Tir!
3 And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am of perfect beauty,
W'a pale ak moun lavil Tir yo, lavil ki kanpe bò lanmè a, lavil k'ap fè kòmès ak dènye moun ki rete bò lanmè, w'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: -Nou menm, moun lavil Tir, k'ap mache di: Pa gen pi bèl peyi pase peyi nou an!
4 for I have been positioned at the heart of the sea!’ Your neighbors, who built you, have filled up your beauty.
Fwontyè nou rive jouk nan mitan lanmè. Moun ki bati lavil la te bati l' tankou yon bèl batiman.
5 They constructed you with spruce from Senir, with all the planks of the sea. They have taken cedars from Lebanon, so that they might make a mast for you.
Yo te pran bwapen sou mòn Seni fè planch pou sèvi bòday nou yo. Yo pran yon bwa sèd peyi Liban pou fè ma pou nou.
6 They have formed your oars from the oaks of Bashan. And they have made your crossbeams from Indian ivory, and the pilothouse is from the islands of Italy.
Yo pran bwadchenn peyi Bazan pou fè zaviwon. Yo voye chache bwa sèd nan lil Chip pou fè pon an. Lèfini, yo plake moso ivwa sou tout pon an.
7 Colorful fine linen from Egypt was woven for you as a sail to be placed upon the mast; hyacinth and purple from the islands of Elishah were made into your covering.
Vwal batiman an te fèt ak bèl twal fin blan bwode ki soti peyi Lejip. Se te drapo pa nou sa! Kabin sou pon an te kouvri ak bèl twal violèt, bèl twal wouj ki soti nan lil Elicha.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and of Arwad were your rowers. Your wise ones, O Tyre, were your navigators.
Se gason ki soti lavil Sidon ak lavil Avad k'ap naje zaviwon pou ou. Men, se moun lavil la menm ki te fò anpil nan lamarin ki te maren sou batiman an.
9 The elders of Gebal and its experts were considered as sailors making use of your diverse equipment. All the ships of the sea and their sailors were your merchants among the people.
Se ansyen gwo bòs chapant lavil Gebal ak bon ouvriye yo ki te abò batiman an pou fè reparasyon. Maren tout batiman ki sou lanmè a vin fè trafik lakay ou.
10 The Persians, and the Lydians, and the Libyans were your men of war in your army. They suspended shield and helmet within you for your adornment.
Nan lame ou la se renk moun peyi Pès, moun peyi Loud ak moun peyi Pout ki t'ap sèvi. Yo konn fè lagè. Se nan kazèn ou yo yo te konn mete gwo plak fè pwotèj yo ak kas an fè yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou rive nan tout bèl pozisyon sa a.
11 The sons of Arwad were with your army upon your walls all around. And even the Gammadim, who were in your towers, suspended their quivers on your walls on all sides; they completed your beauty.
Sòlda ki soti lavil Avad ap veye sou tout miray ranpa ou yo. Sòlda ki soti lavil Gamad t'ap fè faksyonnè sou tout gwo fò won ou yo. Yo pandye plak fè pwotèj yo sou tout miray yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou bèl kont bèl ou.
12 The Carthaginians, your merchants, supplied your festivals with a multitude of diverse riches, with silver, iron, tin, and lead.
Moun lavil Tasis nan peyi Lespay vin fè kòmès ak ou, paske ou te gen tout kalite bèl bagay an kantite. Yo vann ou ajan, fè, fèblan ak plon pou yo te ka achte machandiz ou yo.
13 Greece, Tubal, and Meshech, these were your peddlers; they traveled to your people with slaves and with brass vessels.
Ou fè kòmès ak peyi Lagrès, ak lavil Toubal, ak lavi Mechèk. Yo vann ou esklav ak tout kalite bagay fèt an kwiv pou machandiz pa ou yo.
14 From the house of Togarmah, they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules to your market.
Ou fè trafik ak moun Togama. Ou vann yo machandiz pa ou. Pou peye ou, yo ba ou chwal pou travay, chwal pou fè lagè ak milèt.
15 The sons of Dedan were your merchants. The many islands were the marketplace of your hand. They traded teeth of ivory and of ebony for your price.
Moun lavil Wòd yo fè kòmès avèk ou tou. Moun anpil lòt peyi ki bò gwo lanmè a te fè pratik ak ou. Ou ba yo machandiz ou yo, yo peye ak gwo kòn ivwa ak bwa nwa.
16 The Syrian was your merchant. Because of the multitude of your works, they offered jewels, and purple, and patterned cloth, and fine linen, and silk, and other valuables in your market.
Moun peyi Siri yo fè komès avèk ou paske ou te gen anpil machandiz. Yo vann ou bèl pyè ki koute chè, bèl twal wouj, twal bwode, grenn koray, twal fin blan, ak pyè woubi. Ou menm, ou vann yo machandiz pa ou.
17 Judah and the land of Israel, these were your peddlers of the best grain; they offered balsam, and honey, and oil, and resins at your festivals.
Moun peyi Jida ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè kòmès avè ou tou. Pou peye ou, yo ba ou ble, pitimi, siwo myèl, lwil oliv ak zepis.
18 The Damascene was your trader in the multitude of your works, in greatly diverse wealth, in rich wine, in wool with the finest coloring.

Moun soti depi lavil Wazal, yo ba ou diven, fè fòje, kannèl ak zepis pou machandiz ou yo.
20 The men of Dedan were your peddlers of tapestries used as seats.
Moun lavil Dadan yo ba ou sèl ak chabrak pou machandiz ou yo.
21 Arabia and all the leaders of Kedar, these were the merchants at your hand. Your merchants came to you with lambs, and rams, and young goats.
Moun peyi Arabi yo ak chèf peyi Keda yo te pratik ou tou. Yo te vann ou ti mouton, belye mouton ak bouk kabrit.
22 The vendors of Sheba and Raamah, these were your merchants, with all the finest aromatics, and precious stones, and gold, which they offered in your marketplace.
Machann ki soti Seba ak Rema vin vann ou bon kalite zepis, bèl pyè ki koute chè ak lò.

24 These were your merchants in many places, with windings of hyacinth and of colorful weavings, and with precious treasures, which were wrapped and bound with cords. Also, they had works of cedar among your merchandise.
Yo vann ou bèl twal ki koute chè, twal wouj, twal bwode, bèl tapi tout koulè, bon kòd trese byen solid.
25 The ships of the sea were important to your business dealings. For you were replenished and exceedingly glorified in the heart of the sea.
Gwo batiman Tasis yo t'ap vwayaje toupatou al vann machandiz ou yo. Ou te tankou yon batiman chaje kouleba, nan mitan lanmè.
26 Your rowers have brought you into many waters. The south wind has worn you down in the heart of the sea.
Moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo te mennen ou byen lwen nan fon lanmè. Yon sèl van lès te fè ou koule byen lwen nan mitan lanmè.
27 Your riches, and your treasures, and your versatile equipment, your sailors and your navigators, who handle your goods and who were first among your people, likewise your men of war, who were among you, and your entire multitude that is in your midst: they will fall in the heart of the sea on the day of your ruin.
Tout richès ou yo, tout machandiz ou yo, ak tout pwovizyon ou yo ansanm ak tout maren ak tout moun k'ap travay pou ou yo, bòs chapant ki pou fè reparasyon pou ou yo, machann ou yo, tout sòlda ki te abò ou yo ansanm ak tout foul moun ki te nan batiman an, yo tout, wi, yo tout pèdi nan lanmè lè batiman ou lan koule.
28 Your fleets will be disturbed by the sound of an outcry from your navigators.
Rèl maren k'ap neye yo fè moun ki rete sou rivaj yo pran tranble.
29 And all who were handling the oar will descend from their ships; the sailors and all the navigators of the sea will stand upon the land.
Tout moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo desann atè, yo kite batiman yo. Tout maren yo rete atè.
30 And they will howl over you with a great voice, and they will cry out with bitterness. And they will cast dust upon their heads, and they will be sprinkled with ashes.
Y'ap kriye pou ou, y'ap plenn sò ou. Y'ap voye pousyè tè sou tèt yo, y'ap woule kò yo nan sann dife, tèlman y'ap nan lapenn.
31 And they will shave their heads because of you, and they will be wrapped in haircloth. And they will weep for you with bitterness of soul, with a very bitter weeping.
Yo koupe tout cheve nan tèt yo. Yo mete rad sak sou yo. Sa fè yo mal anpil pou ou. Yo dekouraje, y'ap plenn sò ou.
32 And they will take up a mournful verse over you, and they will lament you: ‘What city is like Tyre, which has become mute in the midst of the sea?’
Nan lapenn yo y'ap chante sou ou. Yo pral plenn sò ou ak dlo nan je. Y'ap di: Pa te gen tankou lavil Tir ki koulye a koule nan fon lanmè!
33 For by the going forth of your merchandise by sea, you supplied many peoples; by the multitude of your riches and of your people, you enriched the kings of the earth.
Lè ou voye machandiz ou yo vann lòt bò dlo, tout nasyon yo jwenn sa yo bezwen. Avèk kantite machandiz ak danre ou yo, ou te fè anpil wa vin rich.
34 Now you have been worn away by the sea, your opulence is in the depths of the waters, and your entire multitude that was in your midst has fallen.
Koulye a, ou koule nan fon lanmè. Tout machandiz ou yo, tout moun ki t'ap travay pou ou yo disparèt ansanm avè ou nan lanmè.
35 All the inhabitants of the islands have been stupefied over you; and all their kings, having been struck by the tempest, have changed their expression.
Tout moun ki rete nan peyi bò gwo lanmè a sezi tande sa ki rive ou. Ata wa yo gen kè sote. Yo kagou sitèlman yo pè.
36 The merchants of the peoples have hissed over you. You have been reduced to nothing, and you shall not be again, even forever.”
Moun k'ap fè kòmès nan lòt peyi yo sezi, yo pè pou sa ki rive ou la pa rive yo tou. Wi, ou fini, ou fini nèt.
