Ezekiel 16
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Fis a lòm, fè Jérusalem konnen abominasyon li yo.
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.
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 as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou wast not rubbed with salt at all, nor swaddled at all.
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 pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, from abhorrence of thy person, in the day that thou wast 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 And I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, and I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! yea, I said unto thee, in thy 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 caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fulness of beauty; [thy] breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare.
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 thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest 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 thee with water, and thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil;
“‘“Mwen te benyen ou ak dlo, lave fè san sòti sou ou e Mwen te onksyone ou avèk lwil.
10 and I clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I bound thee about with byssus, and covered thee with silk.
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 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy 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 a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
Anplis, mwen te mete yon zanno nan nen ou, zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn nan tèt ou.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was byssus, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou becamest exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
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 thy fame went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my magnificence, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 thou didst confide in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by: his it was.
“‘“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 of thy garments thou didst take, and madest for thyself high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot thereupon: [the like] hath not come to pass, and shall be no more.
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 thou didst take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of males, and didst commit fornication 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 thou tookest thine embroidered garments, and coveredst them; and thou didst set mine oil and mine 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 had given thee, the fine flour and the oil and the honey wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour: thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hadst borne unto me, and these didst thou sacrifice unto them, to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms 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 that thou didst slay my children and give them up in passing them over 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 in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast weltering in thy 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 came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah),
“‘Konsa, li te vin rive apre tout mechanste ou yo—Malè, malè a ou menm!’, deklare Senyè BONDYE —
24 that thou didst also build unto thee a place of debauchery, and didst make thee a high place in every street:
“Ke ou te bati pou kont ou yon lotèl, e te fè yon wo plas tout kote.
25 thou didst build thy high place at every head of the way, and madest thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy whoredom.
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 thou didst commit fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and didst multiply thy whoredom to provoke me to anger.
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 And behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thine appointed portion; and I gave thee over unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were confounded at thy lewd 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 And thou didst commit fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou didst commit fornication with them, and yet couldest not be 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 thou didst multiply thy whoredom with the land of merchants, Chaldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
Anplis, ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an ak peyi komèsan yo, Chaldée. Menm malgre sa, ou pa t satisfè.
30 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these [things], the work of a whorish woman, under no restraint;
“‘“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 in that thou buildest thy place of debauchery at the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street! And thou hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest reward,
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 O adulterous wife, that taketh strangers instead of her husband.
“‘“Ou menm, fanm adiltè, ki pran etranje olye de mari li!
33 They give rewards to all harlots; but thou gavest thy rewards to all thy lovers, and rewardedst them, that they might come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
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 in thee is the contrary from [other] women, in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit fornication; and whereas thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, so art thou 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 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah.
“Pou sa, O pwostitiye, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
36 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thine abominations, and because of the blood of thy children which thou didst give unto 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 therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all that thou hast loved, with all that thou hast hated, — I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
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 thee with the judgments of women that commit adultery and shed blood; and I will give thee up to the blood of fury and jealousy;
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 give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy place of debauchery, and shall break down thy high places; and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
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 shall bring up an assemblage against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through 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 shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and thou also shalt give no more any reward.
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 I will appease my fury against thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee; and I will be quiet, and will be no more 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 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these [things], behold, therefore, I also will recompense thy way upon [thy] head, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou shalt not commit this lewdness besides all thine 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, every one that useth proverbs shall speak in a proverb against thee, saying, As the mother, [so 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 Thou art the daughter of thy mother that loathed her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father 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 thine elder sister is Samaria that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, 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 And thou hast not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations; but as though that were a very little, thou hast been more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters!
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 thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
“‘“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 haughty, and committed abomination before me, and I took them away when I saw [it].
Konsa, yo te plen ògèy e te komèt abominasyon devan M. Pou sa, Mwen te retire yo lè M te wè sa.
51 And Samaria hath not sinned according to the half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
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 Thou also, who hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own confusion, because of thy sins in which thou hast acted more abominably than they: they are more righteous than thou. So be thou ashamed also, and bear thy confusion, in that thou hast justified thy 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 And I will bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them;
“‘“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 that thou mayest bear thy confusion, and mayest be confounded for all that thou hast done, in that thou comfortest 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 thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; thou also and thy daughters, ye shall return to your former estate.
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 Yea, Sodom thy sister was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Paske non a sè ou a, Sodome, pa t tande nan lèv ou nan jou ògèy ou a,
57 before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise thee 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 Thy lewdness and thine abominations, thou bearest them, saith Jehovah.
Ou te pote pinisyon zak lèd ou te fè, ak tout abominasyon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
59 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath, and broken 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 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee 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 thou shalt remember thy ways, and be confounded, when thou shalt receive thy sisters who are older than thou, together with those who are younger than thou; for I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by virtue of thy 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 establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah;
Konsa, Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,
63 that thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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.’”
