Ezekiel 4
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, — Jerusalem:
“Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, chache pou ou yon moso mozayik. Mete l devan ou e desiyen yon vil sou li, menm Jérusalem nan.
2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast a mound against it, and set camps against it, and place battering-rams against it round about.
Konsa, poze fè syèj kontra li. Bati yon miray syèj, leve teras, fòme kan a, prepare e pozisyone dè belye mouton kont li tout ozanviwon.
3 And take thou unto thee an iron plate, and put it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Ankò, chache pou ou yon plak an fè, pozisyone li tankou yon miray ki fèt an fè antre ou menm ak vil la e mete fas ou anvè li. Li anba syèj. Konsa ou va mete li anba syèj menm. Sa va yon sign pou lakay Israël.
4 And thou, lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: the number of the days that thou liest upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.
“Pou ou menm, kouche sou kote goch ou e mete inikite lakay Israël la sou li. Ou va pote inikite yo pou menm fòs jou ke ou kouche sou li yo.
5 And I have appointed thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Mwen te kontwole fòs kantite jou ki koresponn a fòs kantite ane a inikite yo; twa-san-katra-ven-di jou. Konsa ou va pote inikite a lakay Israël la.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, thou shalt lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Lè ou fin konplete sila yo, ou va kouche yon dezyèm fwa sou kote dwat ou pou pote inikite lakay Juda a. Mwen te kontwole li pou ou pandan karant jou; yon jou pou chak ane.
7 And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Konsa, ou va mete figi ou vè syèj a Jérusalem ak bra ou dekouvri pou pwofetize kont li.
8 And behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Alò, gade byen, Mwen va mete kòd sou ou pou ou pa kapab vire soti yon kote a yon lòt jiskaske ou fin konplete jou a syèj ou yo.
9 And thou, take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according to] the number of the days that thou liest upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
“Men pou ou menm, pran ble, lòj, pwa, pwa tann, pitimi, ak ble mòn. Mete yo nan yon sèl veso e fè pen ak yo. Ou va manje l selon nonb jou ke ou kouche sou kote ou yo, twa-san-katre-ven-di jou.
10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Manje ke ou va manje a va ven sik pa jou selon pwa li. Ou va manje ladann de tanzantan.
11 And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Dlo ou bwè a va yon sizyèm en (1 lit pa mezi). Ou va bwè l de tanzantan.
12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley-cake, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man.
Ou va manje li kon gato lòj. Ou va kwit li devan yo ak fimye poupou moun.”
13 And Jehovah said, So shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations whither I will drive them.
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Konsa fis Israël yo va manje pen pa pwòp yo pami nasyon kote m ap chase yo ale yo.”
14 Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, my soul hath not been defiled, and from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or of that which is torn; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Men mwen te di: “Ah Senyè BONDYE! Mwen pa t janm konn souye nanm mwen. Paske depi nan jenès mwen jis rive koulye a, mwen pa t janm manje sa ki te mouri pou kont li, oswa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, ni okenn vyann ki pa t pwòp pa t janm antre nan bouch mwen.”
15 And he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
Konsa, Li te di mwen: “Men gade, m ap bay ou kaka bèf pou ranplase poupou moun nan. Sou li menm ou va prepare pen ou an.”
16 And he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Anplis ke sa, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, gade byen, Mwen va kase pen sa a nan Jérusalem. Yo va manje pen mezire selon pwa, e ak kè twouble. Yo va bwè dlo pa mezi ak gwo laperèz
17 because bread and water shall fail them, and they shall be astonied one with another, and waste away in their iniquity.
ke pen ak dlo va vin ra. Konsa, yo va etonnen youn lòt e yo vin deperi nan inikite yo.”
