< Ezekiel 14 >
1 And some of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
Epi kèk nan ansyen Israël yo te parèt kote mwen e te chita devan m.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
3 Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?
“Fis a lòm, mesye sila yo te fin etabli zidòl pa yo nan kè yo. Yo te mete yo toudwat devan figi yo kon wòch k ap fè moun chite, a pou fè yo tonbe nan inikite yo. Èske Mwen ta menm dwe koute kesyon yo?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
Pou sa, pale ak yo e di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nenpòt moun lakay Israël ki pozisyone zidòl nan kè li, ki mete dwat devan figi l, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò, ta vin jwenn pwofèt la, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, va vin bay li repons sou sijè a, an akòd ak fòs kantite zidòl li genyen yo,
5 That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.
pou M ka kenbe kè lakay Israël la, tout ki byen lwen M akoz zidòl yo.”’”
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
“Pou sa, di a tout lakay Israël la, ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Repanti, vire kite zidòl nou yo, e vire figi nou lwen de tout abominasyon nou yo.”’”
7 For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself.
“Paske nenpòt moun lakay Israël, o menm etranje ki vin viv la, ki separe li de Mwen menm, pou l mete zidòl li yo nan kè l, ki vin mete dwat devan figi li, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò apre ta rive kote pwofèt la pou mande koze pou pwòp tèt li, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen va vin parèt pou bay li repons nan pwòp pèsonaj pa M.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Mwen va pozisyone figi M kont mesye sa a, fè li yon sign ak yon pwovèb, e Mwen va koupe retire li nèt de pèp Mwen an. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
9 And when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel.
“Men si pwofèt sila vin twonpe, epi pale yon pawòl, se Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, ki te fè pwofèt sa a vin twonpe. Konsa, Mwen va lonje men M kont li pou detwi li soti pami pèp Mwen an, Israël.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
Yo va pote frè inikite yo. Jan inikite a sila k ap mande l pale a, se konsa inikite a pwofèt la va ye,
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts.
pou lakay Israël pa egare lwen Mwen ankò, e pou yo pa souye tèt yo ankò ak tout transgresyon yo. Konsa, yo va vin pèp mwen, e Mwen va Bondye yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, e te di:
13 Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it.
“Fis a lòm, si yon peyi peche kont Mwen nan komèt enfidelite, Mwen va lonje men M kont li, detwi sous pen li, voye gwo grangou kont li, e koupe retire nèt de li, ni lòm, ni bèt.
14 And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.
Menmsi twa mesye sila yo, Noé, Daniel, ak Job te nan mitan yo, ladwati yo pa ta delivre plis ke pwop nanm pa yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
15 And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts:
“Si Mwen te fè bèt sovaj pase nan peyi a, e li vin dezole jis pou pèsòn pa ta pase ladann akoz bèt yo,
16 If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.
menmsi twa mesye sila yo te la nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Se yo sèl ki t ap delivre, men peyi a t ap vin dezole nèt.
17 Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it:
“Ni, si Mwen ta mennen yon nepe sou peyi sa a e di: ‘Kite nepe a pase nan tout peyi a pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann,’—
18 And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered.
menmsi, twa mesye sila yo te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo, men se sèl yo menm ki ta delivre.
19 Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
“Oswa, si M ta voye yon gwo grangou kont peyi sa, e vide kòlè Mwen an san sou li, pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann—
20 And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.
menmsi Noé, Daniel ak Job te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Yo ta delivre sèlman pwòp tèt yo, pa ladwati pa yo.”
21 For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast,
Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konbyen ankò lè Mwen voye kat gwo jijman Mwen yo kont Jérusalem: nepe, gwo grangou, bèt sovaj ak epidemi pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt sou li!
22 Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it.
Malgre sa, gade byen, gen yon retay ki va pote soti ladann, ni fis, ni fi. Gade byen, yo va vin parèt vè ou menm e ou va wè kondwit ak zèv yo. Konsa ou va vin rekonfòte pou gwo malè ke M te mennen sou Jérusalem nan, pou tout bagay ke M te mennen sou li yo.
23 And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
Nan lè sa a, yo va rekonfòte ou lè ou wè kondwit ak aksyon yo, paske ou va konnen ke M pa t fè anyen san koz,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
