Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 And thou son of man, dost thou not judge, dost thou not judge the city of blood?
-Nonm o! Eske ou vle jije lavil ki renmen fè san koule a? W'a fè l' konnen tout vye bagay derespektan li te fè yo.
3 And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself.
W'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. Ou reskonsab lanmò anpil moun ki t'ap viv nan mitan ou. Ou fè vye zidòl pou ou avili tèt ou nan fè sèvis pou yo.
4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries.
Poutèt tout krim ou fè yo, ou antò. Avèk tout zidòl w'ap sèvi yo, ou pa nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Ou fè jou pa ou la pwoche, ou fè lè ou la rive! Se poutèt sa mwen kite nasyon yo pase ou nan betiz, tout moun ap lonje dwèt sou ou.
5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction.
Nan peyi pre ak nan peyi lwen, y'ap pase ou nan rizib. Ou se yon lavil ki gen move non, yon lavil plen dezòd.
6 Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood.
Tout chèf peyi Izrayèl yo gen konfyans nan pwòp fòs yo. Yon sèl bagay yo konnen, se touye moun.
7 They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee.
Nan lavil la, pesonn pa respekte papa ak manman yo ankò. Y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo. Y'ap maltrete fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki san papa.
8 Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths.
Nou pa respekte kay yo mete apa pou mwen yo, ni jou repo m' yo.
9 Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee.
Plen moun nan mitan ou k'ap mache denonse moun, k'ap bay manti sou moun pou fè touye yo. Gen lòt k'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl yo. Gen lòt menm, se pran plezi yo nèt ale nan tout kalite dezòd.
10 They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee.
Genyen k'ap kouche ak madanm papa yo. Genyen k'ap fòse madanm yo kouche ak yo atout yo gen règ yo.
11 And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee.
Genyen k'ap fè adiltè ak madanm moun Izrayèl parèy yo, k'ap kouche ak bèlfi yo san yo pa wont. Genyen k'ap fè kadejak sou pitit fi papa yo ki pa menm manman ak yo.
12 They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and then hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.
Genyen k'ap touye moun pou lajan. Gen lòt ankò k'ap bay frè parèy yo ponya, y'ap mande yo enterè pou lajan yo prete yo. Y'ap pran tou sa frè parèy yo genyen pa fòs. Men mwen menm, yo bliye m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
13 Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised and at the blood that hath been shed: In the midst of thee.
Mwen pral frape pye m' atè, paske nou vòlò twòp, nou touye moun twòp.
14 Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail ill the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
Jou m'ap regle avè ou la, ou p'ap gen kouraj pou ou sipòte, ou p'ap menm ka leve bra ou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
15 And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee.
M'ap gaye tout pèp ou a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. M'ap mache simaye nou nan peyi etranje yo. M'ap fè nou sispann fè malpwòpte nou t'ap fè nan mitan nou an.
16 And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Akòz tou sa ou fè ki derespektan yo, lòt nasyon yo pral trennen ou nan labou. Men ou menm, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Seyè a pale ave m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dress to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dress of silver.
-Nonm o! Pou mwen moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa vo anyen. Yo tankou kras ki rete nan fon chodyè lè y'ap fonn ajan, kwiv, asye, fè ak plon. Yo tankou kras nan fon chodyè, yo pa vo anyen.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dress, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem.
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Koulye a nou tounen kras nan fon chodyè fèblantye, mwen pral mete nou tout fè pil nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm.
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down.
Menm jan yo mete vye moso ajan, kwiv, fè, plon ak eten nan yon chodyè sou gwo dife pou fonn yo wete kras, m'ap move sou nou, m'ap fè kòlè, m'ap tankou dife y'ap soufle anba chodyè fèblantye pou fonn metal yo, m'ap fè nou fonn.
21 And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Wi, m'ap mete nou ansanm nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap limen dife anba nou, m'ap fache sou nou, m'ap fonn nou.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you.
Nou pral fonn nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm tankou ajan k'ap fonn nan chodyè fèblantye. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki move sou nou konsa.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
24 Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath.
-Nonm o! W'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo yo rete nan yon peyi ki gen madichon. Wi, lè m'a move sou yo, yo p'ap jwenn yon degout lapli.
25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof.
Chèf ki rete nan peyi a tankou lyon k'ap gwonde bò yon bèt yo fin touye. Yo devore moun, yo pran tout richès ak tout byen yo jwenn. Se pa de fanm yo kite san mari.
26 Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
Prèt yo menm pa kenbe lwa mwen an, yo pa gen respè pou kay ki apa pou mwen an. Yo pa fè diferans ant bagay ki apa pou mwen ak bagay ki pa apa pou mwen. Yo pa moutre moun sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon pou sèvis mwen. Yo pa konn sa ki rele jou repo mwen yo. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pa respekte m' menm.
27 Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness.
Zotobre yo menm nan lavil la, yo tankou chen mawon k'ap dechèpiye bèt yo touye. Y'ap touye moun pou yo vòlò byen yo.
28 And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken.
Pwofèt yo kache peche pou chèf yo tankou moun k'ap kouvri yon vye miray ak krepisay. Y'ap fè vizyon ki pa vre. Y'ap bay manti sou sa ki pou rive. Yo pretann se mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ba yo, men, mwen pa janm pale ak yo.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
Nan tout peyi a moun yo lage kò yo nan fè mechanste, nan vòlò zafè moun. Y'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite yo, y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon yo san rezon.
30 And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none.
Mwen chache nan mitan yo yon moun ki ta ka bati yon miray, ki ta ka kanpe kote miray yo ap kraze a, pou pran defans peyi a lè m'a fè kòlè pou m' detwi l', men mwen pa jwenn pesonn.
31 And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God.
Se konsa, mwen pral move sou yo. Tankou yon dife, mwen pral disparèt yo. Mwen pral fè yo peye pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
