Ezekiel 36
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, listen to this message from the Lord.
Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize a mòn Israël yo e di: “O mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
2 This is what the Lord God says: The enemy said about you, ‘Aha! These old high places now belong to us,’
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz lènmi an te pale kont nou, “Ah, ah!”, ak “Wo plas yo vin devni posesyon nou,”’
3 so you must prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: They have turned you into a wasteland, attacking you from every direction, so that you became the property of other nations and people gossiped about you and slandered you.
akoz sa, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Se ak bon rezon yo te fè nou dezole, e te kraze nou tout kote a, pou nou te vin yon posesyon a rès nasyon yo, epi nou te vin retire nan pawòl ak ti soufle nan zòrèy a pèp la.”
4 So now, mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and abandoned towns, that the other nations around you have looted and mocked.
Akoz sa, O, mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl a Senyè BONDYE a. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a mòn yo ak kolin yo, a ravin yo ak vale yo, a vil dezole ki te vin viktim ak yon rizib pou rès nasyon ki antoure l yo,
5 Yes, this is what the Lord God says: I have spoken passionately against these other nations, and against all the Edomites, who took over my country and made it theirs, happily celebrating as they looted the land and treated me with complete contempt.
akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Anverite nan dife a jalouzi Mwen, Mwen te pale kont tout rès nasyon yo e kont tout Édom, ki te konfiske peyi Mwen an pou yo menm tankou yon posesyon ak yon kè ki plen ak jwa e yon nanm ki plen ak mepriz, pou yo ta ka sezi chan li yo kon piyaj.”’
6 So prophesy concerning the country of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord God says: Just watch, for I have spoken passionately about this because you have had to put up with this mockery from other nations.
Akoz sa, pwofetize konsènan peyi Israël la, e di a mòn e a kolin yo, a ravin yo e a vale yo: ‘konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Gade byen, Mwen te pale nan jalouzi Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, akoz nou te andire ensilt a nasyon yo.”’
7 This is what the Lord God says: I hold up my hand and swear that the other nations around you will suffer their own shame.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè Bondye a: “Mwen te sèmante, ‘Anverite, nasyon ki antoure nou yo va yo menm andire wont pa yo.’
8 But you, mountains of Israel, will grow trees that will produce fruit for my people Israel, for soon they'll be coming home.
“‘“Men nou menm, O mòn Israël yo, nou va lonje fè branch nou yo vin parèt pou pote fwi pou pèp Mwen an, Israël; paske avan anpil tan, y ap vini.
9 Look, I am for you and I will help you. Your land will be ploughed, and crops will be sown.
Paske gade byen, Mwen pou nou, Mwen va vire kote nou, e nou va vin kiltive e plante.
10 You will support the people of Israel as they return and grow in number. People will live in the towns again and rebuild the ruins.
Mwen va fè moun miltipliye sou nou, tout lakay Israël la, tout moun ladann. Konsa, vil yo va abite e dezè yo va vin rebati.
11 The number of your people will grow— they will have many children. The animals too will have many young. I will make sure that you're inhabited just as you used to be, and I will make you more prosperous that you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Mwen va miltipliye sou nou, ni moun, ni bèt. Yo va vin ogmante e yo va bay fwi, epi Mwen va fè nou peple teren an jan nou te ye avan an, e Mwen va trete nou pi byen ke avan. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
12 I will have my people Israel walk on you mountains. You will be theirs; you will belong to them, and you will no longer rob your nation of their children.
Wi, Mwen va fè mesye yo—pèp Mwen an, Israël— mache sou ou e posede ou, pou ou kapab vin eritaj pa yo pou yo pa janm retire pitit yo nan men yo ankò.”
13 This is what the Lord God says: Because people say to you, ‘You eat people, and rob your nation of their children,’
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz lòt nasyon yo di nou: ‘Ou se yon pèp ki manje moun e ou te fè peye ou pèdi pitit li yo,’
14 from now on you won't eat people or rob your nation of their children, declares the Lord God.
Akoz sa, ou p ap manje moun ankò e ou p ap responsab pèt pitit peye ou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
15 I'm going to stop these nations insulting you, and you won't have to put up with their taunts any more, or make the nation fall, declares the Lord God.”
“Mwen p ap kite nou koute ensilt a nasyon yo ankò, ni nou p ap pote mepriz a nasyon yo ankò, ni ou p ap fè nasyon pa w vin chite ankò”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
16 Another message from Lord came to me, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their country, they made it unclean by the way they behaved, by what they did. The way they were behaving in my presence was like the ceremonial uncleanness of a woman's period.
“Fis a lòm, lè lakay Israël t ap viv nan pwòp peyi yo, yo te souye li ak chemen pa yo ak zak yo. Chemen yo devan M pa t pwòp tankou yon fanm nan lè règ li.
18 So I became angry with them because of murders they committed in the country, and because they made it unclean by worshiping idols.
Akoz sa, Mwen te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo pou san ke yo te vèse sou peyi a, akoz yo te souye li ak zidòl yo.
19 I scattered them among the different nations and countries. I judged them according to the way they had behaved and what they did.
Anplis, Mwen te gaye yo pami nasyon yo, e yo te vin dispèse toupatou nan peyi yo. Selon chemen yo ak zak yo, Mwen te jije yo.
20 But wherever they went among the nations, they ruined my reputation, because people said about them, ‘These are the Lord's people, but they had to leave his country.’
Lè yo te rive nan nasyon kote yo te ale yo, yo te pwofane non Mwen. Paske yo te di a yo menm: ‘Sila yo se pèp SENYÈ a; malgre, yo te vin sòti kite peyi Li a.’
21 So I had to take care of my reputation for holiness which the people of Israel had ruined among the nations where they'd gone.
Men Mwen te vle konsève onè a non sen Mwen an, ke lakay Israël te pwofane pami nasyon kote yo te ale yo.
22 Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I'm not doing this for you, people of Israel, but for my reputation for holiness, which you ruined among the nations where you went.
“Akoz sa, pale ak lakay Israël: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Se pa pou koz nou, O lakay Israël, ke Mwen prèt pou aji a, men pou non sen Mwen an, ke ou te pwofane pami nasyon kote nou te ale yo.
23 I will reveal the holy nature and importance of my reputation, which has been ruined among the nations, the reputation you have ruined among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when I reveal my holiness through you as they watch.
Mwen va fè valè sentete a gwo non Mwen an ki te pwofane pami nasyon yo, ke nou te pwofane nan mitan yo. Nan lè sa a nasyon yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “lè M fè prèv sentete Mwen pami nou devan zye yo.
24 For I will bring you back from among the nations, gathering you from all the different countries, and I will lead you back into your own country.
“‘“Paske Mwen va retire nou soti nan nasyon yo, rasanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo pou mennen nou antre nan pwòp peyi pa nou an.
25 I will also pour pure water over you, and you will be clean. I will wash you clean from all your uncleanness and from all your idols.
Epi Mwen va flite yon dlo pwòp sou nou e nou va vin pwòp. Mwen va netwaye nou de tout sa ki malpwòp nan nou, e de tout zidòl nou yo.
26 I will give you a new mind and I will put a new spirit inside you. I will take away your stubborn mind and I will give you a loving mind.
Anplis, Mwen va bay nou yon kè tounèf e Mwen va mete yon lespri tounèf anndan nou. Epi Mwen va retire kè wòch la soti nan chè nou pou bay nou yon kè ki fèt ak chè.
27 I will put my Spirit inside you so you will follow my laws and remember to do what I tell you.
Mwen va mete Lespri M anndan nou, fè nou mache nan règleman Mwen yo e nou va fè atansyon pou swiv tout lwa Mwen yo.
28 Then you will live in the country I gave to your forefathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Nou va rete nan peyi ke M te bay a papa zansèt nou yo. Konsa, nou va pèp Mwen yo e Mwen va Bondye pa nou.
29 I will save you from everything that makes you unclean. I will make sure you have plenty of grain. I won't send you any famines.
Anplis, Mwen va sove nou de tout sa ki pa pwòp nan nou. Epi Mwen va rele pou sereyal miltipliye li e mwen p ap mennen gwo grangou rive sou nou.
30 I will also make sure you have good harvests from your orchards and fields, so that you won't be mocked by other nations anymore because of famine.
Mwen va miltipliye fwi sou pyebwa ak pwodwi chan an, pou nou pa resevwa mepriz a gwo grangou pami nasyon yo ankò.”
31 Then you will remember your evil ways and terrible things you've done, and you'll hate yourselves for your sins and disgusting actions.
“‘“Nan lè sa a, nou va sonje chemen mechan nou yo, zak nou ki pa t bon yo, e nou va rayi tèt nou nan pwòp zye nou, akoz inikite ak abominasyon nou yo.
32 You need to realize that I'm not doing this for your sake, declares the Lord God. You should be ashamed and embarrassed for what you've done, people of Israel!
Se pa pou koz nou ke m ap fè sa,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Ke nou byen konprann sa a. Rete wont e twouble akoz chemen nou yo, O lakay Israël!”
33 This is what the Lord God says: On the day I make you clean from all your sins, I will have you live in your towns again and make sure the ruins are rebuilt.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan jou ke M netwaye nou soti nan tout inikite nou yo, Mwen va fè vil la vin peple ak moun e kote dezole yo vin rebati.
34 The land that was deserted will be cultivated again instead of looking abandoned to everyone passing by.
Tèren dezole a va kiltive olye de vin yon dezolasyon devan zye a tout moun ki pase yo.
35 Then they will say, ‘This deserted land is now like the garden of Eden. The towns that were demolished, abandoned, and destroyed have been restored and strengthened, and people are living in them.’
Yo va di: ‘Tè dezole sa a te vin tankou jaden Éden. Epi dezè a, vil ranblè yo vin ranfòse e vin gen moun.’
36 Then those nations around you that are left will acknowledge that I, the Lord, have rebuilt what was demolished, and that I have replanted what was destroyed. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will carry it out.
Nan lè sa a, nasyon ki rete antoure nou yo va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te rebati pil mazi yo, e te plante sa ki te vin dezè a. Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale e Mwen va fè sa.”
37 This is what the Lord God says: I will once again answer the prayers of the people of Israel. This is what I will do for them: I will have them increase in number like a flock.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konsa anplis, men sa lakay Israël va mande M fè pou yo: Mwen va fè pèp pa yo a vin anpil tankou bann mouton.
38 Just like all the many flocks that are brought to Jerusalem to be sacrificed during the religious festivals, so the towns that were once demolished will be full of flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Tankou bann mouton ki pou fè sakrifis, tankou bann mouton Jérusalem nan lè fèt li yo, konsa vil dezole yo va vin plen ak yon bann moun. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
