Ezekiel 5
1 “Son of man, go and shave your head and your beard using a sharp sword like a barber's razor. Then divide up the hair using a set of scales.
Seyè a di mwen: -Nonm o! Pran yon kouto byen file, tankou razwa kwafè, wete tout bab nan figi ou ak tout cheve nan tèt ou. Lèfini, pran yon balans pou peze cheve ou koupe yo, w'a fè yo fè twa pil menm fòs.
2 Once the days of the siege have finished, burn up one third of the hair inside the city; slash at another third with a sword around the city; and scatter another third in the wind. I will let loose a sword behind them to chase them.
Lè y'a sispann sènen lavil la, w'a boule yon premye pil nan mitan lavil la. W'a pran yon dezyèm pil, w'a koupe l' ti moso ti moso avèk nepe a pandan w'ap fè tou lavil la pa deyò. Dènye pil cheve a menm, w'a voye l' anlè pou van pote yo ale. Mwen menm, m'a kouri dèyè yo ak nepe mwen.
3 Take just a few hairs and tuck them into the hem of your clothes.
W'a sere yon ponyen cheve, w'a koud li nan woulèt rad ou.
4 Take some of these and toss them into the fire to burn them. A fire will spread from there to burn everyone in Israel.
Lèfini, w'a pran de twa branch cheve nan sa ou te sere yo, w'a voye yo jete nan dife pou yo boule. Dife a ap gaye nan tout peyi Izrayèl la.
5 This is what the Lord God says: This represents Jerusalem. I placed her right in the middle of the nations, surrounded by other countries.
Men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, di ankò: -Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Mwen te mete l' kanpe nan mitan latè ak tout lòt nasyon yo bò kote l'.
6 But she rebelled against my rules, acting more wickedly than the nations, and she defied my regulations more than the countries surrounding her. Her people rejected my rules and refused to follow my regulations.
Men, Jerizalèm revòlte kont kòmandman ak lòd mwen yo. Li fè pi mal pase lòt nasyon ki bò kote l' yo. Moun li yo derefize swiv prensip mwen te ba yo. Yo pa fè sa m' te ba yo lòd fè a.
7 Consequently this is what the Lord God says: You have caused more trouble than the nations around you. You refused to follow my rules and keep my regulations. In fact you didn't even live up to the standards of the nations surrounding you.
Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, di nou: Nou pa swiv lòd mwen yo, nou pa fè sa m' te mande nou fè. Konsa, nou fè pi mal pase moun lòt nasyon ki bò kote nou yo. Nou pa menm swiv lòd moun lòt nasyon yo gen lakay yo.
8 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because it's me who is condemning you, Jerusalem! I'm going to carry out my sentence against you while the other nations watch.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a, Bondye nan syèl la, di ou: M'ap leve dèyè ou tou, mwen pral pini ou devan tout lòt nasyon yo.
9 Because of all the disgusting things you've done, I'm going to do to you what I've never done before—and I won't ever do again.
N'ap fè yon bann bagay mwen pa vle wè menm. Se poutèt sa m'ap pini lavil Jerizalèm jan mwen poko janm pini l', jan mwen p'ap janm pini l' ankò.
10 In your city parents will eat their own children, and children will eat their parents. I'm going to punish you and scatter in every directions those who are left.
Se poutèt sa, nan lavil Jerizalèm papa ak manman va manje pwòp pitit yo, pitit va manje papa ak manman yo. M'ap pini nou, m'ap gaye rès moun ki va rete yo toupatou.
11 As I live, declares the Lord God, because you have made my sanctuary unclean with all your offensive idols and disgusting practices, I will stop treating you well. I won't be kind to you—I won't show you any pity.
Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè, Sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale: Paske nou derespekte tanp mwen an ak tout vye bagay degoutan ansanm ak bann bagay mwen pa vle wè menm nou te fè ladan l' yo, mwen fè sèman, mwen menm tou m'ap san pitye pou nou. M'ap voye nou jete, mwen p'ap kite nou yonn chape.
12 A third of your people will die from disease or starvation inside the city; a third will be killed by the sword outside the city walls; and a third I will scatter in the wind in all directions, and let loose a sword behind them to chase them.
Pèp la ap fè twa pòsyon, yon pòsyon pral mouri anba maladi ak grangou nan lavil la, yon lòt pòsyon pral mouri nan lagè lòt bò miray ranpa lavil la. M'ap gaye rès la nan tout direksyon. Lèfini, m'ap kouri dèyè yo ak nepe.
13 Once my anger is over and I've finished punishing them, then I'll be satisfied. When I've finished punishing them, then they'll know that I, the Lord, meant what I said when I spoke so strongly.
M'a tire revanj mwen, m'ap krase yo dèske yo fè m' fè kòlè, m'ap move sou yo jouk mwen pa kapab ankò. Lè sa a, y'a rekonèt se mwen menm Seyè a ki te pale konsa ak yo, paske yo te pouse m' fè jalouzi, mwen te fache sou yo jouk mwen pa kapab ankò.
14 I'm going to ruin you and humiliate you in front of the nations surrounding you, in the sight of every passer-by.
M'ap fè nou tounen yon dezè nan mitan tout lòt peyi yo, yon wont pou moun k'ap pase bò kote nou ye a.
15 You will be criticized and mocked, you'll be a warning and something horrifying to the surrounding nations when I carry out my sentence against you in my rage and furious anger. I the Lord have spoken.
Lè m'a fè kòlè a, lè m'a move anpil sou nou an, lè m'a pini nou rèd mare jan mwen te vle l' la, m'ap avili nou, m'ap fè nou tounen yon wont. N'a sèvi yon avètisman pou tout nasyon ki bò kote nou yo, y'a soti pè lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
16 When I pour down on you deadly arrows of famine and destruction they're intended to kill you. I will make your famine worse by stopping your food supply.
M'ap koupe viv nou, m'ap kite nou mouri grangou. Nou pral santi doulè grangou a tankou si se flèch yo voye sou nou pou touye nou.
17 I will send famine and wild animals to attack you. You'll have no children left. Disease and killing will sweep over you, and I will bring armies to attack you. I the Lord have spoken.”
M'ap voye grangou ak bèt nan bwa k'ap touye tout pitit nou yo. Move maladi pral tonbe sou nou, y'ap mete san nou deyò. M'ap voye lènmi vin fè nou lagè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale.
