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.
“Pou ou menm, Fis a lòm, pran yon nepe byen file. Pran l pou sèvi kon razwa sou tèt ou ak bab ou. Epi pran yon balans pou peze e divize cheve a.
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.
Yon tyè, ou va brile nan dife nan mitan vil la, lè jou syèj yo vin fini. Epi ou va pran yon tyè e frape l avèk nepe toupatou nan vil la e yon tyè, ou va gaye nan van. Konsa, Mwen va rale yon nepe fè l sòti nan fouwo pa dèyè yo.
3 Take just a few hairs and tuck them into the hem of your clothes.
Pran osi, kèk grenn nan cheve a, pa anpil, e mare yo nan pwent wòb 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.
Ankò, pran kèk nan yo pou jete nan dife, e brile yo nan dife a. Soti nan li, yon dife va gaye rive nan tout lakay Israël 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.
“Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Sa se Jérusalem. Mwen te mete li nan mitan a nasyon yo ak peyi ki antoure li yo.
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 li te fè rebèl kont lòd Mwen yo pi mal pase nasyon yo, e kont règleman Mwen yo, plis ke peyi ki antoure li yo. Paske yo te rejte lòd Mwen yo, e pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo.’
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.
“Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz ou gen plis twoub pase nasyon ki te antoure ou yo, ou pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd a nasyon ki te antoure ou 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.
akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen, Mwen menm kont ou, e Mwen va egzekite jijman pami nou pou tout lòt nasyon yo ka wè.
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.
Akoz tout abominasyon nou yo, Mwen va fè pami nou sa ke Mwen pa t fè, e tankou sa Mwen p ap janm fè 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.
Pou sa, papa yo va manje fis yo pami nou, e fis yo va manje papa yo. Paske Mwen va egzekite jijman sou nou e gaye tout retay nou yo nan tout van.
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.
Jan Mwen viv la’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Anverite, akoz nou te souye Sanktyè pa M nan ak tout zidòl abominab nou yo, e ak tout abominasyon nou yo, konsa M ap desann nou. Pou sa, Zye m p ap gen pitye, e Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn.
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.
Yon tyè nan nou va mouri akoz epidemi. Yo va vin mouri nan gwo grangou nan mitan nou. Yon tyè va tonbe devan nepe ki toupatou nou. Yon tyè, mwen va gaye nan tout van yo, e Mwen va rale yon nepe dèyè yo.’”
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.
Konsa, kòlè M va achevi. Mwen va satisfè gwo mekontantman Mwen sou yo, e Mwen va satisfè. Epi yo va vin konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale ak zèl lè Mwen te achevi kòlè Mwen sou yo a.
14 I'm going to ruin you and humiliate you in front of the nations surrounding you, in the sight of every passer-by.
“‘Anplis, Mwen va fè ou vin yon kote dezole ak yon objè repwòch pami nasyon ki antoure ou yo, nan zye a tout sila ki pase la yo.
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.
Konsa, sa va yon repwòch, yon ensilt, yon avètisman e yon objè degoutan pou nasyon ki antoure ou yo lè Mwen egzekite jijman kontra ou nan kòlè Mwen, mekontantman, ak repwòch plen ak raj— Mwen, SENYÈ a fin pale—
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.
lè Mwen voye kont yo flèch mechan yo, kon gwo grangou a, yon flèch ki te voye pou detwi nou. Mwen va osi fè gwo grangou a vin pi rèd sou ou e va kase retire sous pen an.
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.”
Anplis, Mwen va voye sou ou gwo grangou, ak bèt sovaj yo e yo va fè ou soufre gwo pèt. Epidemi ak vèse san va rive sou ou. Mwen va mennen nepe sou ou. Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale sa a.’”
