Ezekiel 9
1 Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”
Answit, Li te kriye fò pou m tande ak yon gwo vwa e te di: “Vin pi pre, O nou menm ki an chaj vil la, chak moun ak pwòp zam destriksyon li nan men l.”
2 I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to the bronze altar.
Gade byen, sis moun te sòti nan pòtay anlè ki pozisyone vè nò a, chak moun ak pwòp zam masak li nan men l. Pami yo, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti l. Epi yo te antre ladann e te kanpe akote lotèl an bwonz lan.
3 The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,
Konsa, laglwa Bondye Israël la te leve monte soti nan cheriben kote l te poze a, pou rive nan papòt tanp lan. Epi Li te rele nonm abiye an len ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti li an.
4 “Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”
SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale pase nan mitan vil la, menm nan mitan Jérusalem, mete yon mak sou fwon a mesye ki plenn nan gòj e ki fè soupi pou tout abominasyon k ap komèt nan mitan li yo.”
5 Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!
Men pou lòt yo, Li te di nan zòrèy mwen: “Travèse vil la dèyè li pou frape. Pa kite zye ou fè pitye, ni pa ralanti.
6 Kill the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.
Konplètman, touye granmoun, jenn gason, jenn fi, timoun yo ak fanm, men pa touche okenn moun ki gen mak la. Kòmanse soti nan sanktyè pa M nan.” Konsa, yo te kòmanse ak ansyen ki te devan tanp yo.
7 Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through the city.
Epi Li te di yo: “Souye tanp lan e plen lakou a ak mò yo. Ale deyò!” Konsa, yo te ale deyò pou te frape moun nan vil yo.
8 While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”
Pandan yo t ap frape moun yo e mwen sèl te rete, mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, mwen te kriye fò pou te di: “Anmwey, Senyè BONDYE! Èske W ap detwi tout retay Israël la pandan W ap vide gwo kòlè ou sou Jérusalem nan?”
9 “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’
Li te reponn mwen: “Inikite lakay Israël ak Juda yo vin trè trè gran. Peyi a vin plen ak san, e vil la plen ak pèvèsyon. Paske yo di: ‘SENYÈ a te abandone tout peyi a e SENYÈ a pa wè!’
10 But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”
Men pou Mwen, zye M p ap gen pitye ni Mwen p ap ralanti, men Mwen va fè kondwit yo vin rive sou pwòp tèt yo.”
11 Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
Epi gade byen, nonm abiye an len, ki te gen valiz ekri nan senti li jan nou te di a, t ap di: “Mwen te fè l jis jan ou te kòmande mwen an.”
