< Ezekiel 14 >
1 Then came certaine of the Elders of Israel vnto me, and sate before me.
Lè sa a, gen kèk chèf fanmi Izrayèl yo ki te vin kote m' pou m' te fè yo konnen volonte Bondye.
2 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Se konsa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
3 Sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idoles in their heart, and put the stumbling blocke of their iniquitie before their face: should I, being required, answere them?
-Nonm o! Moun sa yo lage kò yo bay zidòl nèt. Yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Yo met nan tèt yo mwen pral kite yo vin mande m' konsèy?
4 Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the Prophet, I the Lord will answere him that commeth, according to the multitude of his idoles:
Enben, pale ak yo, di yo konsa: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ap lage kò yo bay zidòl yo nèt, yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Lèfini, y'ap vin jwenn pwofèt Bondye a! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, k'ap ba yo repons yo merite poutèt kantite zidòl y'ap sèvi yo.
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their owne heart, because they are all departed from me through their idoles.
Zidòl yo te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do ban mwen. Men, m'ap reponn yo pou yo ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
6 Therfore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Returne, and withdraw your selues, and turne your faces from your idoles, and turne your faces from all your abominations.
Koulye a, men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Vire do bay zidòl nou yo, sispann fè vye bagay derespektan sa yo.
7 For euery one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that soiourneth in Israel, which departeth from mee, and setteth vp his idoles in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to a Prophet, for to inquire of him for me, I the Lord will answere him for my selfe,
Chak fwa yonn nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo osinon yonn nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp mwen an va vire do ban mwen pou li al sèvi zidòl, si li kite zidòl pran nanm li pou li fè sa ki mal, lèfini pou li konprann pou li al jwenn pwofèt Bondye a pou mande l' mande m' anyen, se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki pral ba li repons la.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example and prouerbe, and I will cut him off from the middes of my people, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
M'ap kenbe tèt ak li. M'ap fè l' tounen yon egzanp pou yo mete non l' nan chante. M'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
9 And if the Prophet be deceiued, when hee hath spoken a thing, I the Lord haue deceiued that Prophet, and I will stretch out mine hande vpon him, and will destroy him from the middes of my people of Israel.
Si yon pwofèt kite yo pran tèt li pou li pa pale verite, se mwen menm k'ap kite yo pran tèt li. M'ap lonje men m' sou li pou m' pini l', m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
10 And they shall beare their punishment: the punishment of the Prophet shall bee euen as the punishment of him that asketh,
Ni pwofèt la, ni moun ki te vin jwenn li an ap peye pou sa yo fè. Y'ap resevwa menm chatiman an.
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from mee, neither bee polluted any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, sayth the Lord God.
Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap vire do ban mwen ankò. Yo pa pral avili tèt yo nan fè sa ki mal. Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'ap ye, se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
12 The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
13 Sonne of man, when ye land sinneth against me by committing a trespasse, then will I stretch out mine hand vpon it, and will breake the staffe of the bread thereof, and will send famine vpon it, and I will destroy man and beast forth of it.
-Nonm o! Si moun k'ap viv nan yon peyi peche kont mwen, si yo pa kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen, m'ap lonje men m' sou yo pou m' pini yo. M'ap koupe viv yo. M'ap fè yon sèl grangou tonbe sou yo, m'ap touye ni moun, ni bèt nan peyi a.
14 Though these three men Noah, Daniel, and Iob were among them, they shoulde deliuer but their owne soules by their righteousnes, saith the Lord God.
Si twa moun dwat sa yo, Noe, Danèl ak Jòb, ta nan mitan yo, se yo menm ase ki t'ap sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 If I bring noysome beastes into the lande and they spoyle it, so that it bee desolate, that no man may passe through, because of beastes,
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye bèt sovaj touye tout moun nan peyi a, pou fè peyi a tounen yon dezè moun pè travèse poutèt bèt sovaj sa yo.
16 Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall saue neither sonnes nor daughters: they onely shalbe deliuered, but the land shall be waste.
Si twa moun sa yo ta nan mitan yo, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki t'ap sove. Tout peyi a t'ap tounen yon dezè.
17 Or if I bring a sworde vpon this land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I destroy man and beast out of it,
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye lagè sou peyi a. Mwen ta ka bay lòd pou nan lagè a yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
18 Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonnes nor daughters, but they onely shall be deliuered themselues.
Si twa mesye sa yo ta nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ase ki ta sove.
19 Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and powre out my wrath vpon it in blood, to destroy out of it man and beast,
Si mwen ta voye yon move maladi sou peyi a, si mwen ta move sou li jouk pou m' ta voye yon maladi san renmèd pou m' touye ni moun ni bèt,
20 And though Noah, Daniel and Iob were in the middes of it, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonne nor daughter: they shall but deliuer their owne soules by their righteousnes.
epi si Noe, Danèl ak Jòb te la nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki ta sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat.
21 For thus saith the Lord God, Howe much more when I sende my foure sore iudgements vpon Ierusalem, euen the sworde, and famine, and the noysome beast and pestilence, to destroy man and beast out of it?
Men sa Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap voye kat pi gwo chatiman m' yo sou lavil Jerizalèm: lagè, grangou, bèt sovaj ak move maladi, pou yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
22 Yet beholde, therein shalbe left a remnant of them that shalbe caryed away both sonnes and daughters: behold, they shall come forth vnto you, and ye shall see their way, and their enterprises: and ye shall be comforted, concerning the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, euen concerning al that I haue brought vpon it.
Men, si nou wè gen kèk moun ki chape, epi ki sove pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, gade yo byen lè y'a vin jwenn nou. Gade jan yo viv, gade sa yo fè. Lè sa a, n'a wè si m' pa t' gen rezon voye tout malè sa yo sou lavil Jerizalèm.
23 And they shall comfort you, when yee see their way and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I haue not done without cause all that I haue done in it, saith the Lord God.
Wi, lè n'a wè jan moun sa yo t'ap viv ak sa yo t'ap fè, n'a konnen mwen te gen rezon fè lavil Jerizalèm sa m' te fè l' la. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
