< Ezekiel 29 >
1 In the tenth yeere, and in the tenth moneth in the twelfth day of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Nan dizyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa, nan douz nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Sonne of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the King of Egypt, and prophecie against him, and against all Egypt.
Fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont Farawon, wa Égypte la, e pwofetize kont li ak tout Égypte.
3 Speake, and say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I come against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon, that lieth in the middes of his riuers, which hath saide, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it for my selfe.
Pale e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, Farawon, wa Égypte, gwo mons la ki kouche nan mitan rivyè li yo, k ap di: ‘Rivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e se mwen menm ki te fè li.’
4 But I will put hookes in thy chawes, and I will cause the fish of thy riuers to sticke vnto thy scales, and I will drawe thee out of the middes of thy riuers, and all the fishe of thy riuers shall sticke vnto thy scales.
Mwen va mete gwo kwòk nan machwè ou e fè pwason larivyè ou yo vin kole sou kal ou yo. Konsa, Mwen va rale fè ou sòti nan mitan rivyè ou yo, ansanm ak tout pwason larivyè ou yo k ap kole sou kal ou yo.
5 And I will leaue thee in the wildernes, both thee and al the fish of thy riuers: thou shalt fal vpon ye open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I haue giue thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the foules of heauen.
Mwen va jete ou lwen nan dezè a, ou menm ak tout pwason rivyè ou yo. Ou va tonbe nan chan ouvri. Ou p ap rasanble ni reyini ankò. Mwen te bay ou kon manje bèt latè ak zwazo syèl yo.
6 And al the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they haue ben a staffe of reede to the house of Israel.
“‘“Konsa, tout moun ki rete an Égypte va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. Paske yo te sèlman yon gòl fèt ak wozo pou lakay Israël.
7 When they tooke holde of thee with their hand, thou diddest breake, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned vpon thee, thou brakest and madest all their loynes to stand vpright.
Lè yo te kenbe ou nan men yo, ou te kraze e chire tout men ak zepòl yo, Epi lè yo te apiye sou ou, ou te kraze kwis yo.”
8 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will bring a sworde vpon thee, and destroy man and beast out of thee,
“‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va mennen sou ou nepe a, e Mwen va koupe retire nèt de ou ni moun, ni bèt.
9 And the land of Egypt shalbe desolate, and waste, and they shall know that I am ye Lord: because he hath said, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it,
Peyi Égypte va devni yon dezolasyon ak yon savann dezole. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. “‘“Paske ou te di: ‘Larivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e mwen te fè l.’
10 Behold, therefore I come vpon thee, and vpon thy riuers, and I will make the land of Egypt vtterly waste and desolate from the towre of Seueneh, euen vnto the borders of the blacke Mores.
Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen kont ou, e Mwen kont rivyè ou yo. Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon savann dezole ak yon dezolasyon, soti Migdol jis rive Syène, menm pou rive nan lizyè Éthiopie.
11 No foote of man shall passe by it, nor foote of beast shall passe by it, neither shall it be inhabited fourtie yeeres.
Pye a moun p ap pase ladann, pye a bèt p ap pase ladann, e l ap rete san moun pandan karantan.
12 And I wil make the land of Egypt desolate in the middes of the countries, that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for fourtie yeeres: and I wil scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and wil disperse them through the countreis.
Konsa, Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon dezolasyon nan mitan peyi ki dezole yo. Vil li yo, nan mitan a vil ki fin devaste nèt yo, yo va dezole pandan karantan. Mwen va gaye Ejipsyen yo pami nasyon yo, e lage yo toupatou pami peyi yo.”
13 Yet thus saieth the Lord God, At the end of fourtie yeeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered,
“‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan fen karantan an, Mwen va rasanble Ejipsyen yo soti nan pèp kote yo te gaye yo.
14 And I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathros, into the lande of their habitation, and they shalbe there a small kingdome.
Mwen va ranvèse fòtin li yo, e fè yo retounen nan peyi Pathros, nan peyi orijin yo. La, yo va rete yon wayòm ki fèb.
15 It shall be the smallest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more aboue the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations.
Li va pi fèb pami wayòm yo e li p ap janm leve tèt li ankò kon chèf lòt nasyon yo. Mwen va fè yo tèlman vin piti ke yo p ap renye sou lòt nasyon yo.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their iniquitie to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they knowe, that I am the Lord God.
Konsa, li p ap janm sèvi ankò kon konfyans pou lakay Israël la, pou l pa kontinyepote nan tèt yo, inikite lè yo te vire kote Égypte la. Epi yo va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”’”
17 In the seuen and twentieth yeere also in the first moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, came the word of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Alò, nan venn-setyèm ane, nan premye mwa, nan premye jou nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
18 Sonne of man, Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel caused his armie to serue a great seruice against Tyrus: euery head was made balde, and euery shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages, nor his armie for Tyrus, for the seruice that he serued against it.
“Fis a lòm, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè lame li a travay di kont Tyr; tout tèt te vin chòv e tout epòl te fwote vin fè maleng. Men li menm ak lame li pa t reyisi salè soti nan Tyre pou travay li te fè kont li an.
19 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I will giue the land of Egypt vnto Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoyle her spoyle, and take her pray, and it shall be the wages for his armie.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va bay peyi Égypte a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan. Epi li va pote fè ale tout pèp li yo, kaptire donmaj li yo, e sezi li kon piyaj. Sa a va sèvi kon salè pou lame li a.
20 I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour, that he serued against it, because they wrought for me, sayth the Lord God.
Mwen te bay li peyi Égypte pou travay ke li te fè a, paske yo te aji pou Mwen,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
21 In that day will I cause the horne of the house of Israel to growe, and I will giue thee an open mouth in the middes of them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
“Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè yon kòn vin pouse pou lakay Israël, e Mwen va ouvri bouch ou nan mitan yo. Epi konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
