< Ezekiel 8 >
1 AND it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
Li te vin rive nan sizyèm ane, sou senkyèm jou, nan sizyèm mwa a, pandan mwen te chita lakay mwen ak ansyen a Juda yo ki te chita devan m, ke men Senyè BONDYE a te tonbe sou mwen la.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
Answit, mwen te gade e vwala, yon imaj kon aparans a yon nonm—soti nan ren li pou rive anba, te gen aparans dife e soti nan ren li pou monte, aparans yon bagay briyan tankou metal k ap klere.
3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
Li te lonje yon bagay sanblab ak yon men, e li te kenbe m nan cheve m nan pati dèyè tèt mwen. Konsa, Lespri a te leve m monte rive antre tè a ak syèl la, e li te mennen mwen nan vizyon Bondye yo pou rive Jérusalem nan antre kote nò nan pòtay pa anndan an, kote ki te gen chèz pou zidòl ki rele jalouzi a, ki konn pwovoke jalouzi a.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Gade byen, glwa Bondye Israël la te la, tankou aparans ke m te wè nan plèn nan.
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, leve zye ou koulye a vè nò.” Konsa, mwen te leve zye m vè nò, e gade byen, nan nò a pòtay lotèl, se te zidòl jalouzi a ki te nan antre a.
6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè ki sa y ap fè, gwo abominasyon ke lakay Israël ap fè isit la, pou m ta kite sanktyè Mwen an? Malgre toujou, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo.”
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Li te mennen m nan antre lakou enteryè a, e lè m te gade, vwala, yon twou nan mi an.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an.” Konsa, mwen te fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an e vwala, yon pòt pou antre.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Li te di mwen: “Antre ladann pou wè abominasyon mechan ke y ap komèt isit la.”
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
Konsa, mwen te antre e vwala, tout fòm bagay ki trennen atè, bèt ak bagay abominab, ak tout zidòl lakay Israël yo te grave kon desen sou mi an toutotou li.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
Epi te kanpe devan yo, swasann-dis lansyen a lakay Israël yo, e Jaazania, fis a Schaphan an, te kanpe nan mitan yo, chak moun ak pwòp veso lansan li, e odè nwaj lansan an a t ap leve.
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
Epi Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè sa ke ansyen lakay Israël yo ap komèt nan fènwa a, chak moun nan chanm a pwòp imaj taye li? Paske men ki sa y ap di: ‘SENYÈ a pa wè nou. SENYÈ a fin abandone peyi a.’”
13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Epi Li te di mwen: “Malgre sa, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo ke y ap komèt.”
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Konsa, Li te mennen mwen nan antre a pòtay lakay SENYÈ a ki te vè nò; epi vwala, te gen fanm la ki t ap kriye pou Thammuz.
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Malgre sa, ou va wè pi gwo abominasyon ke sa yo.”
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Konsa, Li te mennen mwen antre nan lakou enteryè lakay SENYÈ a. Epi vwala, nan antre tanp SENYÈ a, antre galri ak lotèl la, anviwon venn-senk òm, avèk do yo bay tanp SENYÈ a, e figi yo vè lès. Epi yo t ap pwostène yo nan lès vè solèy la.
17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Èske se yon bagay twò piti pou lakay Juda ta komèt abominasyon ke yo te komèt isit la? Paske yo te ranpli peyi a ak vyolans e te pwovoke M plizyè fwa? Gade byen, y ap vekse M menm ak ti branch bwa yo poze sou nen yo.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Akoz sa, anverite, Mwen va aji ak gwo kòlè. Zye m p ap gen pitye, ni Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn. Malgre yo kriye nan zòrèy Mwen ak gwo vwa, malgre sa, Mwen p ap koute yo.”
