< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
-Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a sou tout chèf ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la. Bay yo mesaj la, di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Madichon pou gadò pèp Izrayèl yo! Yo te mete yo la pou yo te swen pèp la, men se pwòp tèt yo ase yo konnen.
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
Nou bwè lèt mouton yo, nou pran lenn sou do yo pou fè rad mete sou nou, nou touye sa ki pi gra yo pou nou manje. Men, nou pa janm swen mouton yo.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
Nou pa bay sa ki mèg yo manje pou yo pran fòs. Nou pa swen sa ki malad yo. Nou pa mete renmèd sou sa ki blese yo. Nou pa fè sa ki te soti nan bann yo tounen nan plas yo. Nou pa al chache sa ki te pèdi yo. Lekontrè, nou sèvi ak pozisyon chèf nou an pou n' kraze yo, pou n' maltrete yo.
5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
Paske mouton yo te san gadò, yo gaye nan raje yo, bèt nan bwa touye yo.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
Se konsa mouton yo gaye sou gwo mòn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Mouton yo gaye toupatou sou latè. Pesonn pa okipe yo, pesonn pa chache kote yo ye.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of YHWH;
Se poutèt sa, nou menm gadò ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
8 As I live, saith the Sovereign YHWH, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale. Bèt nan bwa atake mouton m' yo, yo devore yo, paske yo te san gadò. Gadò m' yo pa fè anyen pou mouton m' yo. Se tèt pa yo ase yo konnen. Yo pa swen mouton m' yo.
9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of YHWH;
Konsa, nou menm gadò pèp la, koute pawòl mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap di nou.
10 Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di nou: M'ap leve dèyè nou! M'ap wete mouton yo nan men nou. Mwen p'ap kite nou reskonsab mouton m' yo ankò. Konsa nou p'ap rete chita ap angrese tèt nou ase sou do mouton m' yo. Wi, m'ap wete mouton m' yo anba dan nou. Nou p'ap ka pwofite sou yo ankò.
11 For thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Se mwen menm menm ki pral chache mouton m' yo pou m' swen yo.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Menm jan yon gadò mache swen mouton l' yo ki te gaye, konsa m'ap mache sanble tout mouton m' yo, m'ap pran yo tout kote yo te gaye yo depi jou fènwa a, jou gwo malè a, m'ap fè yo tounen.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
M'ap fè yo soti nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo, m'ap sanble yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan pwòp peyi pa yo. M'ap mennen yo vin manje sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, nan fon yo, tout kote moun ka rete nan peyi a.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
M'ap kite yo manje nan bon jaden zèb. Sou tout mòn byen wo nan peyi Izrayèl la, yo pral jwenn kote pou yo rete san danje. Se la yo pral poze kò yo, yo pral jwenn kont zèb vèt yo sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Se mwen menm ki pral okipe mouton m' yo. Se mwen menm k'ap jwenn yon kote pou yo poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
Sa ki pèdi yo, m'ap chache yo. Sa ki te soti nan bann yo, m'ap fè yo tounen nan plas yo. Sa ki blese yo, m'ap mete renmèd pou yo. Sa ki malad yo, m'ap geri yo. Men, sa ki gra yo, sa ki byen gwo yo, m'ap touye yo. M'ap swen mouton m' yo jan m' dwe fè l' la.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
Pou nou menm, mouton m' yo, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou. Mwen pral jije nou chak. M'ap mete bon yo yon bò, move yo yon bò, belye mouton yo yon bò, bouk kabrit yo yon bò.
18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Genyen nan mitan nou, se yo ase ki pou manje pi bon zèb yo. Men, sa pa kont yo toujou. Se pou yo pilonnen anba pye yo sa ki pa manje yo. Se yo ase ki pou bwè bèl dlo fre. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, fòk yo sal rès dlo a ak pye yo.
19 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Konsa, rès mouton m' yo blije manje zèb lòt yo te pilonnen anba pye yo. Yo blije bwè rès dlo lòt yo te sal ak pye yo.
20 Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
Se konsa, koulye a, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou: Mwen pral jije mouton gra yo ak mouton mèg yo.
21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Nou pouse mouton ki san fòs yo sou kote, nou ba yo kou ak dèyè nou, ak pòtray nou, ak kòn nou jouk nou mete yo deyò, nou fè yo kite bann lan.
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Men, m'ap vin sove mouton m' yo, m' p'ap kite nou fè piyay sou do yo ankò. Se mwen menm k'ap jij nan mitan nou.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
M'ap ba yo yon wa k'ap tankou David, sèvitè m' lan. Se li menm ki pral okipe yo, k'ap mennen yo manje. Se li menm k'ap gadò yo.
24 And I YHWH will be their Elohim, and my servant David a prince among them; I YHWH have spoken it.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap Bondye yo. Se yon wa, tankou David sèvitè m' lan, ki va sèl chèf nan mitan yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
M'ap pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap garanti yo kè poze, m'ap fè tout bèt nan bwa disparèt nan peyi a. Konsa mouton m' yo va rete san pwoblèm nan savann yo, y'a dòmi nan rakbwa yo.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
M'ap fè yo rete tout bò ti mòn ki apa pou mwen an. M'ap beni yo, m'ap ba yo bèl lapli lè pou lapli tonbe.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am YHWH, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Pyebwa nan jaden yo va donnen, jaden yo va bay bèl rekòt, tout moun pral viv ak kè poze nan peyi yo a. Lè m'a wete chenn lan nan kou yo, lè m'a delivre yo anba men moun ki te fè yo tounen esklav, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
Moun lòt nasyon p'ap piye yo ankò. Bèt nan bwa p'ap devore yo ankò nan peyi a. Yo pral rete lakay yo san danje. Pesonn p'ap vin chache yo kont.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
M'ap ba yo bon venn tè nan jaden yo. Moun p'ap mouri grangou nan peyi a ankò. Lòt nasyon yo p'ap pase yo nan betiz ankò.
30 Thus shall they know that I YHWH their Elohim am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki kanpe la avèk yo. Yo menm, moun fanmi Izrayèl yo, se pèp pa m' lan menm yo ye. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your Elohim, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Nou menm, moun, se mouton mwen nou ye, bann mouton m'ap okipe yo. Mwen menm, se Bondye nou mwen ye. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
