Ezekiel 24
1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Nan dizyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp Izrayèl la, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
-Nonm o! Ekri dat jòdi a, paske se jòdi a wa peyi Babilòn lan pral sènen lavil Jerizalèm.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Ou pral bay yon pawoli sou move ras moun sa yo ki gen tèt di. W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Mete yon chodyè sou dife, plen l' dlo.
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Mete vyann ladan l', pi bon moso vyann ou konnen: jigo ak zepòl. Mete bon moso zo ladan l' tou.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
W'a pran yo nan mouton ki pi gra yo. Mete bon bwa anba chodyè a. Kite dlo a bouyi byen bouyi jouk vyann lan ak zo yo byen kwit.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di apre sa: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a! Li tankou yon chodyè wouye yo pa janm foubi. Wete tout moso vyann yo yonn apre lòt. Pa chwazi pou kite anyen ladan l'.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
Li fè anpil san koule nan mitan li. Men, san an pa koule atè pou pousyè te kouvri l'. San an koule sou wòch.
8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
Mwen kite san an la sou wòch yo, kote yo pa ka kouvri l', pou l' ka mande revanj paske sa fè m' fache anpil.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a. Se mwen menm ki pral fè yon gwo pil bwa.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Pote bwa an kantite toujou! Limen dife a! Kwit vyann yo byen kwit! Mete zepis ladan l'! Boule zo yo!
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
Mete chodyè fè a tou vid sou chabon dife yo. Kite l' vin tou wouj. Konsa lawouj la va tonbe, l'a dekale. Chodyè a va vin pwòp ankò pou l' ka sèvi.
12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
Ala traka pou wete lawouj la! Atousa, lawouj la p'ap fin soti nèt nan dife a.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
Jerizalèm, lawouj la se vye malpwòpte ou t'ap fè nan libètinaj ou yo. Mwen te soti pou m' te mete ou nan bon kondisyon, men ou pa rive fin nan bon kondisyon an nèt. Se poutèt sa, ou p'ap janm nan bon kondisyon ankò toutotan mwen pa fè ou santi tou sa mwen ka fè ou nan kòlè mwen.
14 I Yhwh have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Lè a rive pou m' fè sa m' te di m'ap fè a. Mwen p'ap chanje lide. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap pran priyè. Yo pral pini ou pou sa ou te fè, pou jan ou te mennen bak ou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
15 Also the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
-Nonm o! Mwen pral rete konsa, mwen pral pran moun ou renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt ou a. Men, pa plenyen, pa rele, pa kite dlo sot nan je ou!
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Plenn sò ou. Men, pa kite moun tande ou! Pa fè anyen ki pou moutre ou nan lapenn tankou yon moun ki gen lanmò. Mare bèl foula ou nan tèt ou. Mete sapat nan pye ou. Pa kouvri figi ou. Pa manje manje moun voye ba ou.
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Jou sa a nan maten, mwen t'ap pale ak pèp la. Nan aswè, madanm mwen rete konsa, li mouri. Nan denmen maten, mwen fè jan Seyè a te di m' fè a.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Pèp la mande m': -Eske ou ka di nou poukisa ou fè sa w'ap fè la a?
20 Then I answered them, The word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Mwen reponn yo: -Seyè a te pale avè m', li te di m',
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
pou m' di moun pèp Izrayèl yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye pou yo: Nou kontan gwo kay solid nou mete apa pou mwen an. Nou renmen l' tankou de grenn je nan tèt nou, nou fèb anpil pou li. Enben, mwen pral fè yo derespekte kay mwen an. Pitit gason ak pitit fi nou te kite lavil Jerizalèm yo pral mouri nan lagè.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Lè sa a, n'a fè jan nou wè m' fè a. Nou p'ap kouvri figi nou, nou p'ap manje pen nan men moun.
23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
N'ap toujou mare bèl foula nan tèt nou. N'ap toujou mete sapat nan pye nou, nou p'ap rele, nou p'ap kriye jan moun yo fè lè yo gen lanmò. Men, nou pral deperi akòz mechanste nou yo. Nou pral plenn sò nou yonn bay lòt.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord Yhwh.
Ezekyèl menm pral yon siy pou nou. N'a fè menm jan li te fè a. Lè bagay sa a va rive, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè sèl Mèt la.
25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap wete nan men yo kay byen solid ki te tout pwoteksyon yo a, bèl kay ki te fè kè yo kontan an, kay yo te renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt yo a, kay yo te fèb anpil pou li a. M'ap wete l' ansanm ak pitit gason ak pitit fi yo.
26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
Jou sa a, yon moun va chape kò l', l'a kouri vin pote nouvèl la ba ou.
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am Yhwh.
Menm jou sa a, w'a ka louvri bouch ou pale ak moun ki chape a. Wi, w'a ka pale, ou p'ap bèbè ankò. Se konsa ou va yon siy pou pèp la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
