Jezekiel 14
1 And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.
Epi kèk nan ansyen Israël yo te parèt kote mwen e te chita devan m.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
3 Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?
“Fis a lòm, mesye sila yo te fin etabli zidòl pa yo nan kè yo. Yo te mete yo toudwat devan figi yo kon wòch k ap fè moun chite, a pou fè yo tonbe nan inikite yo. Èske Mwen ta menm dwe koute kesyon yo?
4 Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him [according to the things] in which his mind is entangled,
Pou sa, pale ak yo e di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nenpòt moun lakay Israël ki pozisyone zidòl nan kè li, ki mete dwat devan figi l, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò, ta vin jwenn pwofèt la, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, va vin bay li repons sou sijè a, an akòd ak fòs kantite zidòl li genyen yo,
5 that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.
pou M ka kenbe kè lakay Israël la, tout ki byen lwen M akoz zidòl yo.”’”
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your [evil] practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.
“Pou sa, di a tout lakay Israël la, ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Repanti, vire kite zidòl nou yo, e vire figi nou lwen de tout abominasyon nou yo.”’”
7 For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, [according to the things] wherein he is entangled.
“Paske nenpòt moun lakay Israël, o menm etranje ki vin viv la, ki separe li de Mwen menm, pou l mete zidòl li yo nan kè l, ki vin mete dwat devan figi li, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò apre ta rive kote pwofèt la pou mande koze pou pwòp tèt li, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen va vin parèt pou bay li repons nan pwòp pèsonaj pa M.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Mwen va pozisyone figi M kont mesye sa a, fè li yon sign ak yon pwovèb, e Mwen va koupe retire li nèt de pèp Mwen an. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
9 And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
“Men si pwofèt sila vin twonpe, epi pale yon pawòl, se Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, ki te fè pwofèt sa a vin twonpe. Konsa, Mwen va lonje men M kont li pou detwi li soti pami pèp Mwen an, Israël.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
Yo va pote frè inikite yo. Jan inikite a sila k ap mande l pale a, se konsa inikite a pwofèt la va ye,
11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
pou lakay Israël pa egare lwen Mwen ankò, e pou yo pa souye tèt yo ankò ak tout transgresyon yo. Konsa, yo va vin pèp mwen, e Mwen va Bondye yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, e te di:
13 Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.
“Fis a lòm, si yon peyi peche kont Mwen nan komèt enfidelite, Mwen va lonje men M kont li, detwi sous pen li, voye gwo grangou kont li, e koupe retire nèt de li, ni lòm, ni bèt.
14 And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they [alone] should be delivered by their righteousness, says the Lord.
Menmsi twa mesye sila yo, Noé, Daniel, ak Job te nan mitan yo, ladwati yo pa ta delivre plis ke pwop nanm pa yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
15 If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:
“Si Mwen te fè bèt sovaj pase nan peyi a, e li vin dezole jis pou pèsòn pa ta pase ladann akoz bèt yo,
16 and [if] these three men should be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.
menmsi twa mesye sila yo te la nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Se yo sèl ki t ap delivre, men peyi a t ap vin dezole nèt.
17 Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:
“Ni, si Mwen ta mennen yon nepe sou peyi sa a e di: ‘Kite nepe a pase nan tout peyi a pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann,’—
18 though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.
menmsi, twa mesye sila yo te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo, men se sèl yo menm ki ta delivre.
19 Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:
“Oswa, si M ta voye yon gwo grangou kont peyi sa, e vide kòlè Mwen an san sou li, pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann—
20 and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, there shall be left [them] neither sons nor daughters; [only] they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.
menmsi Noé, Daniel ak Job te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Yo ta delivre sèlman pwòp tèt yo, pa ladwati pa yo.”
21 Thus says the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgments, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;
Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konbyen ankò lè Mwen voye kat gwo jijman Mwen yo kont Jérusalem: nepe, gwo grangou, bèt sovaj ak epidemi pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt sou li!
22 yet, behold, [there shall be] men left in it, the escaped thereof, who [shall] lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they [shall] go forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] all the evils which I have brought upon it.
Malgre sa, gade byen, gen yon retay ki va pote soti ladann, ni fis, ni fi. Gade byen, yo va vin parèt vè ou menm e ou va wè kondwit ak zèv yo. Konsa ou va vin rekonfòte pou gwo malè ke M te mennen sou Jérusalem nan, pou tout bagay ke M te mennen sou li yo.
23 And they shall comfort you, because you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, says the Lord.
Nan lè sa a, yo va rekonfòte ou lè ou wè kondwit ak aksyon yo, paske ou va konnen ke M pa t fè anyen san koz,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
