Jezekiel 21
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Mwen. Li te di:
2 Therefore prophesy, son of man, set your face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and you shall prophesy against the land of Israel,
“Fis a lòm, ranje figi ou vè Jérusalem. Pale kont sanktyè yo e pwofetize kont peyi Israël:
3 and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and unrighteous.
Di a peyi Israël la: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen vin kont nou. Mwen va rale nepe Mwen nan fouwo, e Mwen va koupe retire de nou moun dwat yo ak mechan yo.
4 Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Konsa, lè M ap koupe retire nèt de nou, moun dwat yo ansanm ak mechan yo, nan menm fwa, nepe M va rale soti nan fouwo li, kont tout chè soti nan sid jis rive nan nò.
5 and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
Konsa, tout chè va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, te rale nepe Mwen sòti nan fouwo. Li p ap remete nan fouwo ankò.”’
6 And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your loins; you shall even groan heavily in their sight.
“Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, plenn fò nan gòj ou ak kè kase, ak doulè òrib. Plenn nan gòj devan zye yo, ak kè kase, byen amè.
7 And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Therefore do you groan? that you shall say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, says the Lord.
Konsa, lè yo mande ou, ‘Poukisa w ap plenn nan?’ ou va di: ‘Akoz nouvèl k ap vini an! Tout kè va fann, tout men va vin pèdi fòs, nanm a tout moun va vin fennen e tout jenou yo va vin fèb tankou dlo. Gade byen, sa ap vini e sa va fèt’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
“Fis a lòm, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Yon nepe! Yon nepe! Li file e anplis, klere!
10 that you may kill victims; be sharpened that you may be bright, ready for slaughter, kill, set at nothing, despise every tree.
File pou fè yon masak, klere pou tire kon kout loray! Èske se konsa nou dwe fè kè kontan? Baton fis Mwen an, kondannen denyè pyebwa a.
11 And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
Li fèt pou li ta poli, pou yo kab manyen li. Nepe a file e poli, pou plase nan men a sila k ap touye a.
12 Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap your hands, for sentence has been passed:
Kriye fò e rele anmwey, fis a lòm; paske li kont pèp Mwen an, li kont tout prens Israël yo. Yo vin livre a nepe a avèk pèp Mwen an. Akoz sa, frape kwis ou.
13 and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, says the Lord God.
“Paske gen yon tribinal. Kisa pou di si menm baton ki kondanen an pa la ankò?” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
14 And you, son of man, prophesy, and clap your hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and you shall strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
“Pou sa, ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize e bat men ou ansanm. Kite nepe a vin double pou twazyèm fwa a, nepe pou tout sila ak blesi fatal yo. Se nepe pou gran la ki pote yon blesi fatal. Nan chanm yo l ap antre.
15 and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
Pou kè yo ka fann, e anpil moun tonbe sou pòtay yo, Mwen te plase nepe klere a devan tout potay yo. Ah! Li fèt pou frape tankou loray; li byen pwenti ak lentansyon fè masak.
16 And do you go on, sharpen yourself on the right and on the left wherever your face may set itself.
Rasanble nou menm. Ale adwat! Pozisyone ou byen alinye! Ale agoch, nenpòt kote ou gade.
17 And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it].
Anplis, Mwen va bat men M ansanm; Mwen va satisfè chalè kòlè Mwen. Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale li.”
18 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
19 and you, son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, you shall set [it] at the top of the way,
“Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, fè de wout pou nepe wa Babylone nan kapab vini. Toulède va sòti nan yon sèl peyi. Epi fè yon endikasyon sou poto bwa. Fè l nan tèt wout pou antre nan vil la.
20 that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
Ou va trase wout la pou nepe a vin rive nan Rabbath a fis a Ammon yo, e vè Juda, nan Jérusalem fòtifye a.
21 For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
Paske wa Babylone nan te kanpe nan kote wout yo divize a, nan tèt a de wout yo, pou fè sèvis divinò. Li te souke flèch yo, li konsilte zidòl lakay yo, li egzamine fwa a.
22 On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
Sou men dwat li, oso a an te parèt; ‘Jérusalem,’ pou monte ak gwo moso bwa long pou kraze pòtay yo, pou ouvri bouch pou masak la, pou leve vwa gwo kri batay la, pou mete gwo bout bwa long yo kont pòtay yo, pou monte ran syèj yo, pou bati yon miray syèj.
23 And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
Epi sa va pou yo kon yon fo divinasyon nan zye yo. Yo te fè sèman solanèl, men li mennen inikite nan memwa yo, pou yo ka vin sezi yo.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord, Because you have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because you have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall you be taken.
“Akoz sa”, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz nou te mennen inikite nan memwa nou, nan sa, transgresyon nou yo vin dekouvri nèt. Konsa, pou tout zak nou yo, peche nou vin parèt—akoz nou vin sonje yo, men lan va vin sezi nou.
25 And you profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus says the Lord;
“‘Epi ou menm, O nonm mechan an ak blesi fatal la, prens Israël la, ou menm ak jou ki rive a, nan moman pinisyon final lan.
26 You have taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: you have abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Retire mouchwa sou tèt ou a, e retire kouwòn nan. Sa p ap menm ankò. Leve sa ki ba e bese sa ki wo.
27 Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.
Mwen va boulvèse, boulvèse, boulvèse tout sa a. Sa tou p ap genyen li ankò jiskaske Sila ki gen dwa a, vini, e Mwen va bay li a Li menm.”’
28 And you, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and you shall say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that you may gleam.
“Ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a konsènan fis a Ammon yo e konsènan ‘repwòch’ yo: “Yon nepe, yon nepe fin rale! Li klere pou masak la, pou fè l konsonmen nèt, pou li kapab tankou loray.
29 While you are seeing vain [visions], and while you are prophesying falsehoods, to bring yourself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
Pandan yo wè pou ou fo vizyon yo, pandan yo devine manti pou ou, pou mete ou sou kou a mechan ki gen blesi fatal la, jou a sila ki fin rive a, nan lè pinisyon final la.
30 Turn, rest not in this place wherein you were born: in your own land will I judge you.
Remete li nan fouwo a. Nan plas kote ou te kreye a, nan pwòp peyi ou an, Mwen va jije ou.
31 And I will pour out my wrath upon you, I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction.
Mwen va vide kòlè Mwen sou ou. Mwen va soufle sou ou ak dife kòlè Mwen e Mwen va livre ou nan men a lezòm brital yo; sila ak gran kapasite pou detwi.
32 You shall be fuel for fire; your blood shall be in the midst of your land; there shall be no remembrance at all of you: for I the Lord have spoken [it].
Ou va vinbwa sèch pou dife a; san ou va vide nan mitan peyi a. Yo p ap sonje ou ankò; paske Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale.”’”
