Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, 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 down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.
-Nonm o! Ekri dat jòdi a, paske se jòdi a wa peyi Babilòn lan pral sènen lavil Jerizalèm.
3 And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the 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 proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up 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 make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.
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 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for 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 was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over 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 To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,
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 Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.
Pote bwa an kantite toujou! Limen dife a! Kwit vyann yo byen kwit! Mete zepis ladan l'! Boule zo yo!
11 Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum 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 With fraud hath she wearied [the poor]; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum [be removed].
Ala traka pou wete lawouj la! Atousa, lawouj la p'ap fin soti nèt nan dife a.
13 In thy uncleanness is [thy] incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on 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 the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
16 Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.
-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 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of [other] 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 And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been 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 mean for us, that thou doest so?
Pèp la mande m': -Eske ou ka di nou poukisa ou fè sa w'ap fè la a?
20 And I said unto them, The word of the Lord 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind 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 yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.
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 bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.
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 shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.
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, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, 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 On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy ears.
Jou sa a, yon moun va chape kò l', l'a kouri vin pote nouvèl la ba ou.
27 On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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.
