Ezekiel 3
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest: eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, manje sa ou jwenn. Manje woulo sa a pou ale pale ak lakay Israël.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.
Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen eLi te lonje ban m woulo a pou manje.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, bay vant ou manje, e plen kò ou ak woulo sa ke Mwen ap bay ou a.” Alò, mwen te manje li. Li te dous kon siwo myèl nan bouch mwen.
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Konsa, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, ale lakay Israël pou pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo.
5 For not to a people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;
Paske ou p ap voye kote yon pèp ak langaj ki difisil, men a pèp Israël la.
6 Not to many people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would truly have hearkened unto thee.
Ni a anpil pèp ak pawòl ki pa ka konprann, ni lang difisil, ak pawòl ke ou p ap ka konprann. Men Mwen voye ou kote sila ki ta dwe koute ou yo.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me; for all the house of Israel have a bold forehead, and a hard heart.
Malgre sa, lakay Israël p ap dakò koute ou, akoz yo p ap dakò koute Mwen menm. Anverite, tout lakay Israël gen tèt di e wondonmon.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
Gade byen, Mwen te fin fè figi ou di kont figi yo, e fwontèn ou di kont fwontèn yo.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, nor shalt thou be dismayed at their presence, though they be a rebellious family.
Tankou dyaman, pi di pase silèks, Mwen te fè fwontèn ou. Pa krent yo ni vin twouble devan yo, malgre yo se yon kay rebèl.”
10 And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I will speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear [them] with thy ears.
Anplis, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, pran mete nan kè ou tout pawòl Mwen yo, ke Mwen va pale a ou e koute ak atansyon.
11 And go, get thee to those in exile, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Ale kote egzile yo, fis a pèp ou yo. Pale ak yo e di yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’”
12 Then a spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying, ] Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e mwen te tande yon gwo bri k ap gwonde dèyè m: “Beni se glwa SENYÈ a nan plas Li a.”
13 [I heard] also the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels at the same time with them, and the sound of a great rushing.
Epi mwen te tande zèl a kreyati vivan yo, youn k ap touche lòt e bri a wou yo bò kote yo, menm yon gwo bri k ap gwonde.
14 So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I walked in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the inspiration of the Lord was strong upon me.
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e te pran m ale. Mwen te vini byen anmè ak laraj nan lespri m, e men SENYÈ a te fò sou mwen.
15 Then came I to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Kebar, and I remained where they dwelt, and I remained there in a state of confusion among them seven days.
Konsa, mwen te vini kote egzile ki te rete akote rivyè Kebar yo nan Thel-Abib. Mwen te chita la, etonen nèt pandan sèt jou kote yo te rete a.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, That the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Nan fen sèt jou yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini sou mwen e te di:
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and give them warning from me.
“Fis a lòm, Mwen te chwazi ou kon gadyen pou lakay Israël. Depi lè ou tande yon pawòl sòti nan bouch mwen, avèti yo li soti nan Mwen.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not give him warning, and speakest not to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die through his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Lè Mwen di a mechan an: ‘Ou va, anverite, mouri’ e ou pa avèti li, ni pale fò pou avèti mechan an pou kite chemen mechan l lan, pou l ka viv, mechan sila a va mouri nan inikite li, men san li, mwen va egzije li soti nan men ou.
19 But thou, —if thou hast warned the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way: he shall indeed die in his iniquity; but thou hast surely delivered thy soul.
Men si ou te avèti mechan an, e li pa kite mechanste li a, ni chemen mechan li an, li va mouri nan inikite li, men ou delivre nanm ou.”
20 Again, When a righteous man do turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong: then will I lay a stumbling-block before him, [so that] he shall die; yet if thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his acts of righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require from thy hand.
“Ankò, lè yon nonm ladwati ta vire kite ladwati pou komèt inikite e Mwen plase yon obstak devan l, li va mouri. Akoz ou pa t avèti li, li va mouri nan peche li e zèv ladwati ke li te konn fè yo, p ap sonje, men san li, mwen va egzije li nan men ou.
21 But if thou hast truly warned him, —the righteous, that the righteous should not sin, and he doth not sin: he shall surely live, because he attended to the warning, and thou hast surely delivered thy own soul.
Sepandan, si ou te avèti nonm dwat la ke moun ladwati pa dwe peche, e li pa peche, li va anverite viv, akoz li te koute avètisman an; epi ou delivre nanm ou.”
22 And the inspiration of the Lord came there over me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there will I speak with thee.
Men a SENYÈ a te sou mwen la, e Li te di m: “Leve ou menm, ale deyò nan plèn nan, epi la, Mwen va pale avèk ou.”
23 And I arose, and went forth into the valley; and, behold, there was the glory of the Lord standing, like that glory which I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell down on my face.
Konsa, mwen te leve ale nan plèn nan. Epi gade byen, glwa a SENYÈ a te kanpe la, tankou glwa ke m te wè akote rivyè Kebar a. Epi mwen te tonbe sou figi m.
24 Then entered a spirit into me, and placed me upright on my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself up within thy house.
Nan lè sa a, Lespri a te antre nan mwen. Li te fè m kanpe sou pye m, Li te pale avè m e te di mwen: “Ale, fèmen tèt ou anndan lakay ou.
25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they put ropes upon thee, and bind thee with them, that thou canst not go out among them:
Selon ou menm, fis a lòm, y ap mete kòd sou ou pou mare ou ak yo. Konsa, ou p ap ka sòti deyò pami yo.
26 And I will let thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not become to them a man who reproveth; for they are a rebellious family.
Mwen va fè lang ou kole anlè bouch ou pou ou vin bèbè e pou ou p ap ka fè yo repwoch, paske lakay yo rebèl.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forebear; for they are a rebellious family.
Men lè M pale ak ou, Mwen va ouvri bouch ou e ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’. Sila ki tande a, kite li tande; epi sila ki refize tande a, kite li refize; paske yo se yon kay rebèl.”
