Ezekiel 14
1 And men from [the] elderly of Israel come to me, and sit before me.
Lè sa a, gen kèk chèf fanmi Izrayèl yo ki te vin kote m' pou m' te fè yo konnen volonte Bondye.
2 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Se konsa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
3 “Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and they have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
-Nonm o! Moun sa yo lage kò yo bay zidòl nèt. Yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Yo met nan tèt yo mwen pral kite yo vin mande m' konsèy?
4 Therefore, speak with them, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Everyone of the house of Israel who causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has gone to the prophet—I, YHWH, have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
Enben, pale ak yo, di yo konsa: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ap lage kò yo bay zidòl yo nèt, yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Lèfini, y'ap vin jwenn pwofèt Bondye a! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, k'ap ba yo repons yo merite poutèt kantite zidòl y'ap sèvi yo.
5 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off Me by their idols—all of them.
Zidòl yo te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do ban mwen. Men, m'ap reponn yo pou yo ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Turn back, indeed, turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations,
Koulye a, men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Vire do bay zidòl nou yo, sispann fè vye bagay derespektan sa yo.
7 for everyone of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has come to the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, YHWH, have answered him for Myself;
Chak fwa yonn nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo osinon yonn nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp mwen an va vire do ban mwen pou li al sèvi zidòl, si li kite zidòl pran nanm li pou li fè sa ki mal, lèfini pou li konprann pou li al jwenn pwofèt Bondye a pou mande l' mande m' anyen, se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki pral ba li repons la.
8 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for allegories, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.
M'ap kenbe tèt ak li. M'ap fè l' tounen yon egzanp pou yo mete non l' nan chante. M'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
9 And the prophet, when he is enticed, and has spoken a word—I, YHWH, have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.
Si yon pwofèt kite yo pran tèt li pou li pa pale verite, se mwen menm k'ap kite yo pran tèt li. M'ap lonje men m' sou li pou m' pini l', m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
10 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
Ni pwofèt la, ni moun ki te vin jwenn li an ap peye pou sa yo fè. Y'ap resevwa menm chatiman an.
11 so that the house of Israel does not wander from after Me anymore, nor are they defiled with all their transgressions anymore, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap vire do ban mwen ankò. Yo pa pral avili tèt yo nan fè sa ki mal. Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'ap ye, se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
12 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
13 “Son of man, when the land sins against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken the staff of bread for it, and sent famine into it, and cut off man and beast from it—
-Nonm o! Si moun k'ap viv nan yon peyi peche kont mwen, si yo pa kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen, m'ap lonje men m' sou yo pou m' pini yo. M'ap koupe viv yo. M'ap fè yon sèl grangou tonbe sou yo, m'ap touye ni moun, ni bèt nan peyi a.
14 and [despite] these three men [that] have been in its midst: Noah, Daniel, and Job—they [only] deliver their own soul by their righteousness,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
Si twa moun dwat sa yo, Noe, Danèl ak Jòb, ta nan mitan yo, se yo menm ase ki t'ap sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 “If I cause an evil beast to pass through the land, and it has bereaved, and it has been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast—
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye bèt sovaj touye tout moun nan peyi a, pou fè peyi a tounen yon dezè moun pè travèse poutèt bèt sovaj sa yo.
16 [despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
Si twa moun sa yo ta nan mitan yo, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki t'ap sove. Tout peyi a t'ap tounen yon dezè.
17 Or [if] I bring a sword in against that land, and I have said: Sword, pass over through the land, and I have cut off man and beast from it—
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye lagè sou peyi a. Mwen ta ka bay lòd pou nan lagè a yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
18 and [despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they do not deliver sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
Si twa mesye sa yo ta nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ase ki ta sove.
19 Or [if] I send pestilence to that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off man and beast from it—
Si mwen ta voye yon move maladi sou peyi a, si mwen ta move sou li jouk pou m' ta voye yon maladi san renmèd pou m' touye ni moun ni bèt,
20 and [despite] Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither son nor daughter; they, by their righteousness, [only] deliver their own soul.”
epi si Noe, Danèl ak Jòb te la nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki ta sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat.
21 For thus said Lord YHWH: “Although My four severe judgments—sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence—I have sent to Jerusalem, to cut off man and beast from it,
Men sa Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap voye kat pi gwo chatiman m' yo sou lavil Jerizalèm: lagè, grangou, bèt sovaj ak move maladi, pou yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
22 yet, behold, there has been left an escape in it, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, behold, they are coming forth to you, and you have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the calamity that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
Men, si nou wè gen kèk moun ki chape, epi ki sove pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, gade yo byen lè y'a vin jwenn nou. Gade jan yo viv, gade sa yo fè. Lè sa a, n'a wè si m' pa t' gen rezon voye tout malè sa yo sou lavil Jerizalèm.
23 And they have comforted you, for you see their way and their doings, and you have known that I have not done all that which I have done in her for nothing,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
Wi, lè n'a wè jan moun sa yo t'ap viv ak sa yo t'ap fè, n'a konnen mwen te gen rezon fè lavil Jerizalèm sa m' te fè l' la. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
