Ezekiel 14
1 And men from [the] elderly of Israel come to me, and sit before me.
Epi kèk nan ansyen Israël yo te parèt kote mwen e te chita devan m.
2 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
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?
“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 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,
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 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.
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 said Lord YHWH: Turn back, indeed, turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations,
“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 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;
“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 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.
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 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.
“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 have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
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 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.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, e te di:
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—
“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 [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.
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 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—
“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 [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.
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 [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—
“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 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.
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] 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—
“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 [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.”
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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.
