Ezekiel 22
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
2 “And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its abominations,
“Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, èske ou va jije? Èske ou jije vil sanglan an? Alò, fè l konnen tout abominasyon li yo.
3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
Ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon vil k ap vèsè san nan mitan li, pou tan pa li ka vini e ki fè zidòl kont enterè li, pou l ka vin souye!
4 You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
Ou te vin koupab pa san ke ou te vèse yo e vin souye pa zidòl ke ou te fè yo. Konsa, ou te mennen jou ou a vin pre, e ou fin rive nan ane ou yo. Akoz sa a, Mwen te fè ou vin yon repwòch pou nasyon yo, e yon vye rizib pou tout peyi yo.
5 The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
Sila ki pre ak sila ki lwen ou yo va moke ou, ou menm ak move repitasyon, plen twoub.
6 Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
“‘“Gade byen, chèf Israël yo, yo chak selon fòs pouvwa yo, te nan ou ak bi pou vèse san an.
7 They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
Nan ou yo te trete papa ak manman a lejè. Etranje yo te oprime nan mitan ou. Òfelen ak vèv yo te maltrete nan ou.
8 You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
Ou te meprize bagay sen Mwen yo, e ou pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
9 Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
Mesye medizan yo te anndan ou nan bi pou yo ta ka vèse san. Nan ou, yo te manje sou lotèl mòn yo. Nan mitan ou, yo te komèt zak ki tèlman lèd.
10 One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
Nan ou, yo te dekouvri nidite a papa yo. Nan ou, yo te imilye fanm ki pa t pwòp akoz règ yo.
11 And each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
Youn te komèt abominasyon ak madanm a vwazen li, e yon lòt, nan yon zak byen lèd, te souye bèlfi li. Epi yon lòt, nan ou, te imilye sè li, pitit a papa li.
12 They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
Nan ou, yo te touche anba tab pou yo ta vèse san. Ou te pran enterè ak pwofi, ou te fè donmaj a vwazen ou yo pou ou kab vin genyen pa opresyon, e ou te bliye Mwen,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
13 And behold, I have struck My hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
“‘“Alò, gade byen, Mwen frape men M kont pwofi malonèt ou, ke ou te vin genyen nan vèse san moun pami ou.
14 Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [it].
Èske kè ou kapab sipòte, oswa èske men ou kapab gen fòs nan jou ke Mwen va regle ou a? Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te pale e Mwen va aji.
15 And I have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
Mwen va gaye ou pami nasyon yo, Mwen va dispèse ou nan tout peyi yo, e Mwen va fè disparèt sa ki pa pwòp pami ou.
16 And you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Ou va pwofane tèt ou devan zye a tout nasyon yo, e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
17 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
“Fis a lòm, lakay Israël la te vin dechè pou Mwen. Yo tout se bwonz, fè blan, fè ak plon nan fou. Yo se dechè ajan.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem,
Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz nou tout te vin dechè, pou sa, gade byen, Mwen pral rasanble nou nan mitan Jérusalem.
20 A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
Jan yo rasanble ajan, bwonz, fè, plon, ak fè blan nan fou pou soufle dife sou li pou fann li, konsa, Mwen va rasanble nou nan mekontantman Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, e la, Mwen va depoze nou pou fann nou.
21 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
Mwen va rasanble nou pou soufle sou nou avèk dife kòlè Mwen, e nou va vin fann nèt nan mitan li.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on you.”
Tankou ajan fann nan founo, se konsa nou va fann nan mitan li. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou nou.’”
23 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
24 “Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
“Fis a lòm, di a fi a: ‘Ou se peyi ki pa pwòp la, ki p ap gen lapli nan jou kòlè a.’
25 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
Gen konplo a pwofèt nan mitan li yo, kon yon lyon voras k ap dechire bèt pou li manje. Yo fin devore nanm moun. Yo te pran trezò presye ak tout bagay chè yo. Yo te fè anpil vèv nan mitan li.
26 Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
Prèt li yo te fè vyolans kont lalwa Mwen an, e te pwofane bagay sen Mwen yo. Yo pa t fè okenn separasyon antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn, ni yo pa t ansegne distenksyon antre sa ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp. Yo kache zye yo devan Saba Mwen yo, e Mwen vin pwofane pami yo.
27 Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
Prens ki anndan li yo tankou lou k ap dechire bèt pou yo manje, k ap vèse san e detwi lavi pou fè benefis malonèt.
28 And its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has not spoken.
Pwofèt li yo blanchi tout bagay ak lacho pou yo, nan fè fo vizyon ak divinasyon manti pou yo; divinasyon k ap di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’, lè SENYÈ a pa t pale.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
Pèp peyi a te pratike opresyon ak vòl, yo te vòlè malere ak endijan yo, e te oprime sila ki rete pami yo san jistis.
30 And I seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have found none.
“Mwen te chache pami yo yon nonm ki pou ta bati miray la, e kanpe nan brèch la devan Mwen pou peyi a, pou M pa ta detwi li, men Mwen pa t jwenn pèsòn.
31 And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
Pou sa, Mwen fin vide chalè a kòlè Mwen sou yo. Mwen te konsonmen yo nèt ak dife a chalè kòlè Mwen. Chemen pa yo, Mwen te fè l desann sou tèt yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
