Ezekiel 23
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
-Nonm o! Vwala te gen de fi, pitit menm manman.
3 And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Depi lè yo te jenn ti nègès y' al fè jennès nan peyi Lejip. Se la yo lage kò yo nan lavi gason. Se la yo kite gason woule tete yo pou premye fwa.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Pi gran an te rele Ola, pi piti a Oliba. Ola se peyi Samari, Oliba se peyi Jerizalèm. Mwen marye ak tou de, yo fè pitit gason ak pitit fi pou mwen.
5 And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
Men, atout Ola te madanm mwen, li lage kò l' nan dezòd. Li t'ap mouri pou moun peyi Lasiri, vwazen l' yo. Li fè zafè ak yo.
6 Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
Mesye sa yo te sòlda avèk bèl inifòm violèt, gwo zotobre, ak grannèg. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, bon kavalye moute sou chwal yo.
7 And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
Li te kouche ak tout gwo chèf peyi Lasiri yo. Sitèlman li te cho dèyè mesye sa yo, li avili tèt li, li tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl moun peyi Lasiri yo.
8 And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
Li pa t' sispann fè metye jennès li te aprann nan peyi Lejip la. Depi lè li te jenn ti nègès, gason ap kouche l', y'ap woule tete l', y'ap sèvi avè l' tankou yon jennès.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
Se poutèt sa mwen lage l' nan men nonm li yo, moun peyi Lasiri yo. Se dèyè yo li te cho konsa!
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
Yo mete l' toutouni, yo pran pitit gason ak pitit fi li yo. Lèfini, yo touye l' anba kout nepe. Se te yon egzanp pou tout fanm. Yo te fè l' peye pou sa l' te fè a dapre lalwa.
11 And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
Atout Oliba, sè l' la, te wè sa, li lage kò l' nan pi gwo dezòd toujou. Li tounen yon pi gwo jennès pase Ola.
12 She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
Li menm tou li te cho dèyè mesye peyi Lasiri yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, sòlda ak bèl inifòm, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal, yon bann bèl jenn gason.
13 And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
Mwen wè li te fin avili tèt li nèt: dezyèm sè a pa t' pi bon pase premye a.
14 And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
Men, Oliba al pi lwen toujou nan metye jennès la. Li wè pòtre gason yo te fè sou yon miray ak bèl penti wouj. Se te pòtre chèf peyi Babilòn yo.
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
Avèk bèl sentiwon pase nan ren yo, tèt yo mare ak bèl mouchwa madras, mesye yo te abiye tankou gwo chèf. Se te pòtre moun peyi Babilòn. Se la yo te fèt.
16 And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
Wè li wè pòtre mesye yo, li anvi yo. Li voye mesaje bò kote yo nan peyi Babilòn.
17 And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Mesye yo vini, yo fè lamou, yo kouche avè l'. Yo pran kont plezi yo avè l', yo fin avili li nèt. Bout pou bout, li vin rayi yo.
18 And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
Se li menm ankò ki mete tout zafè l' deyò. Li fè tout moun konnen se jennès li ye. Li mete l' toutouni, li fè m' degoute l' tankou lòt sè a.
19 And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
Se atò li lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Li vin chonje lè l' te jenn ti nègès ap fè jennès nan peyi Lejip.
20 And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
Li t'ap kouri dèyè gason ki cho tankou ou ta di mal bourik ak poulen chwal ki pran sant fenmèl.
21 You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
Oliba, ou te dèyè pou ou te fè tout dezòd ou te konn fè yo lè ou te jenn ti nègès nan peyi Lejip kote pou premye fwa mesye yo te woule tete ou, kote yo te mete ou nan lavi gason.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
Se poutèt sa, Oliba, men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a voye ba ou: Ou te vin rayi nonm ou yo! Enben, mwen pral moute tèt yo sou ou, mwen pral fè yo soti toupatou pou yo vin sènen ou.
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
Tout moun Babilòn yo ak moun peyi Kalde yo, moun lavil Pekòd, moun lavil Choa, moun lavil Koa, ansanm ak tout moun peyi Lasiri yo, mwen pral sanble tout bèl jenn gason yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, tout chèf, tou sa ki gen gwo grad, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal yo. Mwen pral sanble yo tout.
24 And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
Y'ap soti nan nò, y'ap mache sou ou avèk yon gwo lame, anpil cha lagè ak anpil kabwa pwovizyon. Avèk gwo plak fè pou pwoteje yo, kas yo nan tèt yo, yo pral sènen ou toupatou. M' pral lage ou nan men yo pou yo jije ou dapre lwa pa yo.
25 And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
Ou te pouse m' fè jalouzi, yo pral move sou ou jouk yo p'ap kapab ankò. Yo pral koupe bwa nen ou ak fèy zòrèy ou yo. Yo pral touye pitit ou yo. Wi, yo pral pran pitit gason ak pitit fi ou yo nan men ou, y'ap boule yo tou vivan.
26 And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou te konn mete sou ou.
27 And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
M'ap mete yon fren nan dezòd ak metye jennès ou t'ap fè depi nan peyi Lejip la. Ou p'ap wè yo ankò devan je ou. Ou p'ap chonje peyi Lejip ankò.
28 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Mwen pral lage ou nan men moun ou pa vle wè yo, moun ki te ba ou degoutans yo.
29 And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
Yo pral maltrete ou tankou moun yo rayi. Yo pral pran tou sa ou te travay fè, y'ap kite ou toutouni, san rad sou ou tankou yon jennès. Se move lanvi ou yo ak lenkondite ou yo
30 To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
ki pral lakòz tout malè sa yo tonbe sou ou. Ou te tounen yon jennès pou mesye lòt nasyon yo, ou avili tèt ou, ou tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl yo.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
Ou mache pye pou pye dèyè sè ou la. Se poutèt sa m'ap pini ou menm jan mwen te pini l' la.
32 Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Ou pral bwè nan gode sè ou la, yon gode byen fon. Tout moun pral pase ou nan betiz, nan rizib. Gode a plen ra bò.
33 You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
Li pral fè ou sou. W'ap an mal makak. Se yon gode k'ap fè moun pè, yon gode k'ap fini avè ou, gode Samari, sè ou la.
34 And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
W'ap bwè tout, w'ap kite l' vid. Lèfini, w'ap kraze l' anba dan ou! Moso yo pral filange tete ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
35 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Paske ou te bliye m', ou te vire do ou ban mwen, ou pral soufri pou tout lenkondite ak dezòd ou te fè yo.
36 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou pare pou jije Ola ansanm ak Oliba? Ou pral mete devan yo tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap fè yo.
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
Yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun, yo fè adiltè ak zidòl, yo touye pitit yo te fè pou mwen. Yo ofri yo pou yo boule yo bay zidòl.
38 Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
Se pa sa ase yo fè m'. Menm lè sa a, yo derespekte tanp mwen an. Yo pa respekte regleman jou repo m' yo.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Menm jou yo touye pitit yo pou zidòl yo, yo vin nan tanp mwen an pou yo derespekte l'. Men sa yo fè anndan kò kay mwen an.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, yo voye mesaje al envite gason soti byen lwen vin jwenn yo. Mesye yo vini. De sè yo benyen byen pwòp, yo pentire je yo. Yo mete bijou yo sou yo pou resevwa.
41 And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
Yo chita sou bèl gwo kabann, yo pare yon ti tab devan kabann lan. Lèfini, yo pran lansan ak lwil mwen te ba yo, yo mete sou li.
42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
Apre sa, moun tande vwa yon pakèt gason manfouben k'ap pran plezi avèk yo. Se te yon bann malandren yo mennen soti nan dezè a. Mesye yo mete bèl braslè nan ponyèt medam yo ak bèl kouwòn sou tèt yo chak.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
Mwen di nan kè m': Fanm lan fini afòs li fè adiltè. Atousa l'ap fè jennès toujou.
44 And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
Men, mesye yo tounen anpil fwa lakay li tankou kay yon jennès. Yo tounen lakay Ola ak Oliba, fanm devègonde sa yo.
45 As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
Men, gason ki mache dwat yo pral jije yo tankou yo jije fanm k'ap fè adiltè epi k'ap touye moun, paske yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun.
46 For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Sanble yon foul moun pou mache sou yo, pou fè yo pè, pou piye tou sa yo genyen!
47 And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
Se pou foul moun yo kalonnen yo wòch jouk yo touye yo. Se pou yo depatcha yo ak nepe, touye pitit gason ak pitit fi yo, lèfini pou yo mete dife nan kay yo.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
Nan tout peyi a, m'ap fè moun sispann fè libètinaj. Sa va sèvi yon avètisman pou tout medam yo, pou yo pa fè tankou nou.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
Pou nou menm, de sè sa yo, mwen pral pini nou pou libètinaj nou. M'ap fè nou peye peche nou fè lè nou t'ap sèvi zidòl yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt.
