< Ezekiel 27 >
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
2 “And you, son of man, lift up a lamentation concerning Tyre, and you have said to Tyre:
“Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
3 O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples to many islands, Thus said Lord YHWH: O Tyre, you have said, I [am] the perfection of beauty.
Di a Tyr, ‘Ou ki rete nan antre lanmè a, komèsan a pèp anpil peyi bò kot lanmè yo, Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “O Tyr, ou te di ‘Mwen pafè nan bèlte.’
4 Your borders [are] in the heart of the seas, Your builders have perfected your beauty.
Lizyè ou nan kè lanmè yo. Sila ki te bati ou yo te fè bèlte ou pafè.
5 They have built of firs from Senir all your double-boarded ships for you, They have taken of cedars from Lebanon to make a mast for you,

6 They made your oars of oaks from Bashan, They have made your bench of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from islands of Chittim.

7 Your sail has been of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt, To be for your ensign, Your covering has been of blue and purple from islands of Elishah.

8 Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad have been rowers for you, Your wise men, O Tyre, have been in you, They [are] your pilots.

25 Ships of Tarshish are journeying [with] your merchandise for you, And you are filled and honored greatly, In the heart of the seas.
“‘“Bato a Tarsis yo te transpòte machandiz ou yo. Epi ou te vin ranpli, te tèlman vin bèl nan kè lanmè yo.
26 Those rowing you have brought you into great waters, The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
Mèt zaviwon yo te mennen ou nan gwo dlo. Van lès la te vin kraze ou nan kè lanmè yo.
27 Your wealth and your wares, Your merchandise, your mariners, And your pilots, strengtheners of your breach, And the traders of your merchandise, And all your men of war, who [are] in you, And in all your assembly that [is] in your midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your fall,
Richès ou yo, byen ou yo, machandiz ou yo, maren ak pilòt ou yo, Gwo bòs pou ranje bato yo, vandè ki fè komès machandiz, Ak tout mesye lagè ki nan ou yo, ak tout twoup ki pami ou a, va tonbe antre nan kè lanmè yo nan jou boulvèsman ou an.
28 At the voice of the cry of your pilots the outskirts shake.
Nan son kri a pilòt ou yo, tè patiraj yo va souke.
29 And all handling an oar come down from their ships, Mariners [and] all the pilots of the sea stand on the land,
Tout moun ki konn manyen zaviwon, mesye maren ak tout pilòt lanmè yo va desann kite bato yo. Yo va kanpe atè,
30 And have sounded with their voice for you, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, They roll themselves in ashes;
epi yo va fè vwa yo vin tande sou ou, e yo va kriye anmè. Yo va jete pousyè sou tèt yo. Yo va vire tounen nan mitan sann yo.
31 And they have made themselves bald for you, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for you, In bitterness of soul—a bitter mourning.
Anplis, yo va fè tèt yo vin chòv pou ou, e mare senti yo ak twal sak. Yo va kriye pou ou nan amètim nanm yo, ak yon plenyen byen anmè.
32 And their sons have lifted up a lamentation for you, And they have lamented over you, Who [is] as Tyre? As the cut-off one in the midst of the sea?
Anplis, nan gwo kri yo fè, yo va fè leve yon lamantasyon pou ou, e menm kriye pou ou: ‘Se kilès ki tankou Tyr, tankou sila ki rete an silans nan mitan lanmè a?’
33 With the outgoing of your wares from the seas, You have filled many peoples, With the abundance of your riches, and your merchandise, You have enriched [the] kings of earth.
Lè tout byen ou yo te sòti toupatou sou lanmè yo, ou te fè kè anpil pèp kontan. Ak fòs kantite richès ak machandiz ou yo, ou te fè wa latè yo vin rich.
34 At the time of [your] being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Your merchandise and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.
Alò, nan moman an, lè ou vin kraze nèt pa lanmè yo, nan fon dlo yo, machandiz ou ak tout twoup ou yo te tonbe pami ou.
35 All inhabitants of the islands have been astonished at you, And their kings have been severely afraid, They have been troubled in countenance.
Tout sila ki rete nan peyi kot lanmè yo te vin efreye de ou, e wa yo vin plen ak gwo laperèz. Vizaj yo vin twouble.
36 Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for you, You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time!”
Komèsan pami pèp yo vin sifle anlè kon koulèv sou ou. Lafèn ou te vreman etonnan, e ou p ap la ankò, jis pou tout tan.”’”
