< Ezekiel 36 >
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!
Seyè a di ankò: -Koulye a, nonm o! Men mesaj pou ou bay mòn Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
2 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our possession,
Wi, men mesaj mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye ban nou: Lènmi moun Izrayèl yo ap pase nou nan betiz, y'ap di: Tout ansyen mòn sa yo pou nou koulye a!
3 therefore, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to the people.
Se poutèt sa, bay mesaj sa a. Fè yo konnen sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di yo: Lè nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te anvayi peyi Izrayèl la pou yo te piye l', pou yo pran l' pou yo, tout moun t'ap pale sou nou, yo t'ap pase nou nan betiz.
4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,
Enben, koulye a, mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou. Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou tout mòn ak tout ti mòn, pou tout ravin ak tout fon nan peyi a, pou tout kay kraze moun yo kouri kite ak pou tout lavil yo ki tounen mazi. Moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te piye nou, yo te pase nou nan betiz.
5 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap move anpil, m'ap denonse lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo. M'ap denonse tout moun nan peyi Edon an tou. Lè yo t'ap pran peyi mwen an pou yo te piye l' nèt ale a, yo pa t' manke kontan, yo pa t' manke pase nou nan rizib.
6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of nations.
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj pou ou bay peyi Izrayèl la. Pale ak tout mòn yo, tout ti mòn yo, tout ravin yo ak tout fon yo. Di yo: Men sa Seyè a voye di: Koulye a mwen move, mwen fache, m'ap pale! Wi, nou te soufri lè lòt nasyon yo t'ap joure nou.
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?
enben wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di: Mwen leve men m' pou m' fè sèman lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo pral peye pou jan yo te pase nou nan betiz la.
8 And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.
Men, sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, pyebwa yo pral fè fèy ankò, y'ap donnen pou nou menm, pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la. Paske nou pa lwen tounen nan peyi nou.
9 For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.
Paske mwen kanpe la avèk nou. Mwen pral swen nou. Tè jaden nou yo pral raboure, yo pral plante.
10 And I have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.
Mwen pral fè tout moun fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo peple, yo pral vin anpil. Tout lavil yo pral plen moun. Yo pral rebati tout kay ki te kraze yo.
11 And I have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Mwen pral fè ni moun ni bèt peple nan peyi a. Yo pral vin anpil, y'ap fè anpil pitit, m'ap fè nou rete kote nou te konn rete anvan an. M'ap fè nou viv pi byen pase jan nou te konn viv la. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
12 And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.
M'ap mennen nou tounen, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou nou ka viv nan peyi nou an. Nou pral pran peyi a pou nou. Peyi a pral rele nou pa nou. Li p'ap janm kite pitit li yo mouri ankò.
13 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Yo te mache di: Peyi a ap manje moun li yo. L'ap touye tout pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se te vre.
14 Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Men, depi jòdi a, peyi a p'ap manje moun li yo ankò, li p'ap touye pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 And I do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
M'ap fè lòt nasyon yo sispann pase nou nan betiz. Nou p'ap tande jouman yo nan zòrèy nou ankò. Yo p'ap lonje dwèt sou nou ankò pou fè nou wont. Peyi a p'ap touye pitit li yo ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
16 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
17 “Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one before Me.
-Nonm o! Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete nan peyi yo a, yo mennen bak yo yon jan ki mete peyi a nan kondisyon li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Lavi yo t'ap mennen an te mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Nan je mwen yo pa t' pi bon pase yon fi ki gen lalin li.
18 And I pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.
Se poutèt sa mwen fè yo santi jan mwen ka move sou yo, paske yo te fè anpil san koule nan peyi a, yo te mete zidòl toupatou. Konsa yo te mete peyi a nan kondisyon pou l' pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen ankò.
19 And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.
Mwen gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Mwen simaye yo nan tout peyi etranje yo. Mwen pini yo pou jan yo te mennen bak yo mal ak pou tou sa yo te fè.
20 And one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.
Nan tout peyi kote yo rive, yo lakòz moun derespekte non mwen ki yon non apa. Yo fè moun ap di sou yo: Men pèp Seyè a wi! Yo blije soti kite peyi li te ba yo a!
21 And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.
Sa te ban m' tèt chaje pou m' te wè jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te lakòz moun t'ap derespekte non m' nan tout peyi kote yo pase.
22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.
Se poutèt sa, w'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Sa m' pral fè a, se pa pou tèt nou m'ap fè l', tande. Se poutèt non mwen ki yon non apa, non nou te trennen nan labou nan tout peyi kote nou pase yo.
23 And I have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
Menm jan nou te trennen non m' nan labou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, konsa m' pral sèvi ak nou pou fè lòt nasyon yo wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' se yon Bondye ki apa. Lè sa a, nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
24 And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your land,
M'ap wete nou nan mitan nasyon yo, m'ap sanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi pa nou an.
25 And I have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.
M'ap benyen nou nan bon dlo klè pou nou ka vin nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m', m'ap wete tout vye bagay derespektan nou t'ap fè yo ak tout zidòl nou yo.
26 And I have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.
M'ap mete lòt santiman nan kè nou. M'ap mete lòt lide nan tèt nou. M'ap wete tèt di nou an, m'ap fè nou tande lè m' pale nou.
27 And I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done them.
M'ap mete Lespri m' nan nou, konsa m'ap fè nou mache dwat dapre lòd mwen ban nou, pou nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè. N'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
28 And you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
Lè sa a, n'a rete nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt nou yo. Se nou menm ki pral pèp ki rele m' pa mwen. Mwen menm se Bondye nou m'ap ye.
29 And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on you.
M'ap delivre nou anba tout vye bagay mal nou t'ap fè yo. M'ap bay ble yo lòd pou yo donnen anpil. Konsa mwen p'ap janm voye grangou sou nou ankò.
30 And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.
M'ap fè pye fwi nou yo ak jaden nou yo donnen an kantite. Konsa, nou p'ap nan grangou, nou p'ap wont ankò devan lòt nasyon yo.
31 And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.
Lè sa a, n'a chonje jan nou te mennen bak nou mal, jan nou te fè sa ki pa t' bon menm. Nou pral gen degoutans pou tèt nou paske nou te fè mechanste ak anpil bagay lèd devan Bondye.
32 I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.
Nou menm, moun Izrayèl yo, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di nou: Mwen vle fè nou konnen se pa poutèt nou m'ap fè sa m'ap fè a. Non! Okontrè, se wont pou nou ta wont, se bese pou nou ta bese je nou pou sa nou te fè.
33 Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Jou m'a mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' lan, lè m'a wete nou anba tout peche nou yo, m'a kite nou al rete nan lavil nou yo, m'a kite nou rebati kay kraze nou yo.
34 And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,
Tout moun k'ap pase bò jaden nou yo te wè jan yo te ravaje, jan yo te tounen dezè. Men, mwen pral fè nou travay jaden nou yo ankò.
35 And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.
Konsa tout moun va di: Gade peyi ki te ravaje a non! Koulye a, li tounen yon bèl jaden tankou jaden Edenn lan. Gade jan lavil ki te fin kraze, piye, demoli yo tounen bèl lavil ak gwo ranpa plen moun non!
36 And the nations who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].
Lè sa a, rès moun lòt nasyon sou fwontyè nou yo ki chape anba lanmò va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rebati tout lavil ki te kraze yo, se mwen menm ki replante jaden ki te ravaje yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'!
37 Thus said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,
Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li di: M'ap kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin mande m' sekou. M'ap kite yo peple tankou yon bann mouton.
38 As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
Lavil ki te fin kraze yo pral plen moun tankou lavil Jerizalèm plen mouton yo mennen pou touye pou Bondye lè jou fèt yo. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
