Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Sou douzyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa, dizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 "Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
-Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon peyi Lejip. Bay mesaj sa a sou farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ak sou tout peyi Lejip.
3 Speak and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, 'My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.'
Pale avè l'. Di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. -Ou menm farawon an, wa peyi Lejip, mwen pral leve dèyè ou tou. Ou tankou yon gwo kayiman ki kouche nan larivyè Nil la. Ou di se pou ou larivyè Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
4 I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.
Mwen pral kwoke yon zen antravè nan machwè ou. Tout pwason larivyè a pral kole sou ou. Lèfini, m'ap rale ou soti nan larivyè a ak tout pwason yo kole sou ou.
5 I'll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You'll fall on the open field. You won't be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
Mwen pral voye ou jete ansanm ak tout pwason yo nan dezè a. Ou pral tonbe atè a. Yo p'ap ranmase ou, ni yo p'ap antere ou. M'ap fè ou rete la pou zwezo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa vin manje ou.
6 All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Lè sa a, tout moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Seyè a di ankò: -Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te konte sou ou, men ou pa t' pi solid pase yon baton wozo.
7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you splintered and dislocated their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you shattered and caused their legs to be unsteady."
Lè yo apiye sou ou, ou kase nan men yo, ou dechire tout po men yo. Wi, lè yo apiye sou ou, yo tonbe, ren yo kase.
8 "'Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.
Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ou: Mwen pral voye moun atake ou avèk nepe. Yo pral touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt lakay ou.
9 The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Because he has said, 'The river is mine, and I have made it;'
Peyi Lejip la pral tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete, yon pil mazi. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Ou te di se pou ou Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
10 therefore, look, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.
Enben, mwen pral leve dèyè ni ou, ni Nil ou a. Mwen pral fè peyi Lejip la tounen yon pil mazi, yon dezè kote moun pa rete depi lavil Migdòl nan nò jouk lavil Aswan nan sid, rive desann sou fwontyè peyi Letiopi.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
p'ap rete yon moun ni yon bèt nan peyi a. Pandan karant lanne peyi a ap rete san yon moun ladan l'.
12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
M'ap fè peyi Lejip la tounen peyi ki pi devaste sou tout latè. Pandan karant lanne tout lavil peyi Lejip yo pral tounen mazi. Y'ap kraze pi mal pase mazi nenpòt ki lòt lavil ki devaste. Mwen pral depòte moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt nasyon. M'ap gaye yo nan divès lòt peyi.
13 "'For thus says the LORD: "At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Apre karantan, m'ap pase men pran moun peyi Lejip yo nan mitan lòt nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a,
14 and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
m'ap mennen yo tounen lakay yo. M'ap fè yo al rete nan zòn Patwòs la, kote zansèt yo te soti a. Y'ap fòme yon ti peyi tou fèb.
15 It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Lè sa a, se va pi piti peyi nan tout peyi sou latè. Li p'ap janm rive donminen ankenn lòt nasyon. L'ap tèlman fèb, li p'ap janm ka fòse ankenn lòt nasyon fè volonte li.
16 It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the LORD."'"
Pèp Izrayèl la p'ap janm bezwen konte sou li ankò. Sa va fè pèp Izrayèl la chonje jan li te gen tò pou l' te fye moun sa yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt la.
17 It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Nan premye jou nan premye mwa, vennsetyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
18 "Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
-Nonm o! Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, fè lame l' la fè yon gwo jefò pou y' al atake lavil Tir. Li fè sòlda yo travay sitèlman nan pote chay lou, yo pèdi tout cheve nan mitan tèt yo, tout zepòl yo kòche. Men, ni wa a, ni lame l' la pa soti ak anyen apre gwo atak sa a yo te fè sou lavil la.
19 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Look, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Mwen pral bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, peyi Lejip la pou li. Li pral pran tout richès li yo, l'ap mete men sou tou sa li jwenn, l'ap piye peyi a nèt: Se konsa l'a peye sòlda li yo.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me,' says the LORD.
Wi, pou tout gwo sèvis li rann mwen yo, m'ap fè l' kado peyi Lejip la. Paske, se pou mwen yo t'ap travay. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
21 'In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"
Lè sa a, m'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la pran fòs. Ou menm menm, Ezekyèl, m'ap ba ou lizay lapawòl ankò pou tout moun ka tande ou. Konsa, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
