Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Manje sa m' ba ou la a. Manje woulo liv la. Apre sa, al pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Se konsa, mwen louvri bouch mwen, li fè m' manje woulo liv la.
3 He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Li di m' ankò. -Nonm o! Manje non, plen vant ou ak liv mwen ba ou a. Mwen manje l', li te dous nan bouch mwen kou siwo myèl.
4 He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Lèfini, Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Ale bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo tout pawòl mwen te di ou di yo.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Se pa bò kote yon nasyon ki pale yon lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Se bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm mwen voye ou.
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
Se pa bò kote bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki pale lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Si se te bò kote moun sa yo m' te voye ou, yo ta koute ou.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
Men, pa gen pyès moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap vle koute ou, paske yo pa vle koute m'. Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen tèt di ak move santiman nan kè yo.
8 Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Koulye a, m'ap fè ou kenbe tèt ak yo tankou yo kenbe tèt ak mwen an, pou ou ka koresponn ak yo.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
M'ap fè tèt ou di pase wòch, l'ap di tankou wòch dyaman. Pa pè yo, pa tranble devan yo. Se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
10 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
Bondye di ankò: -Nonm o! Louvri zòrèy ou, tande sa mapral di ou. Kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè ou.
11 And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Apre sa, ale bò kote moun yo te depòte yo, moun menm peyi avè ou yo. W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, m' voye di yo. Yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou, zafè yo!
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place."
Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè. Mwen tande yon bann vwa dèyè do m' ki t'ap di: Lwanj pou Seyè a ki fè wè gwo pouvwa li nan syèl kote l' rete a.
13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Mwen tande bri zèl bèt yo ki t'ap bat ansanm ak bri wou yo, ou ta di bri yon foul moun k'ap rele.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong on me.
Lespri a te leve m' anlè, li pote m' ale. Pouvwa Seyè a te vin chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Men, mwen te boulvèse, kè m' te sere.
15 Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Se konsa mwen rive lavil Tèl Abid toupre larivyè Keba kote moun yo te depòte yo te rete a. Pandan sèt jou, mwen rete la nan mitan yo, tou dekontwole apre tou sa m' te wè ak tou sa m' te tande.
16 It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Apre sèt jou sa yo, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
-Nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou nasyon Izrayèl la. W'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou, w'a avèti yo pou mwen.
18 When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Lè mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, si ou pa avèti l' pou l' chanje, pou l' kite move pant l'ap swiv la pou l' ka sove lavi l', l'ap toujou mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini mechan an pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo. Men ou menm, w'ap sove lavi pa ou.
20 "Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Si yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat tanmen fè sa ki mal, m'ap mete yon malè sou wout li pou l' mouri. Si ou pa avèti l', l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, mwen p'ap chonje jan l' te konn mache dwat anvan sa a. Men, se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."
Si okontrè, ou avèti yon moun k'ap mache dwat pou l' pa fè sa ki mal, si li koute ou, si li pa fè sa ki mal, li p'ap mouri. Ou menm tou, w'a sove lavi ou.
22 The hand of Jehovah was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Li di m' konsa: -Leve non. Soti al nan fon an. M'a pale la avè ou.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Mwen leve, mwen desann al nan fon an. Lè m' rive la, mwen wè gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann Seyè a te kanpe la, tankou mwen te wè l' bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Men, Lespri Bondye a antre sou mwen, li fè m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Li pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al fèmen kò ou lakay ou.
25 But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
Nonm o! Yo pral mete ou anba kòd. Y'ap mare ou byen mare, ou p'ap ka mete pwent pye ou deyò.
26 and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
Mwen pral fè lang ou lou nan bouch ou. W'ap bèbè, ou p'ap ka avèti move ras moun tèt di sa yo.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Apre sa, lè m'a pale avè ou ankò, m'a ba ou lapawòl, epi w'a ba yo mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a ba ou. Sa ki vle koute va koute, sa ki pa vle koute, zafè yo! Se yon move ras moun tèt di yo ye.
