< Ezekiel 22 >
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 "You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
-Nonm o! Eske ou vle jije lavil ki renmen fè san koule a? W'a fè l' konnen tout vye bagay derespektan li te fè yo.
3 You shall say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Woe to the city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her.
W'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. Ou reskonsab lanmò anpil moun ki t'ap viv nan mitan ou. Ou fè vye zidòl pou ou avili tèt ou nan fè sèvis pou yo.
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
Poutèt tout krim ou fè yo, ou antò. Avèk tout zidòl w'ap sèvi yo, ou pa nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Ou fè jou pa ou la pwoche, ou fè lè ou la rive! Se poutèt sa mwen kite nasyon yo pase ou nan betiz, tout moun ap lonje dwèt sou ou.
5 Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
Nan peyi pre ak nan peyi lwen, y'ap pase ou nan rizib. Ou se yon lavil ki gen move non, yon lavil plen dezòd.
6 "'"Look, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
Tout chèf peyi Izrayèl yo gen konfyans nan pwòp fòs yo. Yon sèl bagay yo konnen, se touye moun.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
Nan lavil la, pesonn pa respekte papa ak manman yo ankò. Y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo. Y'ap maltrete fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki san papa.
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Nou pa respekte kay yo mete apa pou mwen yo, ni jou repo m' yo.
9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
Plen moun nan mitan ou k'ap mache denonse moun, k'ap bay manti sou moun pou fè touye yo. Gen lòt k'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl yo. Gen lòt menm, se pran plezi yo nèt ale nan tout kalite dezòd.
10 In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
Genyen k'ap kouche ak madanm papa yo. Genyen k'ap fòse madanm yo kouche ak yo atout yo gen règ yo.
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Genyen k'ap fè adiltè ak madanm moun Izrayèl parèy yo, k'ap kouche ak bèlfi yo san yo pa wont. Genyen k'ap fè kadejak sou pitit fi papa yo ki pa menm manman ak yo.
12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,' says the LORD.
Genyen k'ap touye moun pou lajan. Gen lòt ankò k'ap bay frè parèy yo ponya, y'ap mande yo enterè pou lajan yo prete yo. Y'ap pran tou sa frè parèy yo genyen pa fòs. Men mwen menm, yo bliye m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
13 "'"Look, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
Mwen pral frape pye m' atè, paske nou vòlò twòp, nou touye moun twòp.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
Jou m'ap regle avè ou la, ou p'ap gen kouraj pou ou sipòte, ou p'ap menm ka leve bra ou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
M'ap gaye tout pèp ou a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. M'ap mache simaye nou nan peyi etranje yo. M'ap fè nou sispann fè malpwòpte nou t'ap fè nan mitan nou an.
16 You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am the LORD."'"
Akòz tou sa ou fè ki derespektan yo, lòt nasyon yo pral trennen ou nan labou. Men ou menm, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
17 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale ave m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
-Nonm o! Pou mwen moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa vo anyen. Yo tankou kras ki rete nan fon chodyè lè y'ap fonn ajan, kwiv, asye, fè ak plon. Yo tankou kras nan fon chodyè, yo pa vo anyen.
19 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Because you have all become dross, therefore, look, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Koulye a nou tounen kras nan fon chodyè fèblantye, mwen pral mete nou tout fè pil nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm.
20 As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
Menm jan yo mete vye moso ajan, kwiv, fè, plon ak eten nan yon chodyè sou gwo dife pou fonn yo wete kras, m'ap move sou nou, m'ap fè kòlè, m'ap tankou dife y'ap soufle anba chodyè fèblantye pou fonn metal yo, m'ap fè nou fonn.
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
Wi, m'ap mete nou ansanm nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap limen dife anba nou, m'ap fache sou nou, m'ap fonn nou.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.'"
Nou pral fonn nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm tankou ajan k'ap fonn nan chodyè fèblantye. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki move sou nou konsa.
23 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
24 "Son of man, tell her, 'You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation,'
-Nonm o! W'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo yo rete nan yon peyi ki gen madichon. Wi, lè m'a move sou yo, yo p'ap jwenn yon degout lapli.
25 whose princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.
Chèf ki rete nan peyi a tankou lyon k'ap gwonde bò yon bèt yo fin touye. Yo devore moun, yo pran tout richès ak tout byen yo jwenn. Se pa de fanm yo kite san mari.
26 Her cohanim have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Prèt yo menm pa kenbe lwa mwen an, yo pa gen respè pou kay ki apa pou mwen an. Yo pa fè diferans ant bagay ki apa pou mwen ak bagay ki pa apa pou mwen. Yo pa moutre moun sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon pou sèvis mwen. Yo pa konn sa ki rele jou repo mwen yo. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pa respekte m' menm.
27 Her officials in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
Zotobre yo menm nan lavil la, yo tankou chen mawon k'ap dechèpiye bèt yo touye. Y'ap touye moun pou yo vòlò byen yo.
28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, 'Thus says the LORD,' when the LORD has not spoken.
Pwofèt yo kache peche pou chèf yo tankou moun k'ap kouvri yon vye miray ak krepisay. Y'ap fè vizyon ki pa vre. Y'ap bay manti sou sa ki pou rive. Yo pretann se mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ba yo, men, mwen pa janm pale ak yo.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
Nan tout peyi a moun yo lage kò yo nan fè mechanste, nan vòlò zafè moun. Y'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite yo, y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon yo san rezon.
30 "And I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
Mwen chache nan mitan yo yon moun ki ta ka bati yon miray, ki ta ka kanpe kote miray yo ap kraze a, pou pran defans peyi a lè m'a fè kòlè pou m' detwi l', men mwen pa jwenn pesonn.
31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the LORD."
Se konsa, mwen pral move sou yo. Tankou yon dife, mwen pral disparèt yo. Mwen pral fè yo peye pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
