< Ezekiel 29 >
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Nan dizyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa, nan douz nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;
Fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont Farawon, wa Égypte la, e pwofetize kont li ak tout Égypte.
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, thou great dragon, that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest, “My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.”
Pale e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, Farawon, wa Égypte, gwo mons la ki kouche nan mitan rivyè li yo, k ap di: ‘Rivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e se mwen menm ki te fè li.’
4 And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to cleave to thy scales, and I will draw thee forth from the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers which cleave to thy scales.
Mwen va mete gwo kwòk nan machwè ou e fè pwason larivyè ou yo vin kole sou kal ou yo. Konsa, Mwen va rale fè ou sòti nan mitan rivyè ou yo, ansanm ak tout pwason larivyè ou yo k ap kole sou kal ou yo.
5 And I will cast thee into the desert, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven I have given thee for food.
Mwen va jete ou lwen nan dezè a, ou menm ak tout pwason rivyè ou yo. Ou va tonbe nan chan ouvri. Ou p ap rasanble ni reyini ankò. Mwen te bay ou kon manje bèt latè ak zwazo syèl yo.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah; because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
“‘“Konsa, tout moun ki rete an Égypte va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. Paske yo te sèlman yon gòl fèt ak wozo pou lakay Israël.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy handle, thou didst break and pierce their whole shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst go to pieces, and madest all their loins to shake.
Lè yo te kenbe ou nan men yo, ou te kraze e chire tout men ak zepòl yo, Epi lè yo te apiye sou ou, ou te kraze kwis yo.”
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee;
“‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va mennen sou ou nepe a, e Mwen va koupe retire nèt de ou ni moun, ni bèt.
9 and the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he hath said, “The river is mine, and I have made it.”
Peyi Égypte va devni yon dezolasyon ak yon savann dezole. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. “‘“Paske ou te di: ‘Larivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e mwen te fè l.’
10 Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers; and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol even to Syene, and to the borders of Ethiopia.
Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen kont ou, e Mwen kont rivyè ou yo. Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon savann dezole ak yon dezolasyon, soti Migdol jis rive Syène, menm pou rive nan lizyè Éthiopie.
11 There shall not pass through it the foot of man, and the foot of beast shall not pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Pye a moun p ap pase ladann, pye a bèt p ap pase ladann, e l ap rete san moun pandan karantan.
12 I will make the land of Egypt desolate amidst the lands that are desolate, and her cities, among the cities that are laid waste, shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Konsa, Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon dezolasyon nan mitan peyi ki dezole yo. Vil li yo, nan mitan a vil ki fin devaste nèt yo, yo va dezole pandan karantan. Mwen va gaye Ejipsyen yo pami nasyon yo, e lage yo toupatou pami peyi yo.”
13 Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the nations whither they are scattered;
“‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan fen karantan an, Mwen va rasanble Ejipsyen yo soti nan pèp kote yo te gaye yo.
14 and I will bring back the captives of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a mean kingdom;
Mwen va ranvèse fòtin li yo, e fè yo retounen nan peyi Pathros, nan peyi orijin yo. La, yo va rete yon wayòm ki fèb.
15 it shall be the meanest of all kingdoms; it shall no more exalt itself above the nations; for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Li va pi fèb pami wayòm yo e li p ap janm leve tèt li ankò kon chèf lòt nasyon yo. Mwen va fè yo tèlman vin piti ke yo p ap renye sou lòt nasyon yo.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to my remembrance their iniquity in looking to them for help; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
Konsa, li p ap janm sèvi ankò kon konfyans pou lakay Israël la, pou l pa kontinyepote nan tèt yo, inikite lè yo te vire kote Égypte la. Epi yo va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”’”
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Alò, nan venn-setyèm ane, nan premye mwa, nan premye jou nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
18 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet neither he nor his army had wages from Tyre for the service which he served against it.
“Fis a lòm, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè lame li a travay di kont Tyr; tout tèt te vin chòv e tout epòl te fwote vin fè maleng. Men li menm ak lame li pa t reyisi salè soti nan Tyre pou travay li te fè kont li an.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her plunder; and it shall be wages for his army.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va bay peyi Égypte a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan. Epi li va pote fè ale tout pèp li yo, kaptire donmaj li yo, e sezi li kon piyaj. Sa a va sèvi kon salè pou lame li a.
20 For his wages for his service I will give him the land of Egypt; for they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Mwen te bay li peyi Égypte pou travay ke li te fè a, paske yo te aji pou Mwen,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
21 In that day will I cause a horn to grow forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee to open the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
“Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè yon kòn vin pouse pou lakay Israël, e Mwen va ouvri bouch ou nan mitan yo. Epi konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
