Ezekiel 3
1 Then said he unto me, Son of man What thou findest, eat, —eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, manje sa ou jwenn. Manje woulo sa a pou ale pale ak lakay Israël.”
2 So I opened my mouth, —and he caused me to eat this roll.
Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen eLi te lonje ban m woulo a pou manje.
3 Then said he unto me Son of man. Thy belly, cause thou to eat and thy bowels, fill thou with this roll which I am giving unto thee. So I did eat, and it became in my mouth, as honey for sweetness.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, bay vant ou manje, e plen kò ou ak woulo sa ke Mwen ap bay ou a.” Alò, mwen te manje li. Li te dous kon siwo myèl nan bouch mwen.
4 Then said he unto me, — Son of man Go get thee unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak with my words, unto them.
Konsa, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, ale lakay Israël pou pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo.
5 For not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue, art thou sent —[but] unto the house of Israel:
Paske ou p ap voye kote yon pèp ak langaj ki difisil, men a pèp Israël la.
6 not unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, —surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.
Ni a anpil pèp ak pawòl ki pa ka konprann, ni lang difisil, ak pawòl ke ou p ap ka konprann. Men Mwen voye ou kote sila ki ta dwe koute ou yo.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, —for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.
Malgre sa, lakay Israël p ap dakò koute ou, akoz yo p ap dakò koute Mwen menm. Anverite, tout lakay Israël gen tèt di e wondonmon.
8 Lo! I have made thy face bold like as their faces, and thy forehead bold like as their forehead.
Gade byen, Mwen te fin fè figi ou di kont figi yo, e fwontèn ou di kont fwontèn yo.
9 As an adamant harder than flint, have I made thy forehead, —thou shalt not fear them neither shalt thou be dismayed at their faces, For a perverse house, they are!
Tankou dyaman, pi di pase silèks, Mwen te fè fwontèn ou. Pa krent yo ni vin twouble devan yo, malgre yo se yon kay rebèl.”
10 Then said he unto me, — Son of man. All my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive thou into thy heart and in thine ears, hear thou:
Anplis, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, pran mete nan kè ou tout pawòl Mwen yo, ke Mwen va pale a ou e koute ak atansyon.
11 then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.
Ale kote egzile yo, fis a pèp ou yo. Pale ak yo e di yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’”
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, — Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e mwen te tande yon gwo bri k ap gwonde dèyè m: “Beni se glwa SENYÈ a nan plas Li a.”
13 Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.
Epi mwen te tande zèl a kreyati vivan yo, youn k ap touche lòt e bri a wou yo bò kote yo, menm yon gwo bri k ap gwonde.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, —and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but the hand of Yahweh upon me was strong.
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e te pran m ale. Mwen te vini byen anmè ak laraj nan lespri m, e men SENYÈ a te fò sou mwen.
15 Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,
Konsa, mwen te vini kote egzile ki te rete akote rivyè Kebar yo nan Thel-Abib. Mwen te chita la, etonen nèt pandan sèt jou kote yo te rete a.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying
Nan fen sèt jou yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini sou mwen e te di:
17 Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel, —and thou shalt hear, at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
“Fis a lòm, Mwen te chwazi ou kon gadyen pou lakay Israël. Depi lè ou tande yon pawòl sòti nan bouch mwen, avèti yo li soti nan Mwen.
18 When I say to the lawless man— Thou shalt surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless way, to save himself alive the same lawless man in his iniquity shall die, but his blood, at thy hand, will I require.
Lè Mwen di a mechan an: ‘Ou va, anverite, mouri’ e ou pa avèti li, ni pale fò pou avèti mechan an pou kite chemen mechan l lan, pou l ka viv, mechan sila a va mouri nan inikite li, men san li, mwen va egzije li soti nan men ou.
19 Whereas when thou hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness and from his lawless way he in his iniquity shall die, but Thou hast delivered thine own soul.
Men si ou te avèti mechan an, e li pa kite mechanste li a, ni chemen mechan li an, li va mouri nan inikite li, men ou delivre nanm ou.”
20 And when a righteous man hath turned from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling- block to be laid before him he shall die, —though thou hast not warned him, in his sin, shall he die, neither shall be remembered his righteous deeds which he hath done, but his blood, at thy hand will I require;
“Ankò, lè yon nonm ladwati ta vire kite ladwati pou komèt inikite e Mwen plase yon obstak devan l, li va mouri. Akoz ou pa t avèti li, li va mouri nan peche li e zèv ladwati ke li te konn fè yo, p ap sonje, men san li, mwen va egzije li nan men ou.
21 whereas when Thou hast warned a righteous man. That a righteous man must not sin and he hath not sinned, he shall surely live in that he took warning, and thou hast delivered thine own soul.
Sepandan, si ou te avèti nonm dwat la ke moun ladwati pa dwe peche, e li pa peche, li va anverite viv, akoz li te koute avètisman an; epi ou delivre nanm ou.”
22 Then came upon me there the hand of Yahweh, —and he said unto me, Arise go forth into the valley, and there, will I speak with thee.
Men a SENYÈ a te sou mwen la, e Li te di m: “Leve ou menm, ale deyò nan plèn nan, epi la, Mwen va pale avèk ou.”
23 So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, -and I fell upon my face.
Konsa, mwen te leve ale nan plèn nan. Epi gade byen, glwa a SENYÈ a te kanpe la, tankou glwa ke m te wè akote rivyè Kebar a. Epi mwen te tonbe sou figi m.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet, —and he spake with me and said unto me, Go in shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house,
Nan lè sa a, Lespri a te antre nan mwen. Li te fè m kanpe sou pye m, Li te pale avè m e te di mwen: “Ale, fèmen tèt ou anndan lakay ou.
25 And thou—O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith, -. so that thou go not forth in their midst;
Selon ou menm, fis a lòm, y ap mete kòd sou ou pou mare ou ak yo. Konsa, ou p ap ka sòti deyò pami yo.
26 thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, — For a perverse house, they are!
Mwen va fè lang ou kole anlè bouch ou pou ou vin bèbè e pou ou p ap ka fè yo repwoch, paske lakay yo rebèl.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, —He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!
Men lè M pale ak ou, Mwen va ouvri bouch ou e ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’. Sila ki tande a, kite li tande; epi sila ki refize tande a, kite li refize; paske yo se yon kay rebèl.”
