< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Son of man, Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, - Prophesy, and thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
“Fis a lòm, pwofetize kont bèje Israël yo. Pwofetize e di a bèje sila yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè, bèje Israël yo k ap nouri pwòp tèt yo! Èske bèje yo pa dwe bay manje a bann mouton an?
3 The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
Nou manje grès e fè abiman ak len an. Nou kòche mouton gra a, san bay manje a bann mouton an.
4 The weak, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
Sila ki manke lasante yo, nou pa t ranfòse yo. Sa ki malad yo, nou pa t geri yo. Sa ki brize yo nou pa t panse yo. Sa ki gaye yo, nou pa t mennen yo retounen, ni nou pa t chache sa ki pèdi yo. Men ak opresyon e ak severite, nou te domine sou yo.
5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
Yo te gaye akoz yo te manke yon bèje. Yo te devni manje pou tout bèt sovaj nan chan a, e yo te vin gaye nèt.
6 My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
Bann mouton Mwen an te mache egare nan tout mòn yo, ak sou tout wo kolin yo. Bann mouton Mwen an te gaye sou tout sifas tè a, e pa t gen moun pou ale jwenn yo, ni chache yo.”
7 Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
“‘Pou sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:
8 As I live, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
“Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “anverite, akoz bann mouton Mwen an te vin viktim, bann mouton Mwen an te menm vin manje pa tout bèt chan yo, akoz yo te manke yon bèje. Bèje Mwen yo pa t chache bann mouton Mwen an, men bèje Mwen yo te nouri pwòp tèt pa yo. Konsa, yo pa t bay manje a bann mouton Mwen an.
9 Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
Akoz sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:”
10 Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont bèje yo, Mwen va egzije mouton Mwen yo nan men yo, e fè yo sispann bay manje a mouton yo. Konsa bèje yo p ap bay pwòp tèt yo manje ankò, men Mwen va delivre bann mouton Mwen an soti nan bouch yo, pou yo ka pa sèvi kon manje pou yo ankò.”
11 For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
“‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va chache mouton Mwen yo pou kont Mwen, e Mwen va chache jwenn yo.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness;
Kon yon bèje konn pran swen bann mouton li nan jou ke li pami mouton ki gaye yo, konsa Mwen va pran swen mouton Mwen yo. Epi Mwen va delivre yo soti de tout peyi ke yo te gaye yo nan jou gwo nwaj ki te plen tristès la.
13 And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land:
Mwen va mennen yo sòti pami pèp yo, rasanble yo soti nan peyi yo, e mennen yo nan pwòp peyi yo. Konsa, Mwen va bay yo manje sou mòn Israël yo, akote sous dlo yo ak tout kote ki abite nan peyi a.
14 In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
Mwen va bay yo manje nan yon bon patiraj e pak kote yo manje a, va sou wotè mòn Israël yo. Nan yon bon pak yo va kouche. Yo va manje sou patiraj rich nan mòn Israël yo.
15 I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
Mwen va bay manje a bann mouton pa M nan e Mwen va mennen yo nan repo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
16 That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
“Mwen va chache sila ki pèdi yo, mennen fè retounen sila ki gaye yo, panse sila ki blese yo, e ranfòse sa ki te malad. Men sila ki gra ak gwo fòs yo, Mwen va detwi yo. Mwen va bay yo manje nan jistis.”’
17 And as for you O my flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as the he-goats.
“Epi pou nou menm, bann Mwen an, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va jije antre yon mouton ak yon lòt, antre belye ak mal kabrit.
18 Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
Èske se yon bagay ki twò piti pou nou, pou nou ta manje nan bon patiraj, pou nou oblije foule anba pye nou rès patiraj nou yo? Oswa pou ou ta bwè nan dlo ki pwòp yo, pou ou oblije foule tout lòt yo ak pye nou?
19 And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
Pou bann mouton Mwen yo, oblije manje sa ke ou foule ak pye, e bwè sa ke ou fè vin sal ak pye ou!’
20 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
“Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a yo menm: ‘Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen va fè jijman antre mouton gra ak mouton mèg yo.
21 Because with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered them abroad
Akoz nou pouse ak bò kote e ak zepòl la, e lanse kòn sou tout sila ki fèb yo, jiskaske nou fin gaye yo a letranje,
22 Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
pou sa, Mwen va delivre bann mouton Mwen an e yo p ap viktim ankò. Epi Mwen va jije antre yon mouton ak yon lòt.
23 And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
Konsa, Mwen va plase sou yo yon sèl bèje, sèvitè Mwen an, David e li va bay yo manje. Li va bay yo manje li menm e li va vin bèje yo.
24 And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, have spoken;
Epi Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, va vin Bondye yo, e sèvitè Mwen an, David, va prens pami yo. Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale.
25 And I will solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep in the forests;
“‘Mwen va fè yon akò lapè ak yo e retire bèt sovaj sou peyi a pou yo ka viv ansekirite nan dezè a, e dòmi byen nan forè a.
26 And I, will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;
Mwen va fè yo menm ak tout kote ki antoure kolin Mwen yo vin yon benediksyon. Epi Mwen va fè bèl lapli tonbe, e lapli sa a va yon lapli ki pote benediksyon.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
Anplis, pyebwa nan chan yo va donnen fwi yo. Latè a va donnen pwodwi li, e yo va ansekirite nan peyi yo. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M fin kase fè jouk yo a, e delivre yo soti nan men a sila ki te fè yo esklav yo.
28 And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.
Yo p ap viktim a nasyon yo ankò, e bèt latè yo p ap devore yo ankò. Men yo va viv ansekirite e pèsòn p ap fè yo pè.
29 And I will raise up unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.
Mwen va etabli pou yo yon plantasyon ki plen rekonesans. Yo p ap viktim a gwo grangou ankò, ni yo p ap sipòte ensilt a nasyon yo ankò.
30 So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
Nan lè sa a, yo va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo avèk yo e ke yo menm, lakay Israël la, se pèp Mwen, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
31 Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Pou nou menm, mouton Mwen yo, mouton a patiraj pa Mwen yo, nou se lòm e Mwen se Bondye nou,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
