Ezekiel 19
1 And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
Bondye pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Koulye a, plenn sò chèf peyi Izrayèl yo.
2 And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
Men sa ou pral di: Apa yon manman lyon manman ou tè ye! Li kouche nan mitan lyon yo, l'ap okipe pitit li yo.
3 And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Li pran yonn nan pitit li yo, li fè l' tounen yon jenn mal lyon. Jenn lyon an aprann jan pou l' kouri dèyè bèt pou l' manje. Li tanmen devore moun.
4 And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
Men, lòt nasyon yo pran nouvèl la. Yo pran l' nan pèlen twou yo te pare pou li a. Yo mete yon zanno fè nan nen l', yo trennen l' ale nan peyi Lejip.
5 And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
Manman lyon an tann, li tann jouk li pèdi espwa wè l' ankò. Li pran yon lòt nan pitit li yo, li fè l' tounen yon jenn mal lyon.
6 And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Li t'ap pwonmennen nan mitan lòt lyon yo, li tounen yon jenn mal lyon. Li aprann jan pou l' kouri dèyè bèt pou l' manje. Li tanmen devore moun.
7 And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
Li demoli fò yo. Li sakaje lavil yo. Chak fwa li gwonde, moun k'ap viv nan peyi a gen kè sote.
8 And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
Moun lòt nasyon yo leve dèyè l'. Moun soti toupatou nan pwovens bò kote l' yo, yo vin voye yon privye sou li. Yo pran l' nan pèlen twou yo te pare pou li a.
9 And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
Yo mete yon zanno fè nan nen l', yo fèmen l' nan yon kaj. Yo mennen l' bay wa Babilòn lan. Yo mete sòlda veye l' pou moun pa janm tande vwa l' ankò nan mòn peyi Izrayèl yo.
10 Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
Manman ou te tankou yon pye rezen plante bò kannal dlo. Pye rezen an te chaje ak fèy, li t'ap donnen anpil paske li te jwenn kont dlo li.
11 And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
Li pouse gwo branch. Branch yo tounen baton kòmandman wa. Pye rezen an grandi, li rive depase tèt tout lòt bwa yo. Tout moun t'ap gade jan li te wo, jan li te gen anpil branch.
12 And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
Men, yo move sou li, yo derasinen l', yo jete l' atè. Van lès koule tout donn li yo, li kase tout gwo branch li yo. Branch yo cheche, yo boule nan dife.
13 And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
Koulye a, se nan yon dezè li kanpe, nan yon tè sèk san dlo.
14 And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
Dife pran nan pye rezen an. Li boule ni branch li yo ni donn li yo. Li pa gen gwo branch ankò ki pou ta sèvi baton kòmandman pou wa. Sa a se yon chante pou yo chante anpil fwa pou plenn sò chèf peyi Izrayèl yo.
