Ezekiel 12
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 “You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
-Nonm o! Se nan mitan yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di ou rete la a. Yo gen je, men yo pa wè anyen. Yo gen zòrèy, men yo pa tande anyen, paske se yon move ras moun wòklò ki gen tèt di yo ye.
3 Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
Koulye a, ou menm nonm o! Fè pakèt ou tankou yon moun k'ap kouri pou danje. Pati kite peyi a devan je yo gwo lajounen. W'a fè yo tout wè ou ap pati kite kote ou ye a pou ou ale yon lòt kote ou pa janm konnen! Sa ka fè yo rekonèt jan yo gen tèt di.
4 During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
Gwo lajounen w'a fè pakèt ou pati, pou yo ka wè ou. Lèfini, kite yo wè ou aswè ap soti tankou moun y'ap depòte yo.
5 Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
Antan y'ap gade ou, w'a fè yon twou nan miray la, w'a pase soti ladan l' ansanm ak pakèt ou a.
6 Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
La, devan je yo, w'a mete pakèt la sou zepòl ou, w'a met deyò nan fènwa a. W'a bouche je ou pou ou pa wè kote ou prale. Sa ou pral fè a va sèvi yon siy pou avèti moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
7 [So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te ban mwen lòd fè a. Jou sa a, gwo lajounen, mwen fè pakèt mwen tankou yon moun y'ap depòte ta fè l'. Nan aswè, mwen fè yon twou ak men m' nan miray la, mwen soti nan fènwa a. Antan tout moun la ap gade m', mwen chaje pakèt mwen sou zepòl mwen, m' ale.
8 The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
Nan denmen maten, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
9 “You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
-Nonm o! Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo, move ras moun tèt di sa yo, va mande ou sa w'ap fè la a,
10 [So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
w'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la voye ba yo. Mesaj sa a se va yon avètisman pou chèf lavil Jerizalèm lan ansanm ak pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan lavil la.
11 Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
W'a di yo tou sa ou te fè a, se tankou yon avètisman pou sa ki pral rive yo. Yo pral fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
12 Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
Chèf k'ap gouvènen yo a pral mete pakèt li sou zepòl li nan fènwa, l'ap chape kò l' nan yon twou y'a fè nan miray la pou li. L'ap bouche figi l' pou yo pa rekonèt li, li pa menm wè kote l'ap mete pye l'.
13 [it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
M'ap voye privye mwen dèyè li, m'ap pran l' ladan l'. Lèfini, m'ap mennen l' lavil Babilòn nan peyi moun Kalde yo. Men, l'ap mouri nan peyi sa a san li p'ap janm wè l' ak je l'.
14 I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
M'ap gaye tout moun ki te avè l' yo, gad pèsonèl li yo ak tout sòlda li yo, y'ap pran kouri nan tout direksyon. Men, m'ap fè lènmi kouri dèyè yo pou touye yo.
15 Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Lè m'a fin gaye yo tout nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, lè m'a fin simaye yo nan divès peyi etranje, lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
16 But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Men, m'ap kite de twa ladan yo chape, yo p'ap touye yo nan lagè, yo p'ap mouri nan grangou, ni anba move maladi. Konsa, lè y'a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, y'a rakonte jan yo te fè bagay ki derespektan, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
17 Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
18 “You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
-Nonm o! Lè w'ap manje, tranble kou fèy bwa. Bwè dlo ou ak kè sote, ak kè sere.
19 Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
W'a di moun peyi a men mesaj Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la voye bay moun lavil Jerizalèm yo k'ap viv toujou nan peyi a: Y'ap manje ak kè sere, y'ap bwè ak kè sote. Peyi a pral tounen yon savann, p'ap gen anyen ladan l' ankò. Tou sa, akòz mechanste moun k'ap viv ladan l' yo.
20 The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
Yo pral detwi lavil ki plen moun yo. Peyi a ap tounen yon dezè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
21 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
22 “You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
-Nonm o! Poukisa moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede repete pawòl sa a: Jou yo ap pase yonn apre lòt, sa yo te di k'ap rive a pa rive?
23 So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
Koulye a, di yo men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, voye ba yo: Mwen pral fè yo sispann repete pawòl sa a. Yo p'ap janm tande l' ankò nan bouch moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo: Men jou a rive. Men sa yo te di ki pou rive a pral rive vre!
24 No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
Nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la, p'ap gen moun k'ap fè vizyon pou twonpe moun ankò, p'ap gen pwofèt pou bay manti.
25 Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pral pale ak yo. Sa m'a di a gen pou l' rive, l'ap rive vre. Tande byen, bann moun wòklò, nou p'ap mouri anvan li rive. Non, se p'ap bagay k'ap pran twòp tan pou li rive. Sa mwen pral di a, m'ap fè l' rive vre. Se mwen menm Seyè ki sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
26 Yahweh also gave me this message:
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
27 “You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
-Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap di vizyon w'ap fè a poko prèt pou l' rive. Mesaj w'ap bay yo, se pa pou yo, y'a gen tan mouri anvan sa ou di a rive.
28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
Se poutèt sa, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè a, Bondye sèl mèt la, voye di yo: Mesaj m'ap bay la p'ap pran tan pou l' rive vre. Pawòl m'ap di a pral rive. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
