Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
-Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon mòn Seyi, bay moun Edon yo mesaj mwen ba ou pou yo a.
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
W'a di yo men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Nou menm moun peyi Seyi, m'ap leve dèyè nou tou! Mwen pral lonje men m' sou nou pou m' pini nou. M'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l'.
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
M'ap fè tout lavil nou yo tounen mazi. M'ap fè peyi a rete san pesonn ladan l'. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
Nou pa janm sispann rayi moun Izrayèl yo. Lè malè lagè tonbe sou yo, lè yo t'ap resevwa dènye chatiman pou peche yo a, nou lage yo nan men lènmi yo.
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale: m'ap fè nou benyen nan dlo kò nou, nou p'ap ka chape. Wi, nou te mete san yo deyò, san an gen pou pousib nou.
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
M'ap fè mòn Seyi yo, peyi Edon an, tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete. M'ap touye dènye moun k'ap ale vini nan peyi nou an.
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
Mwen pral kouvri mòn nou yo ak kadav. Ti mòn nou yo, fon nou yo ak ravin nou yo pral kouvri ak kadav moun yo touye nan lagè.
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
M'ap fè peyi nou an tounen dezè pou toutan. p'ap gen yon moun nan lavil nou yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
Nou te di konsa ni nasyon Izrayèl la, ni nasyon Jida a ansanm ak tout peyi yo a, se pou nou yo ye, nou pral pran yo pou nou, malgre se mwen menm ki te Bondye yo a.
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
Enben! Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale: Jan nou te move sou yo! Jan nou te rayi sò yo! Jan nou pa t' vle wè yo! M'ap fè nou peye pou tou sa. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm k'ap pini nou pou tou sa nou te fè yo.
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
Wi, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, mwen te tande jan nou t'ap pase mòn peyi Izrayèl yo nan betiz, lè n'ap plede di: Yo tounen yon dezè, yo ban nou yo pou n' ka devore yo.
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
Mwen te tande ak zòrèy mwen jan nou te derespekte m', jan nou pa t' manke pale m' mal.
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Tout moun sou latè pral kontan lè m'a fè peyi nou an tounen yon dezè
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
menm jan nou te kontan wè peyi moun Izrayèl yo, peyi moun ki rele m' pa m' yo, tounen yon dezè. Tout mòn Seyi yo, wi, tout peyi Edon an, pral tounen dezè. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
