Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Mwen. Li te di:
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
“Fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont Mòn Séir e pwofetize kont li.
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.
Di li: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, Mòn Séir, Mwen va lonje men M kont ou pou fè ou vin yon dezolasyon ak yon dezè.
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].
Mwen va fè devaste vil ou yo e ou va vin Yon dezolasyon. Konsa, ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ 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].
“‘“Paske ou te gen rayisman san rete, e ou te livre fis Israël yo anba pouvwa nepe a nan lè malè yo, nan lè gwo pinisyon lafen an.
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;
Akoz sa, jan Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va livre ou a san vèse, san vèse va swiv ou. Akoz ou pa t rayi san vèse, pou sa, san vèse va swiv ou.
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
Mwen va fè Mòn Séir vin yon dezè ak yon kote dezole. Mwen va dekoupe retire nèt sou li sila k ap pase antre retou ladann li.
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 va plen mòn li yo ak kadav li yo. Sou kolin ou yo, nan vale ou yo ak nan tout ravin ou yo, sila ki mouri pa nepe yo va tonbe.
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].
Mwen va fè ou vin yon dezolasyon jis pou tout tan e vil ou yo p ap gen moun menm. Konsa ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ 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].
“‘“Akoz ou te di: ‘De Nasyon sila yo ak de peyi sa yo va pou mwen e nou va posede yo,’ sepandan, SENYÈ a te la,
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.
Jan Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè Bondye a: “Mwen va regle ou selon kòlè ou ak selon jalouzi ke ou te montre, akoz rayisman ou kont yo. Konsa, Mwen va fè Mwen menm vin rekonèt pami yo lè M jije ou.
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].
Nan lè sa a, ou va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te tande tout vye mo ou yo; sa ke ou te pale kont mòn Israël yo lè ou te di: ‘Yo fin dezole nèt. Yo fin livre nan men nou pou manje nèt.’
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
Konsa, ou te pale ak awogans kont Mwen e ou te miltipliye pawòl ou yo kont Mwen. Mwen te tande sa.”
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.
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Pandan tout tè a ap rejwi, Mwen va fè ou vin yon dezolasyon.
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].’”
Jan ou te rejwi sou eritaj lakay Israël akoz li te dezole a, se konsa Mwen va fè ou menm. Ou va vin yon dezolasyon, O Mòn Séir! Ak tout Édom, yo tout ladann. Nan lè sa a, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
