Ezekiel 9
1 Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”
Apre sa, mwen tande Bondye pale byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Li di konsa: -Pwoche non, nou tout ki pral pini lavil la. Pwoche ak zam nou nan men nou!
2 Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.
Lamenm, sis gason parèt nan pòtay ki bay sou nò nan lakou tanp lan. Yo chak te gen yon zam nan men yo. Nan mitan yo te gen yon nonm ak yon rad twal fin tou blan sou li. Li te gen yon poban lank mare nan ren l'. Yo antre, yo kanpe bò lotèl an kwiv la.
3 [Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
Lè sa a, gwo bèl limyè ki make prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la soti anwo tèt bèt vivan yo kote l' te ye a, li deplase, li al rete nan papòt pou antre nan tanp lan. Seyè a rele nonm ak rad twal fin blan an ki te gen poban lank mare nan ren l' lan.
4 and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”
Li di l' konsa: -Ale nan tout lavil Jerizalèm. Mete yon mak sou fwon tout moun w'a wè k'ap plenn, ki nan gwo lapenn pou tout vye bagay derespektan k'ap fèt nan lavil la.
5 While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
Mwen tande li di lòt mesye yo: -Mache dèyè l' nan tout lavil la. Epi touye! Pa gen pitye pou pesonn. Pa kite pesonn chape!
6 Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.
Touye ni granmoun, ni jenn gason, ni jenn fi, ni fanm, ni timoun. Men, pa manyen moun ki gen mak sou fwon yo. Konmanse depi nan tanp mwen an. Yo konmanse ak chèf fanmi ki te kanpe nan Tanp lan.
7 Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
Bondye di yo: -Derespekte Tanp lan! Plen lakou a kadav. Ale non! Se konsa yo konmanse touye moun nan lavil la.
8 While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”
Pandan yo t'ap touye moun yo, mwen te rete pou kont mwen. Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen atè, mwen rele byen fò: -Wouy! Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la, èske ou pral touye tout rès pèp Izrayèl la, paske nan kòlè ou ou soti pou pini lavil Jerizalèm?
9 He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’
Li reponn mwen: -Moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo fè anpil wi! Se san k'ap koule toupatou nan peyi a. Lavil Jerizalèm plen moun k'ap fè lenjistis. Y'ap plede di mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen vire do bay peyi a, mwen pa wè yo.
10 [So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”
Enben, mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo, mwen p'ap fè pa yo. M'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè.
11 Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
Apre sa, nonm ki te gen rad twal fin tou blan sou li a ak poban lank mare nan ren l' lan tounen. Li fè rapò l' bay Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Mwen fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè a.
