Ezekiel 22
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
2 “Now you, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the city of blood? Make her know all her abominations.
“Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, èske ou va jije? Èske ou jije vil sanglan an? Alò, fè l konnen tout abominasyon li yo.
3 You must say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: This is a city that pours out blood in her midst so that her time may come; a city that makes idols to make herself unclean.
Ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon vil k ap vèsè san nan mitan li, pou tan pa li ka vini e ki fè zidòl kont enterè li, pou l ka vin souye!
4 You have become guilty by the blood that you have poured out, and you have become unclean by the idols that you have made. You have drawn your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you a reproach to the nations and a laughingstock to all the lands.
Ou te vin koupab pa san ke ou te vèse yo e vin souye pa zidòl ke ou te fè yo. Konsa, ou te mennen jou ou a vin pre, e ou fin rive nan ane ou yo. Akoz sa a, Mwen te fè ou vin yon repwòch pou nasyon yo, e yon vye rizib pou tout peyi yo.
5 Both those who are near and those who are far away from you will mock you—you unclean city—with the reputation known everywhere as being full of confusion.
Sila ki pre ak sila ki lwen ou yo va moke ou, ou menm ak move repitasyon, plen twoub.
6 Behold! The rulers of Israel, each one by his own power, have come to you to pour out blood.
“‘“Gade byen, chèf Israël yo, yo chak selon fòs pouvwa yo, te nan ou ak bi pou vèse san an.
7 They have dishonored fathers and mothers within you, and they have performed oppression on the foreigners in your midst. They have mistreated the orphans and the widows within you.
Nan ou yo te trete papa ak manman a lejè. Etranje yo te oprime nan mitan ou. Òfelen ak vèv yo te maltrete nan ou.
8 You have despised my holy things and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Ou te meprize bagay sen Mwen yo, e ou pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
9 Slanderous men have come within you in order to pour out blood, and they eat on the mountains. They perform wickedness in your midst.
Mesye medizan yo te anndan ou nan bi pou yo ta ka vèse san. Nan ou, yo te manje sou lotèl mòn yo. Nan mitan ou, yo te komèt zak ki tèlman lèd.
10 Within you men uncover the nakedness of their father. Within you they have violated unclean women during their menstrual period.
Nan ou, yo te dekouvri nidite a papa yo. Nan ou, yo te imilye fanm ki pa t pwòp akoz règ yo.
11 Men who commit abominations with their neighbors' wives, and men who make their own daughters-in-law shamefully unclean; men who abuse their own sisters—daughters of their own fathers—all these are done within you.
Youn te komèt abominasyon ak madanm a vwazen li, e yon lòt, nan yon zak byen lèd, te souye bèlfi li. Epi yon lòt, nan ou, te imilye sè li, pitit a papa li.
12 These men take bribes within you in order to pour out blood and you have taken interest and gained too much profit, and you have damaged your neighbors through oppression, and you have forgotten me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Nan ou, yo te touche anba tab pou yo ta vèse san. Ou te pran enterè ak pwofi, ou te fè donmaj a vwazen ou yo pou ou kab vin genyen pa opresyon, e ou te bliye Mwen,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
13 See! With my hand I have struck the dishonest gain that you have made, and the bloodshed that is done in the midst of you.
“‘“Alò, gade byen, Mwen frape men M kont pwofi malonèt ou, ke ou te vin genyen nan vèse san moun pami ou.
14 Will your heart stand, will your hands be strong on the days when I myself will deal with you? I, Yahweh, am declaring this, and I will do it.
Èske kè ou kapab sipòte, oswa èske men ou kapab gen fòs nan jou ke Mwen va regle ou a? Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te pale e Mwen va aji.
15 So I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the lands. In this way, I will purge your uncleanness from you.
Mwen va gaye ou pami nasyon yo, Mwen va dispèse ou nan tout peyi yo, e Mwen va fè disparèt sa ki pa pwòp pami ou.
16 So you will become unclean in the eyes of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Ou va pwofane tèt ou devan zye a tout nasyon yo, e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
17 Next the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are the leftovers of bronze and tin, and iron and lead in the midst of you. They will be like the dross of silver in your furnace.
“Fis a lòm, lakay Israël la te vin dechè pou Mwen. Yo tout se bwonz, fè blan, fè ak plon nan fou. Yo se dechè ajan.
19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because all of you have become like dross, therefore, behold! I am about to gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz nou tout te vin dechè, pou sa, gade byen, Mwen pral rasanble nou nan mitan Jérusalem.
20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead and tin and put it inside a furnace to melt it, and they blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and my wrath, and I will put you there and melt you.
Jan yo rasanble ajan, bwonz, fè, plon, ak fè blan nan fou pou soufle dife sou li pou fann li, konsa, Mwen va rasanble nou nan mekontantman Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, e la, Mwen va depoze nou pou fann nou.
21 I will gather you and blow on you the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the midst of it.
Mwen va rasanble nou pou soufle sou nou avèk dife kòlè Mwen, e nou va vin fann nèt nan mitan li.
22 As silver is melted in a furnace, you will be melted in it, and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you!'”
Tankou ajan fann nan founo, se konsa nou va fann nan mitan li. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou nou.’”
23 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
24 “Son of man, say to her, 'You are a land that has not been cleansed. There is no rain on the day of wrath!
“Fis a lòm, di a fi a: ‘Ou se peyi ki pa pwòp la, ki p ap gen lapli nan jou kòlè a.’
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst, like a roaring lion tearing apart a victim. They consume life and take precious wealth; they make many widows within her!
Gen konplo a pwofèt nan mitan li yo, kon yon lyon voras k ap dechire bèt pou li manje. Yo fin devore nanm moun. Yo te pran trezò presye ak tout bagay chè yo. Yo te fè anpil vèv nan mitan li.
26 Her priests do violence to my law, and they profane my holy things. They do not distinguish between holy things and profane things, and do not teach the difference between the unclean and the clean. They hide their eyes from my Sabbaths so that I am profaned in their midst.
Prèt li yo te fè vyolans kont lalwa Mwen an, e te pwofane bagay sen Mwen yo. Yo pa t fè okenn separasyon antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn, ni yo pa t ansegne distenksyon antre sa ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp. Yo kache zye yo devan Saba Mwen yo, e Mwen vin pwofane pami yo.
27 Her princes within her are like wolves tearing apart their victims. They pour out blood and destroy life, to make a profit dishonestly.
Prens ki anndan li yo tankou lou k ap dechire bèt pou yo manje, k ap vèse san e detwi lavi pou fè benefis malonèt.
28 Her prophets have painted them over with whitewash; they see false visions and predict falsehoods to them. They say “The Lord Yahweh says this” when Yahweh has not spoken.
Pwofèt li yo blanchi tout bagay ak lacho pou yo, nan fè fo vizyon ak divinasyon manti pou yo; divinasyon k ap di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’, lè SENYÈ a pa t pale.
29 The people of the land have oppressed through extortion and plundered through robbery, and they mistreat the poor and needy, and oppress the foreigner without justice.
Pèp peyi a te pratike opresyon ak vòl, yo te vòlè malere ak endijan yo, e te oprime sila ki rete pami yo san jistis.
30 So I searched for a man from them who would build up a wall and who would stand before me in its breach for the land so I would not destroy it, but I found no one.
“Mwen te chache pami yo yon nonm ki pou ta bati miray la, e kanpe nan brèch la devan Mwen pou peyi a, pou M pa ta detwi li, men Mwen pa t jwenn pèsòn.
31 So I will pour out my indignation upon them. I will finish them with the fire of my indignation and set their way on their own heads—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
Pou sa, Mwen fin vide chalè a kòlè Mwen sou yo. Mwen te konsonmen yo nèt ak dife a chalè kòlè Mwen. Chemen pa yo, Mwen te fè l desann sou tèt yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
