Ezekiel 36
1 “Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of Yahweh.
Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize a mòn Israël yo e di: “O mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
2 The Lord Yahweh says this: The enemy has said about you, “Aha!” and “The ancient high places have become our possession.”'
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz lènmi an te pale kont nou, “Ah, ah!”, ak “Wo plas yo vin devni posesyon nou,”’
3 Therefore prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your desolation and because of the attacks that came on you from all sides, you have become a possession of the other nations; you have been the subject of slanderous lips and tongues, and of people's stories.
akoz sa, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Se ak bon rezon yo te fè nou dezole, e te kraze nou tout kote a, pou nou te vin yon posesyon a rès nasyon yo, epi nou te vin retire nan pawòl ak ti soufle nan zòrèy a pèp la.”
4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and the high hills, to the streambeds and valleys, to the uninhabited desolations and the forsaken cities that have become plunder and a subject of mocking for the other nations that surround them—
Akoz sa, O, mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl a Senyè BONDYE a. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a mòn yo ak kolin yo, a ravin yo ak vale yo, a vil dezole ki te vin viktim ak yon rizib pou rès nasyon ki antoure l yo,
5 therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I have certainly spoken in the fire of my fury against the other nations, against Edom and all who took my land for themselves as a possession, against all those who had both joy in their heart and disdain in their spirit, as they seized my land that they might claim its pasturelands for themselves.'
akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Anverite nan dife a jalouzi Mwen, Mwen te pale kont tout rès nasyon yo e kont tout Édom, ki te konfiske peyi Mwen an pou yo menm tankou yon posesyon ak yon kè ki plen ak jwa e yon nanm ki plen ak mepriz, pou yo ta ka sezi chan li yo kon piyaj.”’
6 Therefore, prophesy to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the high hills, to the streambeds and to the valleys, 'the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! In my fury and in my anger I am declaring this because you have borne the insults of nations.
Akoz sa, pwofetize konsènan peyi Israël la, e di a mòn e a kolin yo, a ravin yo e a vale yo: ‘konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Gade byen, Mwen te pale nan jalouzi Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, akoz nou te andire ensilt a nasyon yo.”’
7 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I myself will lift up my hand to swear that the nations that surround you will certainly carry their own shame.
Akoz sa, pale Senyè Bondye a: “Mwen te sèmante, ‘Anverite, nasyon ki antoure nou yo va yo menm andire wont pa yo.’
8 But you, mountains of Israel, you will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, since they will soon come back to you.
“‘“Men nou menm, O mòn Israël yo, nou va lonje fè branch nou yo vin parèt pou pote fwi pou pèp Mwen an, Israël; paske avan anpil tan, y ap vini.
9 For behold, I am for you, and I treat you with favor; you will be plowed and sown with seed.
Paske gade byen, Mwen pou nou, Mwen va vire kote nou, e nou va vin kiltive e plante.
10 So I will multiply upon you the number of your people, even the whole house of Israel. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
Mwen va fè moun miltipliye sou nou, tout lakay Israël la, tout moun ladann. Konsa, vil yo va abite e dezè yo va vin rebati.
11 I will multiply man and beast on you mountains so that they will multiply and be fruitful. Then I will cause you to be inhabited as you previously were, and I will make you prosper more than you did in the past, for you will know that I am Yahweh.
Mwen va miltipliye sou nou, ni moun, ni bèt. Yo va vin ogmante e yo va bay fwi, epi Mwen va fè nou peple teren an jan nou te ye avan an, e Mwen va trete nou pi byen ke avan. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
12 I will bring men, my people Israel, to walk on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer cause their children to die.
Wi, Mwen va fè mesye yo—pèp Mwen an, Israël— mache sou ou e posede ou, pou ou kapab vin eritaj pa yo pou yo pa janm retire pitit yo nan men yo ankò.”
13 The Lord Yahweh says this: Because they are saying to you, “You devour men, bereaving your nation of children,”
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz lòt nasyon yo di nou: ‘Ou se yon pèp ki manje moun e ou te fè peye ou pèdi pitit li yo,’
14 therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Akoz sa, ou p ap manje moun ankò e ou p ap responsab pèt pitit peye ou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
15 Nor will I allow you to hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer have to bear the shame of the peoples or cause your nation to fall—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
“Mwen p ap kite nou koute ensilt a nasyon yo ankò, ni nou p ap pote mepriz a nasyon yo ankò, ni ou p ap fè nasyon pa w vin chite ankò”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
16 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel inhabited their land, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds. Their ways were like the unclean menstruation of a woman before me.
“Fis a lòm, lè lakay Israël t ap viv nan pwòp peyi yo, yo te souye li ak chemen pa yo ak zak yo. Chemen yo devan M pa t pwòp tankou yon fanm nan lè règ li.
18 So I poured out my fury against them for the blood that they poured out on the land and for their pollution of it by their idols.
Akoz sa, Mwen te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo pou san ke yo te vèse sou peyi a, akoz yo te souye li ak zidòl yo.
19 I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
Anplis, Mwen te gaye yo pami nasyon yo, e yo te vin dispèse toupatou nan peyi yo. Selon chemen yo ak zak yo, Mwen te jije yo.
20 Then they went to the nations, and wherever they went, they profaned my holy name when people said of them, 'Are these really the people of Yahweh? For they have been thrown out of his land.'
Lè yo te rive nan nasyon kote yo te ale yo, yo te pwofane non Mwen. Paske yo te di a yo menm: ‘Sila yo se pèp SENYÈ a; malgre, yo te vin sòti kite peyi Li a.’
21 But I had compassion for my holy name that the house of Israel had defiled among the nations, when they went there.
Men Mwen te vle konsève onè a non sen Mwen an, ke lakay Israël te pwofane pami nasyon kote yo te ale yo.
22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I am not doing this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations everywhere you have gone.
“Akoz sa, pale ak lakay Israël: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Se pa pou koz nou, O lakay Israël, ke Mwen prèt pou aji a, men pou non sen Mwen an, ke ou te pwofane pami nasyon kote nou te ale yo.
23 For I will make my great name holy, which you have profaned among the nations—in the midst of the nations, you profaned it. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—when you see that I am holy.
Mwen va fè valè sentete a gwo non Mwen an ki te pwofane pami nasyon yo, ke nou te pwofane nan mitan yo. Nan lè sa a nasyon yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “lè M fè prèv sentete Mwen pami nou devan zye yo.
24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from every land, and I will bring you to your land.
“‘“Paske Mwen va retire nou soti nan nasyon yo, rasanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo pou mennen nou antre nan pwòp peyi pa nou an.
25 Then I will sprinkle pure water on you so you will be purified from all of your impurities, and I will purify you from all of your idols.
Epi Mwen va flite yon dlo pwòp sou nou e nou va vin pwòp. Mwen va netwaye nou de tout sa ki malpwòp nan nou, e de tout zidòl nou yo.
26 I will give you a new heart and a new spirit in your innermost parts, and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh. For I will give you a heart of flesh.
Anplis, Mwen va bay nou yon kè tounèf e Mwen va mete yon lespri tounèf anndan nou. Epi Mwen va retire kè wòch la soti nan chè nou pou bay nou yon kè ki fèt ak chè.
27 I will set my Spirit in you and enable you to walk in my statutes and keep my decrees, so you will do them.
Mwen va mete Lespri M anndan nou, fè nou mache nan règleman Mwen yo e nou va fè atansyon pou swiv tout lwa Mwen yo.
28 Then you will inhabit the land that I gave to your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Nou va rete nan peyi ke M te bay a papa zansèt nou yo. Konsa, nou va pèp Mwen yo e Mwen va Bondye pa nou.
29 For I will save you from all of your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and multiply it. I will no longer put famine upon you.
Anplis, Mwen va sove nou de tout sa ki pa pwòp nan nou. Epi Mwen va rele pou sereyal miltipliye li e mwen p ap mennen gwo grangou rive sou nou.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will no longer bear the shame of famine among the nations.
Mwen va miltipliye fwi sou pyebwa ak pwodwi chan an, pou nou pa resevwa mepriz a gwo grangou pami nasyon yo ankò.”
31 Then you will think of your wicked ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will show loathing on your faces because of your own sins and your disgusting deeds.
“‘“Nan lè sa a, nou va sonje chemen mechan nou yo, zak nou ki pa t bon yo, e nou va rayi tèt nou nan pwòp zye nou, akoz inikite ak abominasyon nou yo.
32 I am not doing this for your sake—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—let this be known to you. So be ashamed and disgraced because of your ways, house of Israel.
Se pa pou koz nou ke m ap fè sa,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Ke nou byen konprann sa a. Rete wont e twouble akoz chemen nou yo, O lakay Israël!”
33 The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I purify you from all your iniquity, I will cause you to inhabit the cities and to rebuild the ruined places.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan jou ke M netwaye nou soti nan tout inikite nou yo, Mwen va fè vil la vin peple ak moun e kote dezole yo vin rebati.
34 For you will plow the ruined land until it is no longer a ruin before the eyes of all who pass by.
Tèren dezole a va kiltive olye de vin yon dezolasyon devan zye a tout moun ki pase yo.
35 Then they will say, “This land was desolate, but it has become like the garden of Eden; the desolate cities and the uninhabited ruins that were torn down are now fortified and inhabited.”
Yo va di: ‘Tè dezole sa a te vin tankou jaden Éden. Epi dezè a, vil ranblè yo vin ranfòse e vin gen moun.’
36 Then the other nations around you will know that I am Yahweh, that I built up the ruins and replanted the abandoned places. I am Yahweh. I have declared it and I will do it.
Nan lè sa a, nasyon ki rete antoure nou yo va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te rebati pil mazi yo, e te plante sa ki te vin dezè a. Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale e Mwen va fè sa.”
37 The Lord Yahweh says this: Again I will be asked by the house of Israel to do this for them, to increase them like a flock of people.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konsa anplis, men sa lakay Israël va mande M fè pou yo: Mwen va fè pèp pa yo a vin anpil tankou bann mouton.
38 Like the flock is set apart for sacrifices, like the flock in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Tankou bann mouton ki pou fè sakrifis, tankou bann mouton Jérusalem nan lè fèt li yo, konsa vil dezole yo va vin plen ak yon bann moun. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
