Ezekiel 24
1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, nan nevyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa a, nan dizyèm jou nan mwa a, e te di:
2 Son of man, write for thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
“Fis a lòm, ekri non a jou a, jou sa a menm. Wa Babylone nan te vin mete syèj sou Jérusalem nan menm jou sa a.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Pale yon parabòl a kay rebèl la pou di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mete chodyè a sou difè a. Mete l, e anplis, vide dlo ladann.
4 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Mete mòso yo ladann, tout bon mòso yo: kwis ak zepòl la. Plen li ak zo byen chwazi yo.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them boil its bones in it.
Pran mouton ki pi byen chwazi nan bann nan, e anplis, mete pil bwa anba chodyè a. Fè l bouyi fò. Anplis, fè bouyi zo ki ladann yo nèt.”
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
“‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a peyi sanglan sila a, a chodyè nan sila gen lawouy ladann l! Lawouy la ki pa sòti ladann l! Retire ladann mòso pa mòso, san menm tire oso.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
“‘“Paske san fanm nan vèse se nan mitan l. Li te mete l sou wòch vid la. Li pa t vide li atè a, pou kouvri li ak pousyè.
8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
Pou l kapab koze gwo chalè ak kòlè k ap pran vanjans, Mwen te mete san li sou wòch vid la, pou li kab pa kouvri.”
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
“‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a vil sanglan sila a! Anplis, Mwen menm, Mwen va fè pil la gwo.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Ogmante bwa a. Byen ranje dife a. Bouyi chè vyann nan byen. Mele epis ladann e kite zo yo vin brile.
11 Then set it empty upon its coals, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be melted in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
Epi mete li vid sou chabon limen li an pou li ka byen cho, pou bwonz li an kapab gen koulè wouj pou tout salte li yo kapab vin fann ladann, jiskaske lawouy li a fin manje nèt.
12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
Fi a te fè M fatige ak travay di ke M fè; malgre sa, gwo lawouy li a pa t kite li. Kite lawouy li a rete nan dife a!
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
“‘“Nan salte ou a se tout zak ki lèd yo. Akoz mwen ta netwaye ou, malgre sa, ou pa pwòp; ou p ap vin pwòp de salte ou yo jiskaske Mwen fè chalè kòlè Mwen an sou ou poze.
14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
“‘“Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale. Sa ap vini e Mwen va aji. Mwen p ap ralanti e Mwen p ap gen pitye ni mwen p ap gen regrè. Selon zak ou yo, Mwen va jije ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
15 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Fis a lòm, gade byen, Mwen prèt pou retire sou ou dezi zye ou yo ak yon sèl kou; men ou p ap plenyen, ni ou p ap kriye, ni dlo p ap vini nan zye ou.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind thy turban upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Plenn nan gòj san fè bri. Pa fè dèy pou mò. Mare moso twal long ou nan tèt ou, mete soulye nan pye ou. Pa kouvri bouch ou e pa manje pen fè dèy a.”
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Konsa, mwen te pale ak pèp la nan maten an, e nan aswè, madanm mwen te mouri. Konsa, nan maten an, mwen te fè jan yo te kòmande mwen an.
19 And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Pèp la te mande m: “Èske ou p ap di nou kisa sa vle di ke ou ap aji konsa?”
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Epi mwen te di yo: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
‘Pale ak lakay Israël: “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou pwofane sanktyè Mwen an, ògèy a pouvwa nou an, dezi a zye nou, e plezi a nanm nou. Epi fis ak fi nou yo, ke nou te kite dèyè yo; yo va tonbe pa nepe.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Nou va fè jan mwen te fè a. Nou p ap kouvri bouch nou, ni nou p ap manje pen fè dèy a.
23 And your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
Tiban nou va sou tèt nou e soulye nou nan pye nou. Nou p ap fè dèy, ni nou p ap kriye; men nou va plenyen nan inikite nou yo e nou va plenyen youn bay lòt.
24 Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Konsa, Ézéchiel va vin yon sign pou nou, selon tout sa ke li menm te fè, nou va fè yo. Lè sa rive, alò nou va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.’”’”
25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
“Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, èske sa p ap nan jou a, lè M ap retire fòs yo nan men yo, lajwa fyète yo, dezi a zye yo e plezi a kè yo, fis ak fi pa yo,
26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thy ears?
pou nan jou sila a, sila ki chape a va vin kote ou ak enfòmasyon pou zòrèy ou?
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him who hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Nan jou sa a, bouch ou va vin louvri a sila ki te chape a, ou va pale, e ou p ap bèbè ankò. Konsa, ou va vin yon sign pou yo, e yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
