Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 and he seide, Sone of man, sette forth a derk speche, and telle thou a parable to the hous of Israel;
-Nonm o! Bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo yon pawoli. Rakonte yo yon parabòl.
3 and thou schalt seie, The Lord God seith these thingis. A greet egle of grete wyngis, with long stretchyng out of membris, ful of fetheris and of dyuersite, cam to the Liban, and took awei the merowe of the cedre.
Di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Vwala, se te yon gwo gwo malfini ak zèl li yo byen laj. Plim li yo te long epi yo te tout kalite koulè. Li vole li ale nan peyi Liban, li kase tèt yon pye sèd.
4 He pullide awei the hiynesse of boowis therof, and bar it ouer in to the lond of Chanaan, and settide it in the citee of marchauntis.
Li pran l', li pote l' ale nan yon peyi kote moun se trafik ase y'ap fè la. Li mete l' nan yon lavil kote se kòmèsan ase ki rete la.
5 And he took of the seed of the lond, and settide it in the lond for seed, that it schulde make stidfast roote on many watris; he settide it in the hiyere part.
Lèfini, li pran yon ti plan nan peyi Izrayèl la, li plante l' nan yon bon venn tè, toupre yon larivyè ki toujou plen dlo, pou l' ka grandi tankou yon pye sikren.
6 And whanne it hadde growe, it encreesside in to a largere vyner, in lowe stature; for the boowis therof bihelden to that egle, and the rootis therof weren vndur that egle; therof it was maad a vyner, and it made fruyt in to siouns, and sente out boowis.
Ti plan an pran, li fè yon bèl pye rezen ki pa twò wo. Branch li yo grandi, yo moute nan direksyon malfini an, men rasin li yo menm desann fon anba tè. Li bay yon bèl pye rezen ak anpil branch plen fèy.
7 And another greet egle was maad, with grete wyngis, and many fetheris; and lo! this vyner as sendynge hise rootis to that egle, stretchide forth his siouns to that egle, that he schulde moiste it of the cornfloris of his seed.
Te vin gen yon lòt gwo malfini ak gwo zèl byen laj ak anpil plim sou li. Lè sa a, pye rezen an pouse rasin nan direksyon malfini sa a. Li vire tout branch li yo nan direksyon l' tou. Li te konprann malfini sa a tapral wouze l' pi byen pase jaden kote l' te plante a.
8 Which is plauntid in a good lond on many watris, that it make boowis, and bere fruyt, that it be in to a greet vyner.
Men, pye rezen an te deja plante nan yon bon venn tè, kote yon kannal ki toujou gen dlo, pou l' te ka fè fèy, pou l' te ka donnen, pou li te ka rive fè yon bèl pye rezen.
9 Seie thou, Ezechiel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Therfor whether he schal haue prosperite? Whether Nabugodonosor schal not pulle awei the rootis of hym, and schal streyne the fruytis of hym? And he schal make drie alle the siouns of buriowning therof, and it schal be drie; and not in greet arm, nether in myche puple, that he schulde drawe it out bi the rootis.
Di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Eske pye rezen an ap grandi vre? Eske premye malfini an p'ap dechouke l', rache tout grap rezen l' yo, kase tout branch li yo pou yo mouri? Li p'ap bezwen anpil fòs ni yon lame moun pou l' dechouke l'.
10 Lo! it is plauntid, therfor whether it schal haue prosperite? Whether not whanne brennynge wynd schal touche it, it schal be maad drye, and schal wexe drie in the cornfloris of his seed?
Wi, yo te plante l'. Men, èske l'ap grandi? Eske li p'ap mouri lè van lès la va soufle sou li? Eske li p'ap mouri lamenm kote li t'ap pouse a?
11 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Seie thou to the hous terrynge to wraththe,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
12 Witen ye not what these thingis signefien? Seie thou, Lo! the king of Babiloyne cometh in to Jerusalem; and he schal take the kyng and the princis therof, and he schal leede hem to hym silf in to Babiloyne.
-Pale ak bann moun tèt di sa yo. Mande yo si yo konprann sans parabòl la. Di yo konsa: Wa lavil Babilòn lan te vini lavil Jerizalèm, li pran wa a ansanm ak tout chèf li yo, li mennen yo ansanm avè l' lavil Babilòn.
13 And he schal take of the seed of the rewme, and schal smyte with it a boond of pees, and he schal take of it an ooth; but also he schal take awei the stronge men of the lond,
Li pran yon moun nan fanmi wa a, li pase kontra avè l', li fè l' sèmante pou l' toujou soumèt devan li. Li pran tout grannèg ki nan peyi a, li fè yo prizonye, li depòte yo.
14 that it be a meke rewme, and be not reisid, but that it kepe the couenaunt of hym, and holde it.
Konsa, li sèten peyi a va rete tou piti anba men l', yo p'ap ka leve tèt devan li, y'a toujou kenbe kontra li te pase ak yo a.
15 Which yede awei fro hym, and sente messangeris in to Egipt, that it schulde yyue to hym horsis and miche puple. Whether he that dide these thingis, schal haue prosperite, ether schal gete helthe? and whether he that brekith couenaunt, schal ascape?
Men, wa peyi Jida a revòlte. Li voye mesaje nan peyi Lejip al chache chwal ak anpil sòlda. Eske l'ap rive fè sa li vle fè a? Eske li ka soti nan sitiyasyon kote l' ye a? Depi li kase kontra a, fòk li peye l'.
16 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for in the place of the king that made hym kyng, whos ooth he made voide, and brak the couenaunt, which he hadde with hym, in the myddis of Babiloyne he schal die.
Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, wa a pral lavil Babilòn, paske li te kase kontra a, li pa t' respekte kondisyon li te pase ak wa lavil Babilòn lan ki te mete l' la pou gouvènen peyi a.
17 And not in greet oost, nether in myche puple Farao schal make batel ayens hym, in the castyng of erthe, and in bildyng of palis, that he sle many persones.
Farawon an te mèt vini ak yon gwo lame ansanm ak anpil sòlda, li p'ap ka ede l' goumen nan lagè a, lè moun Babilòn yo va vin moute ranblè ak fouye gwo kannal pou yo touye moun san gad dèyè.
18 For he dispiside the ooth, that he schulde breke the boond of pees, and lo! he yaf his hond; and whanne he hath do alle these thingis, he schal not ascape.
Wa peyi Izrayèl la pa respekte pawòl li, li kase kontra a. Malgre angajman li te pran yo, li fè tout bagay sa yo. Sa p'ap pase konsa pou li.
19 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Y lyue, for Y schal sette on his heed the ooth which he dispiside, and the boond of pees which he brak.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè Sèl Mèt la di: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, ou pa respekte pawòl ou avè m'. Ou pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase avè ou la. Mwen gen pou m' pini ou pou sa.
20 And Y schal spredde abrood my net on hym, and he schal be takun in my net, and Y schal brynge hym in to Babiloyne; and there Y schal deme hym in the trespassyng, bi which he dispiside me.
M'ap voye privye m' sou ou, w'ap pran nan may yo, m'ap trennen ou lavil Babilòn. Se la m'ap pini ou pou kenbe ou pa te kenbe pawòl ou avè m'.
21 And alle hise flieris a wei with al his cumpenye schulen falle doun bi swerd, forsothe the remenauntis schulen be schaterid in to ech wynd; and ye schulen wite, that Y the Lord spak.
Tout pi bon sòlda li yo pral mouri nan lagè. Sa ki chape yo, yo pral gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
22 The Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal take of the merowe of an hiy cedre, and Y schal sette a tendir thing of the cop of hise braunchis; Y schal streyne, and Y schal plaunte on an hiy hil, and apperynge fer.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap koupe boujon tèt yon pye sèd ki byen wo. M'ap kase yon jenn ti boujon nan branch ki pi wo yo. M'ap plante l' sou tèt yon mòn byen wo,
23 In the hiy hil of Israel Y schal plaunte it; and it schal breke out in to buriownyng, and it schal make fruyt, and it schal be in to a greet cedre, and alle briddis schulen dwelle vndur it; ech volatil schal make nest vndur the schadewe of hise boowis.
sou tèt mòn ki pi wo nan peyi Izrayèl la. L'ap fè branch, l'ap donnen. L'ap vin fè yon bèl bèl pye sèd. Tout kalite zwezo pral rete ladan l'. Y'ap pare solèy nan lonbraj branch li yo.
24 And alle trees of the cuntrei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord; Y made low the hiy tre, and Y enhaunside the low tre, and Y made drie the greene tree, and Y made the drie tree to brynge forth boowis; Y the Lord haue spoke, and Y haue do.
Tout pyebwa nan peyi a va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Mwen koupe gwo pyebwa yo mete atè. Ti pyebwa piti yo, m'ap fè yo grandi. Mwen cheche pyebwa ki vèt yo. Pyebwa ki fin mouri yo, mwen fè yo boujonnen ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
