Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 and he seide, Sone of man, sette forth a derk speche, and telle thou a parable to the hous of Israel;
“Fis a lòm, pwopoze yon devinèt e pale yon parabòl a lakay Israël.
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: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon gwo èg ak gwo zèl, gwo zèl louvri ak anpil bèl plim de anpil koulè te vini Liban, e te rache pran tèt pye sèd la.
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 te rache tout ti branch nan pi wo tèt li, e te pote li nan peyi komèsan yo. Li te plase li nan yon vil machann yo.
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.
“‘“Anplis, li te pran semans peyi a pou te plante li nan yon tè fètil. Li te mete li akote gwo dlo. Li te plase li 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.
Konsa, li te boujonnen e te vin yon lyann ba ki t ap kouvri toupatou ak branch li yo ki te tounen vè li menm, men rasin li yo te rete anba l. Konsa, li te vin yon plant, li te bay boujon e li te pwodwi anpil ti branch.
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.
“‘“Men te gen yon lòt gwo èg ak gwo zèl ak anpil plim. Epi gade byen, lyann sa a te koube rasin li yo vè li menm e te voye branch yo deyò vè li menm soti nan tè kote li te plante a, pou l te ka wouze li.
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.
Li te plante nan bon tè, akote anpil dlo, pou l te ka fè anpil branch ak bay fwi, e vin yon pye rezen byen bèl.”
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.
“Pale, ‘Konsa di Senyè BONDYE a: “Èske li va grandi byen? Èske li pa p rache rasin li yo, e koupe fwi li, pou li fennen nèt—pou tout fèy k ap pete yo ta fennen? Epi kit se pa gwo fòs, kit se pa anpil moun, li p ap ka leve sòti nan rasin li ankò.
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?
Gade byen, akoz li te plante, èske l ap grandi byen? Èske li p ap fennen nèt toutotan ke van lès ap frape li yo? Li va fennen sou tè a kote li te plante a?”’”
11 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Seie thou to the hous terrynge to wraththe,
Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
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.
“Di koulye a a kay rebèl la, ‘Èske ou pa konnen sa bagay sa yo vle di?’ Di yo: ‘Gade byen, wa Babylone nan te rive Jérusalem, te pran wa ak prens li yo e te mennen yo kote li Babylone.
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 te pran youn nan fanmi wa a pou te fè yon akò avè l e te fè l sèmante. Anplis, li te retire pwisan yo nan peyi a,
14 that it be a meke rewme, and be not reisid, but that it kepe the couenaunt of hym, and holde it.
pou wayòm nan ta vin ba, pou l pa egzalte tèt li, men nan swiv akò L pou li ka kanpe ankò.
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 li te fè rebèl kont li lè l te voye reprezantan li yo kote Égypte pou yo ta ka ba li cheval ak anpil sòlda. Èske li va reyisi? Èske sila ki fè kalite bagay sa yo va chape? Èske li, anverite, kapab kraze akò a e chape?
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.
“‘Jan Mwen viv la’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, ‘Anverite, nan peyi wa ki te fè l wa, sèman a sila li te meprize a, e akò a sila li te kraze a; alò, avèk li menm, nan mitan Babylone, li va mouri.
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 ak lame pwisan li an, ak gran fòs pèp li a, p ap ede li nan lagè a, lè yo fè monte ran syèj e bati miray syèj pou koupe lavi anpil moun.
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.
‘Konsa, li te meprize sèman an lè l te kraze akò a e gade byen, li te fè sèman li an, men gade tout bagay li te fè. Li p ap chape.’”
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.
“Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Jan Mwen viv la, anverite, sèman Mwen an ke li te meprize a, ak akò Mwen an ke li te kraze a, Mwen va koze malè sou tèt li.
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.
Filè Mwen an va kouvri li nèt e li va kenbe nan pèlen an. Epi Mwen va mennen li Babylone e antre nan jijman avèk li selon zak enfidèl ke li te komèt kont Mwen an.
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 mesye byen chwazi pami sòlda li yo va tonbe pa nepe, e sila ki chape yo va gaye nan tout van. Konsa nou va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a te 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.
“Senyè BONDYE a di: ‘Anplis, Mwen va pran yon ti branch piti soti anlè pye sèd la e Mwen va plante li. Mwen va rache nan pi wo pwent a jenn ti boujon li yo, youn ki piti e ki mou e Mwen va plante li sou yon mòn ki 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 mòn byen wo Israël la, Mwen va plante li, pou li kapab pwodwi gwo branch, bay fwi e devni yon gwo pye sèd byen bèl. Epi zwazo de tout kalite yo va fè nich yo anba li. Yo va pran repo 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 chan yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. Mwen desann pyebwa ki byen wo a, egzalte pyebwa ki ba a, seche pyebwa ki vèt la e fè pyebwa ki sèch la fleri. “‘Mwen, SENYÈ a, te pale e Mwen te akonpli sa.’”
