< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini kote Mwen ankò e te di:
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
“Fis a lòm, te gen de fanm, fi a yon sèl manman.
3 And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Yo te jwe pwostitiye an Égypte. Yo te jwe pwostitiye a nan jenès yo. Tete yo te peze e flè vyèj yo te touche.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names — Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Non yo se te Ohola ak sè li, Oholiba. Konsa, yo te vin pou Mwen, epi yo te vin fè fis ak fi. Epi pou zafè non yo a, Samarie se Ohola e Jérusalem se Oholiba.
5 And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,
“Ohola te jwe pwostitiye a pandan li te pou Mwen an. Li te kouri ak anvi dèyè moun ki renmen li yo, dèyè Asiryen yo, vwazen li yo.
6 Clothed with blue — governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,
Sila yo te abiye an mov, chèf ak ofisye yo. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, chevalye k ap galope cheval.
7 And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them — even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.
Li te pataje pwostitiye li ak yo; tout nan yo te dè mesye byen chwazi an Assyrie. Epi avèk yo tout, li te kouri ak anvi lachè a, ak tout zidòl yo, li te souye tèt li.
8 And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
Li pa t abandone zak pwostitisyon li yo ki te la depi nan tan Égypte la; paske nan jenès li, gason te kouche avèk li. Yo te manyen tete vyèj li e te vide dezi lachè sou li.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted.
“Akoz sa, Mwen te bay li nan men a moun ki renmen li yo, nan men Asiryen yo. Sou sila yo, li te pote anvi lachè yo.
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
Yo te dekouvri nidite li. Yo te pran fis ak fi li yo, men yo te touye li menm ak nepe. Konsa, li te vin yon pawòl avètisman pami fanm yo, e yo te egzekite jijman yo sou li.
11 And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
“Alò sè li, Oholiba, te wè sa, men li menm te vin pi konwonpi nan anvi pa li a ke sè li a, e pwostitiye li a te pi mal pase pwostitiye sè li.
12 On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones — clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.
Li te gen anvi pou Asiryen yo, chèf yo, ak ofisye yo, sila ki pre yo, sila ki abiye kon prens yo, chevalye k ap galope cheval yo, yo tout se bèl gason byen pòtan.
13 And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
Mwen te wè ke li te souye tèt li. Yo toulède te pran menm wout la.
14 And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,
“Konsa, li te fè pwostitiye li a vin pi gwo. Epi li te wè pòtre gason yo sou miray la, imaj a Kaldeyen yo fèt an penti wouj,
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers — all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
abiye ak sentiwon nan ren yo, avèk mòso twal long nan tèt yo, yo tout te sanble ofisye, tankou Babilonyen ki Chaldée yo, peyi nesans yo.
16 And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.
Lè li te wè yo, li te fè gwo anvi lachè dèyè yo, e te voye mesaje kote yo Chaldée.
17 And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Babilonyen yo te vin kote li sou kabann lanmou an e te souye li ak pwostitiye yo. Epi lè li te fin defile ak yo, li te bouke jis li about ak yo.
18 And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.
Konsa, li te dekouvri zak pwostitisyon li an e li te dekouvri nidite li, epi Mwen te vin about avèk li, menm jan Mwen te about ak sè li a.
19 And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.
Malgre sa, li te miltipliye pwostitisyon li yo, lè l te sonje jou jenès li yo, lè l te konn jwe pwostitiye nan peyi Égypte la.
20 And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses — their issue.
Li te fè lanvi nan kouri dèyè tout moun ki gen chè tankou chè bourik ak ekoulman kon ekoulman cheval yo.
21 Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
Konsa, ou te fè lanvi pou bagay lèd jenès ou yo lè Ejipsyen yo te konn manyen lestonmak ou akoz tete jenès ou yo.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.
“Akoz sa, Oholiba, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè moun ki renmen ou yo soulve kont ou, soti nan sila yo ki pa byen avè w, e Mwen va mennen yo kont ou sou tout kote:
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them — rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.
Babilonyen yo ak tout Kaldeyen yo, Pekod, Schoa, Koa, ak tout Asiryen ki avèk yo; yo tout, jenn gason byen pòtan yo, chèf yo ak tout ofisye yo, ofisye ak mesye ki gen bon renome yo, tout sila k ap galope cheval yo.
24 And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.
Yo va vini kont ou ak zam, cha, ak charyo e avèk yon gwo twoup moun yo. Yo va mete yo menm kont ou avèk zam, cha e avèk gwo twoup moun. Yo va mete yo kont ou tout kote ak nepe, boukliye ak kas. Konsa, Mwen va angaje jijman a yo menm e yo va jije ou selon koutim yo.
25 And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.
Mwen va pozisyone jalouzi Mwen kont ou, pou yo ka aji avèk ou nan kòlè a gwo chalè Mwen an. Yo va retire nen ou ak zòrèy ou. Sila ki chape yo va tonbe pa nepe. Yo va pran fis ou yo ak fi ou yo, e sila ki chape yo va manje nan dife.
26 And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.
Anplis, yo va retire tout rad sou ou e yo va pran bèl bijou ou yo.
27 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.
Konsa, Mwen va fè zak lèd ak zak pwostitisyon ke ou mennen sòti an Égypte yo vin sispann nan ou, pou ou pa leve zye ou bay yo, ni sonje Égypte ankò.’
28 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.
“Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va livre ou nan men a sila ke ou rayi yo, nan men a yo menm de sila ou te vin ekate yo.
29 And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
Yo va aji avèk ou ak rayisman, pran tout sa ou posede e kite ou toutouni san anyen menm. Konsa, nidite a zak pwostitisyon ou yo va vin ekspoze, ni zak lèd ou yo, ni zak pwostitisyon ou yo.
30 To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,
Bagay sa yo ap fèt a ou menm akoz ou te jwe pwostitiye ak nasyon yo, akoz ou te souye tèt ou ak zidòl yo.
31 In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.
Ou te mache nan chemen a sè ou a. Pou sa, Mwen va mete tas pa li a nan men ou.’
32 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn, ) Abundant to contain.
“Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Ou va bwè tas a sè ou a ki fon e ki laj. Yo va ri sou ou e fè rizib sou ou. Li byen gwo.
33 With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria.
Ou va vin plen ak soulay ak tristès, tas a gwo laperèz ak dezolasyon, tas a sè ou a, Samarie.
34 And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,
Ou va bwè li e vide li nèt. Epi ou va manje sou ti mòso chire yo e dechire tete ou; paske Mwen te pale sa a”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
35 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
“Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz ou te bliye Mwen e te jete Mwen dèyè do ou, se pou ou sipòte, koulye a, pinisyon zak lèd ak zak pwostitisyon ou yo.’”
36 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations.
Anplis, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou va jije Ohola ak Oholiba? Alò, deklare a yo menm abominasyon yo.
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
Paske yo te komèt adiltè e yo gen san nan men yo. Konsa, yo te komèt adiltè ak zidòl yo e te menm fè fis yo, ke yo te fè pou Mwen yo, pase nan dife pou sèvi kon manje zidòl.
38 Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.
Ankò, yo te fè M sa: yo te souye sanktyè Mwen an nan menm jou a, e te pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Paske lè yo te fin masakre tout fis yo pou zidòl yo, yo te antre nan sanktyè Mwen an nan menm jou a pou pwofane li; epi konsa, yo te fè anndan lakay Mwen an.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.
“Anplis, sè ou yo te menm voye pou mesye ki te sòti lwen yo, a sila yon mesaje te voye. Epi gade byen, yo te vini. Pou sa a, ou te benyen kò w, pentire zye ou, e dekore tèt ou ak bijou yo.
41 And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.
Ou te chita sou yon sofa byen bèl ak yon tab byen ranje devan l sou sila ou te mete lansan Mwen ak lwil Mwen an.
42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.
“Bri a yon fèt ki plen moun ki alèz te avèk li. Lezòm klas ba, ak moun banal yo te mennen soti nan dezè a. Yo te mete braslè nan men a fanm sa yo ak bèl kouwòn nan tèt yo.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms — she also!
Epi Mwen te di a li menm ki te epwize nèt akoz adiltè li yo: ‘Èske yo va jwe pwostitiye ak li, koulye a, pandan li konsa a?
44 And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah — the wicked women.
Men yo te antre ladann konsi yo t ap antre nan yon pwostitiye. Konsa, yo te antre nan Ohola ak Oholiba, fanm zak lèd yo.
45 As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
Men yo menm, moun ladwati yo, va jije yo ak jijman a yon fanm adiltè, e avèk jijman a yon fanm ki te vèse san, akoz se fanm adiltè ke yo ye, epi yo gen san sou men yo.
46 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
“Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Mennen yon twoup kont yo e livre yo a gwo laperèz ak piyaj.
47 And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.
Twoup sa a va lapide yo ak wòch e rache yo ak nepe yo. Yo va touye fis ak fi yo e brile lakay yo ak dife.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.
“‘Konsa, Mwen va fè zak lèd yo kite peyi a, pou tout fanm yo kapab vin avèti e pa komèt zak lèd jan nou konn fè a.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah!
Zak lèd nou yo va vin rekonpanse sou nou e nou va pote pinisyon pou adorasyon zidòl nou yo. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.’”
