< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 'Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?
-Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a sou tout chèf ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la. Bay yo mesaj la, di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Madichon pou gadò pèp Izrayèl yo! Yo te mete yo la pou yo te swen pèp la, men se pwòp tèt yo ase yo konnen.
3 The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.
Nou bwè lèt mouton yo, nou pran lenn sou do yo pou fè rad mete sou nou, nou touye sa ki pi gra yo pou nou manje. Men, nou pa janm swen mouton yo.
4 The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.
Nou pa bay sa ki mèg yo manje pou yo pran fòs. Nou pa swen sa ki malad yo. Nou pa mete renmèd sou sa ki blese yo. Nou pa fè sa ki te soti nan bann yo tounen nan plas yo. Nou pa al chache sa ki te pèdi yo. Lekontrè, nou sèvi ak pozisyon chèf nou an pou n' kraze yo, pou n' maltrete yo.
5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.
Paske mouton yo te san gadò, yo gaye nan raje yo, bèt nan bwa touye yo.
6 Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
Se konsa mouton yo gaye sou gwo mòn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Mouton yo gaye toupatou sou latè. Pesonn pa okipe yo, pesonn pa chache kote yo ye.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:
Se poutèt sa, nou menm gadò ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
8 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.
Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale. Bèt nan bwa atake mouton m' yo, yo devore yo, paske yo te san gadò. Gadò m' yo pa fè anyen pou mouton m' yo. Se tèt pa yo ase yo konnen. Yo pa swen mouton m' yo.
9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:
Konsa, nou menm gadò pèp la, koute pawòl mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap di nou.
10 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.
Wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di nou: M'ap leve dèyè nou! M'ap wete mouton yo nan men nou. Mwen p'ap kite nou reskonsab mouton m' yo ankò. Konsa nou p'ap rete chita ap angrese tèt nou ase sou do mouton m' yo. Wi, m'ap wete mouton m' yo anba dan nou. Nou p'ap ka pwofite sou yo ankò.
11 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I — even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Se mwen menm menm ki pral chache mouton m' yo pou m' swen yo.
12 As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Menm jan yon gadò mache swen mouton l' yo ki te gaye, konsa m'ap mache sanble tout mouton m' yo, m'ap pran yo tout kote yo te gaye yo depi jou fènwa a, jou gwo malè a, m'ap fè yo tounen.
13 And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
M'ap fè yo soti nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo, m'ap sanble yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan pwòp peyi pa yo. M'ap mennen yo vin manje sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, nan fon yo, tout kote moun ka rete nan peyi a.
14 With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel.
M'ap kite yo manje nan bon jaden zèb. Sou tout mòn byen wo nan peyi Izrayèl la, yo pral jwenn kote pou yo rete san danje. Se la yo pral poze kò yo, yo pral jwenn kont zèb vèt yo sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo.
15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Se mwen menm ki pral okipe mouton m' yo. Se mwen menm k'ap jwenn yon kote pou yo poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
16 The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.
Sa ki pèdi yo, m'ap chache yo. Sa ki te soti nan bann yo, m'ap fè yo tounen nan plas yo. Sa ki blese yo, m'ap mete renmèd pou yo. Sa ki malad yo, m'ap geri yo. Men, sa ki gra yo, sa ki byen gwo yo, m'ap touye yo. M'ap swen mouton m' yo jan m' dwe fè l' la.
17 And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.
Pou nou menm, mouton m' yo, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou. Mwen pral jije nou chak. M'ap mete bon yo yon bò, move yo yon bò, belye mouton yo yon bò, bouk kabrit yo yon bò.
18 Is it a little thing for you — the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,
Genyen nan mitan nou, se yo ase ki pou manje pi bon zèb yo. Men, sa pa kont yo toujou. Se pou yo pilonnen anba pye yo sa ki pa manje yo. Se yo ase ki pou bwè bèl dlo fre. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, fòk yo sal rès dlo a ak pye yo.
19 And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?
Konsa, rès mouton m' yo blije manje zèb lòt yo te pilonnen anba pye yo. Yo blije bwè rès dlo lòt yo te sal ak pye yo.
20 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I — even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
Se konsa, koulye a, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou: Mwen pral jije mouton gra yo ak mouton mèg yo.
21 Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,
Nou pouse mouton ki san fòs yo sou kote, nou ba yo kou ak dèyè nou, ak pòtray nou, ak kòn nou jouk nou mete yo deyò, nou fè yo kite bann lan.
22 And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
Men, m'ap vin sove mouton m' yo, m' p'ap kite nou fè piyay sou do yo ankò. Se mwen menm k'ap jij nan mitan nou.
23 And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them — my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,
M'ap ba yo yon wa k'ap tankou David, sèvitè m' lan. Se li menm ki pral okipe yo, k'ap mennen yo manje. Se li menm k'ap gadò yo.
24 And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap Bondye yo. Se yon wa, tankou David sèvitè m' lan, ki va sèl chèf nan mitan yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
25 And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.
M'ap pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap garanti yo kè poze, m'ap fè tout bèt nan bwa disparèt nan peyi a. Konsa mouton m' yo va rete san pwoblèm nan savann yo, y'a dòmi nan rakbwa yo.
26 And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.
M'ap fè yo rete tout bò ti mòn ki apa pou mwen an. M'ap beni yo, m'ap ba yo bèl lapli lè pou lapli tonbe.
27 And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
Pyebwa nan jaden yo va donnen, jaden yo va bay bèl rekòt, tout moun pral viv ak kè poze nan peyi yo a. Lè m'a wete chenn lan nan kou yo, lè m'a delivre yo anba men moun ki te fè yo tounen esklav, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
28 And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
Moun lòt nasyon p'ap piye yo ankò. Bèt nan bwa p'ap devore yo ankò nan peyi a. Yo pral rete lakay yo san danje. Pesonn p'ap vin chache yo kont.
29 And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.
M'ap ba yo bon venn tè nan jaden yo. Moun p'ap mouri grangou nan peyi a ankò. Lòt nasyon yo p'ap pase yo nan betiz ankò.
30 And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with them, And they — the house of Israel — My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki kanpe la avèk yo. Yo menm, moun fanmi Izrayèl yo, se pèp pa m' lan menm yo ye. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
31 And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] — I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
Nou menm, moun, se mouton mwen nou ye, bann mouton m'ap okipe yo. Mwen menm, se Bondye nou mwen ye. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
