Ezekyèl 11
1 Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè, li mennen m' bò gwo pòtay tanp lan ki bay sou solèy leve. Toupre pòtay la, mwen wè vennsenk gason. Pami yo te gen de chèf peyi a, Jazanya, pitit gason Azou a, ak Pelatya, pitit gason Benaja a.
Moreover the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the front gate of the house of the Lord, that looks eastward: and behold at the entrance of the gate were about five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jechonias the son of Ezer, and Phaltias the son of Banaeas, the leaders of the people.
2 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Mesye sa yo gen move lide ap travay dèyè tèt yo. Y'ap bay move konsèy nan lavil la.
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, these are the men that devise vanities, and take evil counsel in this city:
3 Y'ap plede di: Talè konsa nou p'ap ka bati kay ankò! Lavil la tankou yon chodyè sou dife, nou menm, nou tankou vyann ladan l'. Nou pa bezwen fè anyen kote nou ye a.
who say, Have not the houses been newly built? This is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
4 Se poutèt sa, nonm o! Men mesaj m'ap ba ou pou ou di sou yo.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
5 Lespri Seyè a desann sou mwen ankò. Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' bay pèp la mesaj sa a: -Nou menm fanmi Izrayèl la, mwen konnen sa n'ap di, mwen konnen lide nou gen dèyè tèt nou.
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, say; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: and I know the devices of your spirit.
6 Nou sitèlman touye moun isit nan lavil la, lari yo plen kadav.
Ye have multiplied your dead in this city, and ye have filled your ways with slain men.
7 Konsa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di nou: Wi, lavil la tankou yon chodyè. Men kisa ki vyann lan? Se kadav moun nou touye yo! Nou menm menm m'ap fè yo mete nou deyò nan lavil la.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Your dead whom ye have smitten in the midst of it, these are the flesh, and this[city] is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
8 Nou pè lagè, pa vre? Enben, m'ap voye lagè sou nou! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
Ye fear the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord.
9 M'ap fè yo mete nou deyò nan lavil la. M'ap lage nou nan men moun lòt nasyon yo. M'ap pini nou jan m' te pwomèt nou sa a.
And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and will deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 N'ap mouri nan lagè nan mitan peyi nou an. Se la m'ap pini nou. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you on the mountains of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
11 Lavil sa a p'ap pwoteje nou jan chodyè pwoteje vyann ki ladan l'. Se nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la menm m'ap pini nou.
And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Phaltias the son of Banaeas died. And I fell upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Alas, alas, O Lord! wilt thou utterly destroy the remnant of Israel?
12 Wi, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Pase pou nou te swiv lòd mwen yo, pase pou n' te fè sa m' mande nou fè, nou te pito swiv vye mès pèp k'ap viv nan peyi ki bò kote nou yo.
13 Antan m'ap bay mesaj la, Pelatya, pitit gason Benaja a, tonbe li mouri frèt. Mwen lage kò m' ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen jouk atè, mwen rele byen fò, mwen di: -O Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la! Eske ou pral touye ti rès moun ki rete nan pèp Izrayèl la?
14 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
15 -Nonm o! Moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ap pale sou ou, sou frè ou, sou fanmi ou, sou tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo. Y'ap di: Moun yo depòte yo twò lwen pou yo ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, se konsa Seyè a ban nou peyi a pou rele nou pa nou.
Son of man, thy brethren, and the men of thy captivity, and all the house of Israel are come to the full, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Keep ye far away from the Lord: the land is given to us for an inheritance.
16 Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, bay pou moun yo depòte yo. Wi, se mwen menm ki te voye yo al viv byen lwen nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, mwen gaye yo nan yon bann lòt peyi. Men, m'ap toujou la avèk yo nan peyi kote yo ale a tankou si m' te nan kay yo mete apa pou mwen an.
Therefore say thou, Thus saith the Lord; I will cast them off among the nations, and will disperse them into every land, yet will I be to them for a little sanctuary in the countries which they shall enter.
17 Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, m'ap di yo: M'ap pran yo nan mitan nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a, m'ap sanble yo. M'ap fè yo soti kite peyi sa yo, m'ap ba yo peyi Izrayèl la ankò pou yo.
Therefore say thou, Thus saith the Lord; I will also take them from the heathen, and gather them out of the lands wherein I have scattered them, and will give them the land of Israel.
18 Lè y'a tounen, y'a wete tout vye zidòl y'a jwenn ansanm ak tout vye bagay derespektan ki t'ap fèt nan peyi a.
And they shall enter in there, and shall remove all the abominations of it, and all its iniquities from it.
19 M'ap ba yo yon lòt kè, yon lòt lespri. M'ap wete kè di kou wòch yo te genyen nan lestonmak yo a, m'ap ba yo yon kè ki gen bon santiman.
And I will give them another heart, and will put a new spirit within them; and will extract the heart of stone from their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:
20 Konsa, y'a mache dapre lòd m'a ba yo. Y'a fè tou sa m'a mande yo fè. Y'a koute m' lè m'a pale yo. Se pèp pa m' lan menm yo pral ye, mwen menm mwen pral Bondye yo.
that they may walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
21 Men, m'ap pini moun ki pa vle lage vye zidòl yo, ki toujou soti pou yo fè vye bagay derespektan yo. M'ap pini yo pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki pale.
And as for the heart [set upon] their abominations and their iniquities, as their heart went [after them], I have recompensed their ways on their heads, saith the Lord.
22 Bèt vivan yo pran vole, wou yo pati ansanm ak yo. Bèl limyè prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te anwo yo.
Then the cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Bèl limyè prezans Seyè a soti kite lavil la, li ale poze sou mòn ki te sou bò solèy leve a.
And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which was in front of the city.
24 Nan vizyon an toujou, mwen wè lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' tounen lavil Babilòn nan mitan moun yo te depòte yo. Lèfini, vizyon an disparèt.
And the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the land of the Chaldeans, to the captivity, in a vision by the Spirit of God: and I went up after the vision which I saw.
25 Mwen rakonte moun yo te depòte yo tou sa Seyè a te fè m' wè.
And I spoke to the captivity all the words of the Lord which he had shewed me.
