Ezekyèl 12
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Se nan mitan yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di ou rete la a. Yo gen je, men yo pa wè anyen. Yo gen zòrèy, men yo pa tande anyen, paske se yon move ras moun wòklò ki gen tèt di yo ye.
“Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
3 Koulye a, ou menm nonm o! Fè pakèt ou tankou yon moun k'ap kouri pou danje. Pati kite peyi a devan je yo gwo lajounen. W'a fè yo tout wè ou ap pati kite kote ou ye a pou ou ale yon lòt kote ou pa janm konnen! Sa ka fè yo rekonèt jan yo gen tèt di.
“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4 Gwo lajounen w'a fè pakèt ou pati, pou yo ka wè ou. Lèfini, kite yo wè ou aswè ap soti tankou moun y'ap depòte yo.
You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
5 Antan y'ap gade ou, w'a fè yon twou nan miray la, w'a pase soti ladan l' ansanm ak pakèt ou a.
Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
6 La, devan je yo, w'a mete pakèt la sou zepòl ou, w'a met deyò nan fènwa a. W'a bouche je ou pou ou pa wè kote ou prale. Sa ou pral fè a va sèvi yon siy pou avèti moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you do not see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te ban mwen lòd fè a. Jou sa a, gwo lajounen, mwen fè pakèt mwen tankou yon moun y'ap depòte ta fè l'. Nan aswè, mwen fè yon twou ak men m' nan miray la, mwen soti nan fènwa a. Antan tout moun la ap gade m', mwen chaje pakèt mwen sou zepòl mwen, m' ale.
I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 Nan denmen maten, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 -Nonm o! Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo, move ras moun tèt di sa yo, va mande ou sa w'ap fè la a,
“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 w'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la voye ba yo. Mesaj sa a se va yon avètisman pou chèf lavil Jerizalèm lan ansanm ak pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan lavil la.
“Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
11 W'a di yo tou sa ou te fè a, se tankou yon avètisman pou sa ki pral rive yo. Yo pral fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
“Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
12 Chèf k'ap gouvènen yo a pral mete pakèt li sou zepòl li nan fènwa, l'ap chape kò l' nan yon twou y'a fè nan miray la pou li. L'ap bouche figi l' pou yo pa rekonèt li, li pa menm wè kote l'ap mete pye l'.
“‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
13 M'ap voye privye mwen dèyè li, m'ap pran l' ladan l'. Lèfini, m'ap mennen l' lavil Babilòn nan peyi moun Kalde yo. Men, l'ap mouri nan peyi sa a san li p'ap janm wè l' ak je l'.
I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
14 M'ap gaye tout moun ki te avè l' yo, gad pèsonèl li yo ak tout sòlda li yo, y'ap pran kouri nan tout direksyon. Men, m'ap fè lènmi kouri dèyè yo pou touye yo.
I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
15 Lè m'a fin gaye yo tout nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, lè m'a fin simaye yo nan divès peyi etranje, lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
16 Men, m'ap kite de twa ladan yo chape, yo p'ap touye yo nan lagè, yo p'ap mouri nan grangou, ni anba move maladi. Konsa, lè y'a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, y'a rakonte jan yo te fè bagay ki derespektan, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 -Nonm o! Lè w'ap manje, tranble kou fèy bwa. Bwè dlo ou ak kè sote, ak kè sere.
“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19 W'a di moun peyi a men mesaj Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la voye bay moun lavil Jerizalèm yo k'ap viv toujou nan peyi a: Y'ap manje ak kè sere, y'ap bwè ak kè sote. Peyi a pral tounen yon savann, p'ap gen anyen ladan l' ankò. Tou sa, akòz mechanste moun k'ap viv ladan l' yo.
Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20 Yo pral detwi lavil ki plen moun yo. Peyi a ap tounen yon dezè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
21 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
22 -Nonm o! Poukisa moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede repete pawòl sa a: Jou yo ap pase yonn apre lòt, sa yo te di k'ap rive a pa rive?
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
23 Koulye a, di yo men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, voye ba yo: Mwen pral fè yo sispann repete pawòl sa a. Yo p'ap janm tande l' ankò nan bouch moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo: Men jou a rive. Men sa yo te di ki pou rive a pral rive vre!
Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24 Nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la, p'ap gen moun k'ap fè vizyon pou twonpe moun ankò, p'ap gen pwofèt pou bay manti.
For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pral pale ak yo. Sa m'a di a gen pou l' rive, l'ap rive vre. Tande byen, bann moun wòklò, nou p'ap mouri anvan li rive. Non, se p'ap bagay k'ap pran twòp tan pou li rive. Sa mwen pral di a, m'ap fè l' rive vre. Se mwen menm Seyè ki sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
26 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
27 -Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap di vizyon w'ap fè a poko prèt pou l' rive. Mesaj w'ap bay yo, se pa pou yo, y'a gen tan mouri anvan sa ou di a rive.
“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
28 Se poutèt sa, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè a, Bondye sèl mèt la, voye di yo: Mesaj m'ap bay la p'ap pran tan pou l' rive vre. Pawòl m'ap di a pral rive. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
“Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
