Ezekyèl 12
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord 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, thou dwellest in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking 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.
Thou therefore, son of man, prepare thyself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and thou shalt be led into captivity from thy place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking 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.
And thou shalt carry forth thy baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
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 for thyself into the wall [of the house], and thou shalt pass through it in their sight:
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.
thou shalt be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shalt go forth in secret: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: because I have made thee 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.
And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
8 Nan denmen maten, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, 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, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee, What doest thou?
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, Thus saith the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
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 performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and 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'.
And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
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'.
And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall 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.
And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a 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.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in 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.
And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord 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 thy bread with sorrow, and drink [thy] water with torment and affliction.
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.
And thou shalt say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
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.
And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord 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 your parable on the land of Israel, that ye say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
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!
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for thou shalt say to them, The days are at hand, and the import 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 shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children 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 the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], saith the Lord.
26 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Moreover the word of the Lord 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, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar 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 say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, saith the Lord.
