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, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are 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.
As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are 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 you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
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 yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
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 be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for 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.
Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
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, has not the house of Israel, the provoking 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: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
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 portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
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 leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
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 extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
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 all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe 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.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
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 behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. 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 your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
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 say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
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 cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you 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 this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
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 says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word 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 longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons 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. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
26 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And 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 house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
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.
Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
