Ezekyèl 12
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, — Who have eyes to see—and have not seen. Ears have they to hear—and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.
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 thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes, —so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider— though a perverse house, they are.
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.
Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes, —and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to 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.
Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, —and carry forth 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.
Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee 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 so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth—on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.
8 Nan denmen maten, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 perverse house, said unto thee, — What art thou 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 unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, — [For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel such as 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 sign: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile—into captivity, shall they go.
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'.
Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to bear forth through it, — His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land.
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'.
Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he 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 round about him to help him and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind, —and, a sword, will I make bare 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.
So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, — By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout 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.
Yet will I leave remaining of them men easily counted, from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence, —that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
17 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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, Thy bread with trembling, shalt thou eat, — And, thy water in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.
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.
Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem upon the soil of Israel, Their bread with anxious care, shall they eat, And, their water in astonishment, shall they drink, — That her land, may be deserted, of her fulness, because of the violence of all them 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.
Yea, the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, And, the land, shall become, an astonishment, — So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
21 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 ye have, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, — The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?
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 unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, — But speak unto them, The days, are drawn near, And the substance 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 vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of 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, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, — For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
26 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath he prophesied.
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 unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, — Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
