Ezekyèl 13
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 -Nonm o! Denonse pwofèt pèp Izrayèl yo. Denonse moun sa yo k'ap bay mesaj yo menm yo fè. Di yo: Manyè koute pawòl Seyè a.
“You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!
3 Men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di: Madichon pou bann pwofèt egare sa yo! Se yo menm ki fè mesaj y'ap bay la. Yo pa janm fè ankenn vizyon vre.
He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
4 Moun Izrayèl yo, koute: Pwofèt nou yo p'ap sèvi nou anyen, se tankou chat mawon k'ap viv nan vye kay kraze.
You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
5 Yo pa t' moute lagad kote miray la te make kraze a, ni yo pa t' rebati miray yo. Konsa, moun Izrayèl yo pa gen defans lè lagè va pete jou jijman Seyè a.
Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.
6 Vizyon y'ap fè yo se pou twonpe moun, mesaj y'ap bay yo se manti. Yo pretann di se mesaj Bondye y'ap bay. Men, se pa mwen menm ki janm pale ak yo. Lèfini, yo konprann pou m' fè sa yo di k'ap rive a rive vre.
The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!
7 Mwen tou di yo: Vizyon y'ap fè yo se tèt yo y'ap twonpe. Mesaj y'ap bay yo se manti. Y'ap plede di men mesaj Bondye bay. Men, mwen pa t' janm pale ake yo.
They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them nothing!”
8 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di yo: Se twonpe n'ap twonpe moun ak pawòl nou yo. Tout vizyon nou yo se manti. Se poutèt sa m'ap leve dèyè nou tou! Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.
9 Mwen pral pini pwofèt k'ap fè vizyon pou twonpe moun, k'ap bay mesaj ki pa laverite. p'ap gen plas pou yo lè pèp la va reyini. Yo p'ap gen non yo sou lis fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo p'ap janm tounen nan peyi a ankò. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la.
I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
10 Pwofèt yo ap woule pèp mwen an. Anyen p'ap mache nan peyi a. Yo menm menm, y'ap plede di tout bagay ap mache byen. Pèp la ap moute yon miray wòch san mòtye, pwofèt yo menm vini, yo blanchi l' ak dlo lacho.
They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].
11 Di moun k'ap pase dlo lacho sou miray la: Miray la pral tonbe. Mwen pral voye yon gwo lapli. Lagrèl pral tonbe, yon gwo van tanpèt pral soufle.
So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.
12 Lè miray la fin tonbe, y'a mande yo kisa dlo lacho a te fè pou miray la.
When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”
13 Enben, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Mwen pral fè yon sèl kòlè, m'ap voye yon gwo van tanpèt, yon gwo lapli ak lagrèl ki pral tonbe pou kraze miray la.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”
14 M'ap lage miray nou te blanchi ak lacho a atè, m'ap kraze l' ratè, wòch fondasyon yo pral parèt deyò. Miray la ap tonbe sou nou, l'ap kraze nou. Lè sa a, nou tout va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
[The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
15 Mwen pral move sou miray la ansanm ak tout moun ki te blanchi l' ak lacho a. Lè m'a fin fè yo sa m' gen pou m' fè yo a, m'a di nou: Miray la pa la ankò, ni bann moun ki te blanchi l' ak lacho a,
In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”
16 bann pwofèt pèp Izrayèl yo k'ap bay bèl mesaj pou lavil Jerizalèm lan. Anyen p'ap mache nan peyi a, epi yo menm y'ap plede di yo fè vizyon tout bagay ap mache byen. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.
17 Seyè a di ankò: -Nonm o! Koulye a, vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon medam k'ap fè mesaj yo yo menm! Yo pran pòz pwofèt yo nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la! Denonse yo!
So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
18 Lèfini, di yo men sa Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, voye di yo: Madichon pou nou, medam! N'ap mare kòd wanga nan ponyèt tout moun. N'ap moute mouchwa tèt pou tout kalite moun pou yo ka gen pouvwa pran nanm moun. Nou dèyè pou nou gen pouvwa fè sa nou vle ak nanm lòt moun san anyen pa rive nou.
Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.
19 N'ap derespekte mwen devan pèp mwen an. Pou kèk ponyen grenn lòj ak kèk moso pen n'ap touye moun ki pa merite mouri, n'ap sove moun ki pa merite viv ankò. N'ap bay pèp mwen an yon bann manti. Yo menm, yo byen kontan kwè nou.
You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”
20 Enben! Men sa Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di: Mwen pa vle wè kòd wanga nan ponyèt nou yo. Se ak yo nou sèvi pou nou pran nanm lòt moun tankou zwezo nan pèlen. M'ap rache yo nan ponyèt nou. M'ap delivre moun nou te pran nan pèlen yo pou y' al fè wout yo.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.
21 M'ap rache mouchwa tèt nou yo, m'ap sove pèp mwen an anba men nou. Nou p'ap ka fè sa nou vle ak yo ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
22 Mwen pa ta renmen anyen rive bon moun yo. Men nou menm, avèk manti n'ap bay yo, n'ap dekouraje yo. N'ap ankouraje mechan yo pou yo pa chanje. Nou pa ba yo chans sove lavi yo.
You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.
23 Enben! Se poutèt sa koulye a, nou p'ap fè vizyon pou twonpe moun ankò, ni nou p'ap ba yo manti sou sa ki pral rive yo. Mwen pral sove pèp mwen an anba men nou. Konsa, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
