Ezekyèl 13
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
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.
'Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:
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.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
4 Moun Izrayèl yo, koute: Pwofèt nou yo p'ap sèvi nou anyen, se tankou chat mawon k'ap viv nan vye kay kraze.
As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
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.
Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.
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.
They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
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.
A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?
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, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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.
And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
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.
Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.
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.
Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,
12 Lè miray la fin tonbe, y'a mande yo kisa dlo lacho a te fè pou miray la.
And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?
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.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.
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.
And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
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,
And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;
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.
The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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!
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
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.
And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?
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.
Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.
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, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
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.
And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
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.
Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him 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, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
