Ezekyèl 14
1 Lè sa a, gen kèk chèf fanmi Izrayèl yo ki te vin kote m' pou m' te fè yo konnen volonte Bondye.
Now certain men of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
2 Se konsa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
3 -Nonm o! Moun sa yo lage kò yo bay zidòl nèt. Yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Yo met nan tèt yo mwen pral kite yo vin mande m' konsèy?
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face; shall I hear them when they inquire of me?
4 Enben, pale ak yo, di yo konsa: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ap lage kò yo bay zidòl yo nèt, yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Lèfini, y'ap vin jwenn pwofèt Bondye a! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, k'ap ba yo repons yo merite poutèt kantite zidòl y'ap sèvi yo.
Therefore speak with them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, —I, Jehovah, will answer him according to the multitude of his idols;
5 Zidòl yo te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do ban mwen. Men, m'ap reponn yo pou yo ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
that I may lay hold of the house of Israel in their hearts, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Koulye a, men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Vire do bay zidòl nou yo, sispann fè vye bagay derespektan sa yo.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye, even turn yourselves from your idols, and from all your abominations turn ye your faces!
7 Chak fwa yonn nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo osinon yonn nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp mwen an va vire do ban mwen pou li al sèvi zidòl, si li kite zidòl pran nanm li pou li fè sa ki mal, lèfini pou li konprann pou li al jwenn pwofèt Bondye a pou mande l' mande m' anyen, se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki pral ba li repons la.
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me through him, —I, Jehovah, will answer him by myself.
8 M'ap kenbe tèt ak li. M'ap fè l' tounen yon egzanp pou yo mete non l' nan chante. M'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
9 Si yon pwofèt kite yo pran tèt li pou li pa pale verite, se mwen menm k'ap kite yo pran tèt li. M'ap lonje men m' sou li pou m' pini l', m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
And when the prophet is deceived when he speaketh anything, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 Ni pwofèt la, ni moun ki te vin jwenn li an ap peye pou sa yo fè. Y'ap resevwa menm chatiman an.
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that inquireth of him;
11 Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap vire do ban mwen ankò. Yo pa pral avili tèt yo nan fè sa ki mal. Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'ap ye, se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
12 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
13 -Nonm o! Si moun k'ap viv nan yon peyi peche kont mwen, si yo pa kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen, m'ap lonje men m' sou yo pou m' pini yo. M'ap koupe viv yo. M'ap fè yon sèl grangou tonbe sou yo, m'ap touye ni moun, ni bèt nan peyi a.
Son of man, when a land sinneth against me, and grievously transgresseth, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
14 Si twa moun dwat sa yo, Noe, Danèl ak Jòb, ta nan mitan yo, se yo menm ase ki t'ap sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
though these three men were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye bèt sovaj touye tout moun nan peyi a, pou fè peyi a tounen yon dezè moun pè travèse poutèt bèt sovaj sa yo.
When I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, and it be desolate so that none passeth through it because of the beasts,
16 Si twa moun sa yo ta nan mitan yo, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki t'ap sove. Tout peyi a t'ap tounen yon dezè.
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
17 Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye lagè sou peyi a. Mwen ta ka bay lòd pou nan lagè a yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
Or when I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land so that I cut off from it man and beast,
18 Si twa mesye sa yo ta nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ase ki ta sove.
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
19 Si mwen ta voye yon move maladi sou peyi a, si mwen ta move sou li jouk pou m' ta voye yon maladi san renmèd pou m' touye ni moun ni bèt,
Or when I send a pestilence upon that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
20 epi si Noe, Danèl ak Jòb te la nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki ta sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat.
though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness.
21 Men sa Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap voye kat pi gwo chatiman m' yo sou lavil Jerizalèm: lagè, grangou, bèt sovaj ak move maladi, pou yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more, when I send my four grievous judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 Men, si nou wè gen kèk moun ki chape, epi ki sove pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, gade yo byen lè y'a vin jwenn nou. Gade jan yo viv, gade sa yo fè. Lè sa a, n'a wè si m' pa t' gen rezon voye tout malè sa yo sou lavil Jerizalèm.
Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all which I have brought upon her.
23 Wi, lè n'a wè jan moun sa yo t'ap viv ak sa yo t'ap fè, n'a konnen mwen te gen rezon fè lavil Jerizalèm sa m' te fè l' la. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
They shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings; and ye shall know that not without cause I have done all that I have done to her, saith the Lord Jehovah.
