Ezekyèl 16
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Fè moun lavil Jerizalèm yo rekonèt tout vye bagay derespektan yo te fè yo.
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 W'a di moun lavil Jerizalèm yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Nou se moun peyi Kanaran, se la nou fèt. Papa nou te yon moun peyi Amori, manman nou yon moun peyi Et.
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
4 Jou ou soti nan vant manman ou lan, yo pa t' koupe kòd lonbrit ou, yo pa t' lave ou nan dlo pou yo te pwòpte ou, yo pa t' fwote ou ak gwo sèl, yo pa t' menm vlope ou nan moso kòt.
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Pesonn pa t' gen pitye pou ou pou yo te rann ou yonn nan ti sèvis sa yo. Lè ou te fèt la, pesonn pa t' vle wè ou, yo voye ou jete nan jaden.
No eye pitied thee, to do any of these to thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 Mwen vin ap pase bò la, mwen wè ou t'ap benyen nan san ou. Atout ou t'ap benyen nan san ou, mwen di mwen p'ap kite ou mouri, se pou ou viv.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thy own blood, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
7 Se pou ou grandi tankou yon plant nan jaden. Ou grandi, ou fòme, ou vin yon bèl jenn fi. Tete ou yo te byen kanpe, pwal te pouse sou kò ou. Men, ou te toutouni.
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and become great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thy hair is grown, though thou wast naked and bare.
8 Mwen vin ap pase bò la ankò, mwen wè ou. Ou te rive laj pou ou te renmen. Mwen louvri gwo varèz mwen an sou ou, mwen kouvri kò ou ki te toutouni an. Mwen fè sèman m'ap toujou renmen ou. Wi, mwen pase kontra maryaj avè ou. Se konsa ou vin madanm mwen. Se Seyè ki sèl mèt la ki di sa.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
9 Apre sa, mwen pran dlo, mwen lave ou, mwen wete tout san ki te sou kò ou. Mwen basinen ou ak lwil santi bon.
Then I washed thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Mwen mete bèl rad bwode sou ou, yon pè soulye fèt ak po bazann nan pye ou, yon bèl moso twal fin blan mare nan ren ou, ak yon chal swa.
I clothed thee also with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 Mwen kouvri ou ak bijou, mwen mete braslè nan ponyèt ou, m' pase bèl chenn nan kou ou.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 Mwen mete yon grenn zanno nan nen ou, yon pè zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn sou tèt ou.
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 Ou te plen bijou lò ak bijou ajan. Ou te toujou mete bèl rad twal fin ak rad swa byen bwode sou ou. Ou manje pen ki fèt ak pi bon kalite farin ansanm ak siwo myèl ak lwil. Chak jou ou vin pi bèl, jouk ou rive larenn.
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 Nan tout lòt nasyon yo, yo t'ap nonmen non ou pou jan ou te bèl. Pou bèl ou pa t' ka pi bèl pase sa paske se mwen menm ki te fè ou bèl konsa. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
15 Men, ou kite bèlte ou la fè ou pèdi tèt ou. Ou pwofite dèske tout moun ap nonmen non ou lan pou ou lage kò ou nan dezòd, ou kouche ak dènye moun k'ap pase. Ou lage kò ou ba yo.
But thou didst trust in thy own beauty, and didst play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy harlotries on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Ou pran bèl rad koulè ou yo, ou dekore kote w'ap fè sèvis pou lòt bondye sou tèt mòn yo. Tankou yon fanm k'ap fè jennès, ou kouche la ak dènye moun ki vini.
And of thy garments thou didst take, and didst deck thy high places with various colours, and didst play the harlot upon them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Ou pran bijou lò ak bijou ajan mwen te ba ou yo, ou bay yo pou yo fè estati gason. Epi ou kouche ak estati yo.
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and hast made to thyself images of men, and hast committed harlotry with them,
18 Ou biye estati ou yo ak bèl rad bwode mwen te ba ou yo. Ou pran lwil ak lansan ki te pou mwen yo, ou ofri yo bay estati ou yo.
And hast taken thy embroidered garments, and didst cover them: and thou hast set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Mwen te ba ou pi bon kalite farin pou fè pen pou ou manje ansanm ak siwo myèl ak lwil. Ou pran yo, ou ofri yo bay zidòl ou yo, ou boule yo nan dife pou yo te ka ba ou chans. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di wi, se sa ou fè.
My food also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed thee, thou hast even set before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
20 Apre sa, ou pran pitit gason ak pitit fi ou te fè pou mwen yo, ou al ofri yo bay zidòl yo pou zidòl yo te manje yo. Sa pa t' ase pou ou te lage kò ou nan tout dezòd sa yo
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me, and these hast thou sacrificed to them to be devoured. Is this of thy harlotries a small matter,
21 kifè ou te bezwen koupe kou pitit mwen yo, lèfini pou ou te boule yo nan dife pou zidòl ou yo?
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 Pandan tout tan ou t'ap viv nan dezòd sa a, ou pa janm chonje lè ou te piti, lè ou te toutouni ap benyen nan san ou lan?
And in all thy abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
23 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Madichon, madichon pou ou! Lè ou fin fè tout mechanste sa yo,
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, woe, ( woe to thee! saith the Lord GOD; )
24 sou tout rebò granchemen yo, ou bati tanp pou sèvi zidòl ou yo, pou fè metye jennès ou a.
That thou hast also built to thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 Nan chak kalfou granchemen, ou bati yon tanp kote ou trennen bèlte ou la nan labou. W'ap ofri tèt ou bay dènye moun k'ap pase. Chak jou ou te vin pi mal.
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast offered thyself to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy harlotries.
26 W' al kouche ak moun peyi Lejip yo, vwazen ou yo ki gwonèg anpil. Ou fè, ou fè jouk ou fè m' fache.
Thou hast also committed harlotry with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy harlotry, to provoke me to anger.
27 Se konsa, mwen lonje men m' sou ou pou m' pini ou, mwen koupe moso nan sa ki te vin pou ou a. Mwen lage ou nan men lènmi ou yo, moun peyi Filisti yo, ki pa t' ka santi tout vye bagay sal ou t'ap fè yo.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thy ordinary food, and delivered thee to the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Men moun sa yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou, ou kouri al jwenn moun peyi Lasiri yo. Ou kouche ak yo. Men yo menm tou, yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou.
Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast not satisfied; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
29 W' al fè jennès ak moun Babilòn yo, gwo kòmèsan sa yo. Men yo menm tou, yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou!
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy harlotry in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet with this thou wast not satisfied.
30 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Se pa ti move mwen pa t' move sou ou! Ou fè tou sa tankou yon jennès je kale.
How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious harlot;
31 Ou bati yon lotèl repozwa nan chak kalfou granchemen. Ou bati tanp sou tout rebò granchemen yo. Men, se pa t' dèyè lajan ou te ye tankou lòt fanm k'ap fè jennès yo.
In that thou buildest thy eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32 Ou te tankou yon madan marye ki nan dezòd, ki pito fè bèl ak lòt gason pase pou li renmen mari l'.
But as a wife that committeth adultery, who taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 Yon jennès se peye yo peye sa. Men ou menm, se ou menm ki bay nonm ou yo kado, se ou menm k'ap ofri yo lajan pou yo soti toupatou vin kouche avè ou.
They give gifts to all harlots: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come to thee on every side for thy harlotry.
34 Ou pa t' tankou lòt fanm k'ap fè jennès yo. Pesonn pa t' fòse ou fè sa. Yo pa t' peye ou pou sa. Se ou ki t'ap peye moun vin kouche avè ou! Non! Ou pa t' tankou lòt jennès yo!
And thou art the opposite from other women in thy harlotries, though none followeth thee to commit harlotries: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given to thee, therefore thou art the opposite.
35 Koulye a, Jerizalèm, gwo jennès, koute sa Seyè a ap di:
Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
36 Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba ou: Ou wete tout rad sou ou. Ou rete toutouni nèt pou ou te kouche ak nonm ou yo, ansanm ak tout vye zidòl mwen pa vle wè yo. Lèfini, ou touye pitit ou yo, ou ofri yo bay zidòl.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy harlotries with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give to them;
37 Poutèt tou sa, mwen pral reyini tout ansyen nonm ou yo ki te konn pran plezi yo avè ou, ni sa ou te renmen yo, ni sa ou te rayi yo. M'ap fè yo vin fè wonn bò kote ou. Mwen pral wete dènye rad ki sou ou. Mwen pral kite ou toutouni devan je yo.
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them on every side against thee, and will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 M'ap pini ou menm jan yo pini fanm k'ap fè adiltè, ak fanm ki touye moun. M'ap fache, m'ap move, m'ap bay lòd pou yo touye ou.
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
39 M'ap lage ou nan men yo, yo pral demoli dènye lotèl repozwa ou fè pou zidòl ou yo, kote w'ap fè jennès la. Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou yo, y'ap kite ou toutouni.
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 Yo pral moute tèt yon foul moun pou yo touye ou ak kout wòch, y'ap filange ou ak nepe yo.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 Y'ap boule tout kay ou yo, y'ap pini ou devan yon foul medam. M'ap fè ou sispann fè jennès, m'ap fè ou sispann bay nonm ou yo kado.
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
42 Apre sa, mwen p'ap move sou ou ankò. M'a sispann fè jalouzi. Mwen p'ap fache ankò.
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Ou pa t' chonje jan m' te aji avè ou lè ou te jenn lan. Ou te fè m' move anpil pou tou sa ou te fè yo. Se poutèt sa mwen te fè ou peye pou tout. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa. Poukisa ou fè tout dezòd vakabonday sa yo mete sou tout lòt bagay derespektan ou fè yo?
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thy abominations.
44 Seyè a di ankò: Koulye a moun ki renmen fè pwovèb yo pral bay yonn sou do lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pral di: Joumou pa donnen kalbas. Pitit fi a ap soti tankou manman l'.
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Wi, ou se pitit manman ou vre. Li pa t' vle wè ni mari l' ni pitit li yo. Ou menm moun ak sè ou yo. Yo menm tou, yo pa t' vle wè ni mari yo, ni pitit yo. Se yon fanm peyi Et ki te manman nou tout. Se yon moun peyi Amori ki te papa nou.
Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Gran sè ou la rete nan nò. Se lavil Samari ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo. Ti sè ou la rete nan sid. Se lavil Sodòm ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo.
And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Ou mache dèyè yo pye pou pye, ou fè tout vye bagay derespektan yo fè. Men, nan tou sa ou fè yo, ou fè pi mal pase yo.
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
48 Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di ou: Sè ou la, lavil Sodòm ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo, yo pa t' janm rive fè tou sa ou menm lavil Jerizalèm, ou te fè ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont ou yo.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 Kisa lavil Sodòm te fè konsa? Li t'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou moun, paske li te gen kont manje pou l' manje. Yo t'ap viv kè pòpòz san pwoblèm. Men, yo pa janm lonje men bay pòv malere ak moun ki nan nesesite.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Yo kite lògèy vire lòlòj yo, yo fè tèt di, yo fè bagay yo konnen mwen pa vle wè moun fè. Se poutèt sa mwen disparèt yo, jan ou konnen l' lan.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Lavil Samari menm pa t' fè mwatye nan sa ou fè. Ou fè plis bagay derespektan pase l'. Ou fè sè ou yo pase pou inonsan bò kote ou.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thy abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thy abominations which thou hast done.
52 Ou pral wont tèt ou pou sa ou fè. Ou sitèlman fè peche ki pi lèd pase sa sè ou yo fè a, ou ba yo rezon, yo parèt inonsan bò kote ou. Wi, se pou ou wont. Se pou ou kache figi ou, paske ou fè sè ou yo pase pou inonsan bò kote ou.
Thou also, who hast judged thy sisters, bear thy own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 Seyè a pale ak lavil Jerizalèm, li di l' konsa: -M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, lavil Sodòm ak lavil Samari ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont yo. Bout pou bout, ou menm tou m'ap mete ou kanpe ankò.
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
54 Ou pral wont tèt ou pou tou sa ou te fè. Yo pral pale ou mal. Sè ou yo pral wè yo pa pi mal pase sa. Sa pral yon konsolasyon pou yo.
That thou mayest bear thy own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort to them.
55 Lavil Sodòm ak tout ti bouk li yo pral kanpe ankò jan yo te ye anvan an. Lavil Samari ak tout ti bouk li yo pral kanpe ankò jan yo te ye anvan an. Ou menm tou, lavil Jerizalèm ak tout ti bouk ou yo, nou pral kanpe ankò jan nou te ye anvan an.
When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state.
56 Lè ou te an penpan an, èske ou pa t' konn pase Sodòm nan betiz,
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 anvan yo te denonse tout mechanste ou yo? Koulye a, se ou menm moun Aram yo, moun Filisti yo ansanm ak lòt moun nan vwazinaj ki pa vle wè ou yo pral pase nan betiz.
Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise thee on every side.
58 Ou pral peye pou tout bagay derespektan ak bagay mwen pa vle wè ou te fè yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thy abominations, saith the LORD.
59 Seyè a pale ak lavil Jerizalèm, li di l' konsa: -Mwen pral boule avè ou jan ou merite l' la, paske ou pa ka kenbe pawòl ou, ou kase kontra a.
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Men, m'ap chonje kontra mwen te pase avè ou lè ou te jenn lan. M'ap siyen yon lòt kontra avè ou, yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Ou menm, w'a chonje sa ou te fè, w'a wont lè w'a resevwa gran sè ak ti sè ou yo. M'ap ba ou yo pou pitit fi pa ou malgre sa pa t' nan kontra a.
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 Wi, se mwen menm k'ap siyen kontra mwen an avè ou ankò. Lè sa a, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
63 M'ap padonnen ou tou sa ou te fè. Men ou menm, w'ap chonje sa ou te fè yo, w'a wont, ou p'ap ka louvri bouch ou ankò tèlman w'a wont. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
