Ezekyèl 16

1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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, and thou hast said:

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.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity [Are] of the land of the Canaanite, Thy father the Amorite, and thy mother a 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.

As to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born, Thou — thy navel hath not been cut, And in water thou wast not washed for ease, And thou hast not been salted at all, And thou hast not been 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 hath had pity on thee, to do to thee any of these, To have compassion on thee, And thou art cast on the face of the field, With loathing of thy person. In the day thou hast been born — thou!

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 I do pass over by thee, And I see thee trodden down in thy blood, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live, And I say to thee 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.

A myriad — as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair hath grown — And thou, 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.

And I pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And thou dost become 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.

And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume.

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.

And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk.

11 Mwen kouvri ou ak bijou, mwen mete braslè nan ponyèt ou, m' pase bèl chenn nan kou ou.

And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for 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 give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on 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.

And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the 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 go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty — for it [is] complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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.

And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every passer by — to him it is.

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 thou dost take of thy garments, And dost make to thee spotted high-places, And dost go a-whoring upon them, They are not coming in — nor shall it be!

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.

And thou dost take thy beauteous vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to thee, And dost make to thee images of a male, And dost go a-whoring 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 dost take the garments of thy embroidery, And thou dost cover them, And My oil and My perfume thou hast set 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.

And My bread, that I gave to thee, Fine flour, and oil, and honey, that I caused thee to eat. Thou hast even set it before them, For a sweet fragrance — thus it is, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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

And thou dost take thy sons and thy daughters Whom thou hast born to Me, And dost sacrifice them to them for food. Is it a little thing because of thy whoredoms,

21 kifè ou te bezwen koupe kou pitit mwen yo, lèfini pou ou te boule yo nan dife pou zidòl ou yo?

That thou dost slaughter My sons, And dost give them up in causing them to pass over to 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 with all thine abominations and thy whoredoms, Thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, When thou wast naked and bare, Trodden down in thy blood thou wast!

23 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Madichon, madichon pou ou! Lè ou fin fè tout mechanste sa yo,

And it cometh to pass, after all thy wickedness, (Woe, woe, to thee — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah),

24 sou tout rebò granchemen yo, ou bati tanp pou sèvi zidòl ou yo, pou fè metye jennès ou a.

That thou dost build to thee an arch, And dost make to thee a high place in every broad place.

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.

At every head of the way thou hast built thy high place, And thou dost make thy beauty abominable, And dost open wide thy feet to every passer by, And dost multiply thy whoredoms,

26 W' al kouche ak moun peyi Lejip yo, vwazen ou yo ki gwonèg anpil. Ou fè, ou fè jouk ou fè m' fache.

And dost go a-whoring unto sons of Egypt, Thy neighbours — great of appetite! And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms, 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.

And lo, I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I diminish thy portion, And give thee to the desire of those hating thee, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed of thy wicked 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.

And thou goest a-whoring unto sons of Asshur, Without thy being satisfied, And thou dost go a-whoring with them, And also — thou hast not been 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!

And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms On the land of Canaan — toward Chaldea, And even with this thou hast not been 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, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In thy doing all these, The work of a domineering whorish woman.

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 thy building thine arch at the head of every way, Thy high place thou hast made in every broad place, And — hast not been as a whore deriding a gift.

32 Ou te tankou yon madan marye ki nan dezòd, ki pito fè bèl ak lòt gason pase pou li renmen mari l'.

The wife who committeth adultery — Under her husband — doth receive strangers.

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.

To all whores they give a gift, And — thou hast given thy gifts to all thy lovers, And dost bribe them to come in unto thee, From round about — in thy whoredoms.

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 the contrary is in thee from women in thy whoredoms, That after thee none doth go a-whoring; And in thy giving a gift, And a gift hath not been given to thee; And thou art become contrary.

35 Koulye a, Jerizalèm, gwo jennès, koute sa Seyè a ap di:

Therefore, O whore, hear a word of Jehovah,

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy brass being poured forth, And thy nakedness is revealed in thy whoredoms near thy lovers, And near all the idols of thy abominations, And according to the blood of thy sons, Whom thou hast given 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.

Therefore, lo, I am assembling all thy lovers, To whom thou hast been sweet, And all whom thou hast loved, Besides all whom thou hast hated; And I have assembled them by thee round about, And have revealed thy nakedness to them, And they have seen 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 have judged thee — judgments of adulteresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given thee blood, 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 have given thee into their hand, And they have thrown down thine arch, And they have broken down thy high places, And they have stript thee of thy garments, And they have taken thy beauteous vessels, And they have left 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.

And have caused an assembly to come up against thee, And stoned 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 burnt thy houses with fire, And done in thee judgments before the eyes of many women, And I have caused thee to cease from going a-whoring, And also a gift thou givest no more.

42 Apre sa, mwen p'ap move sou ou ankò. M'a sispann fè jalouzi. Mwen p'ap fache ankò.

And I have caused My fury against thee to rest, And My jealousy hath turned aside from thee, And I have been quiet, and I am not angry any more.

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, And dost give trouble to Me in all these, Lo, even I also thy way at first gave up, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I did not this thought for all thine 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'.

Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning thee, saying: As the mother — 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.

Thy mother's daughter thou [art], Loathing her husband and her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou [art], Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother [is] a 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 thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger sister, who is dwelling on 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.

And — in their ways thou hast not walked, And according to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been loathed, And thou dost more corruptly 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.

I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done — she and 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.

Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened.

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 are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.

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.

As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins — she hath not sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that 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 — bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying 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.

And I have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their midst,

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.

So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of all that thou hast done, In thy comforting 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.

And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back to your former state.

56 Lè ou te an penpan an, èske ou pa t' konn pase Sodòm nan betiz,

And thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy,

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 is revealed, As [at] the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round about.

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.

Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them, an affirmation of Jehovah.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath — to break 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.

And I — I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant age-during.

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.

And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters — Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And 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 — I have established My covenant with thee, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

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.

So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
