< Ezekyèl 2 >
1 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Kanpe non! Mwen pral pale avè ou.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.
2 Antan l'ap pale konsa a, lespri Bondye antre sou mwen, li mete m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Epi m' tande vwa a ki pran pale ankò.
And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
3 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap voye ou bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se yon bann moun ki pa t' vle koute m', yo te vire do ban mwen. Jouk koulye a y' ap kenbe tèt avè m' tankou zansèt yo te fè l' nan tan lontan.
And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
4 Yo gen tèt di, yo gen move santiman konsa nan kè yo. Men se bò kote moun sa yo m'ap voye ou pou di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m' voye di yo.
And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.
5 Mwen konnen se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di. Kit yo koute ou, kit yo pa koute ou, zafè yo! Men y'a konnen te gen yon pwofèt nan mitan yo.
Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.
6 Men ou menm, nonm o! ou pa bezwen pè yo, ni ou pa bezwen pè sa y'ap di. Y'ap tizonnen ou, y'ap pase ou nan betiz. W'ap tankou yon moun k'ap mache nan yon jaden pikan, tankou yon moun ki chita sou yon nich flanman. Men, ou pa bezwen kite yo kraponnen ou ak sa y'ap di, ou pa bezwen pè yo. Se yon move ras moun yo ye, tèt yo di.
And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
7 Se pou ou di yo tou sa m'a di ou di yo, yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou. Chonje se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
8 Nonm o! Koute sa m' pral di ou la a. Pa fè tèt di tankou move ras moun sa yo. Louvri bouch ou, manje sa m' pral ba ou la a.
And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.
9 M' gade, mwen wè yon men lonje sou mwen. Li te kenbe yon woulo liv tou fèmen.
And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
10 Li louvri liv la devan je m', mwen wè li te ekri sou tou de bò l' yo. Li te plen pawòl moun di lè y'ap plenn sò yo, lè yo nan gwo lapenn, lè y'ap soufri anpil.
And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
