Ezekyèl 21
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Vire figi ou gade nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Denonse sa y'ap fè nan tanp yo. Avèti moun peyi Izrayèl yo!
Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie against the land of Israel.
3 W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou nou: Mwen leve dèyè nou koulye a. Mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li, mwen pral touye nou tout, bon kou move.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both the righteous and the wicked.
4 Wi, mwen pral touye bon moun kou move moun nan peyi a. Se poutèt sa menm mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li pou touye tout moun depi nan sid rive nan nò.
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North,
5 Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rale nepe m' nan djenn li. Anyen p'ap ka fè m' mete l' nan plas li ankò.
That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more.
6 Men ou menm, nonm o! Se pou ou plenn paske kè ou ap fann, ou dekouraje. Wi, se pou ou plenn pou tout moun ka wè ou.
Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.
7 Lè y'a mande ou poukisa w'ap plenn konsa, w'a di yo: Se paske m' pran nouvèl malè ki pral rive a. Lè l'a rive vre, kè tout moun pral kase, ponyèt yo ap febli, y'ap pèdi tout fòs kouraj yo, yo p'ap ka kanpe sou janm yo. Lè a rive, li deja sou nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.
8 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
9 -Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Di pèp la men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di yo: Nepe a, nepe a! Men y'ap file l'. Men y'ap netwaye li.
Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.
10 Y'ap file l' pou touye moun. Y'ap netwaye li pou fè l' fè zèklè. Pa gen fè fèt ankò, paske pèp mwen an pa okipe avètisman ak pinisyon mwen te ba li.
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.
11 Wi, y'ap netwaye nepe a. Y'ap pare l' pou moun ka sèvi avè l'. Y'ap file l', y'ap netwaye l' pou yo mete l' nan men bouwo a.
And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer.
12 Ou menm, nonm o! Rele kont rele ou! Rele byen fò. Se pou pèp mwen an y'ap pare nepe a, pou tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pral touye yo ansanm ak tout pèp mwen an. Pran lapenn pou yo!
Cry, and houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh.
13 N'ap sonde pèp la. Si yo derefize chanje, tout bagay sa yo ap rive vre! Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
14 Koulye a, nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Lèfini, bat men pou ankouraje. Nepe a ap pase de fwa. Nepe a ap pase twa fwa. Nepe a ap touye anpil moun. Nepe a ap sènen yo kote yo vire.
Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.
15 L'ap fè pèp mwen an pèdi tout kouraj li, y'ap tonbe yonn sou lòt. Mwen mete nepe nan tout pòtay yo, yon nepe k'ap bay zèklè, yon nepe ki pare pou touye anpil moun.
I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
16 Ou menm, nepe file, koupe sou bò dwat, koupe sou bò gòch. Kote ou vire, koupe!
Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.
17 Mwen menm tou, m'ap bat men pou ankouraje. Se pou m' move sou yo jouk mwen p'ap kapab ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.
18 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, saying,
19 -Nonm o! Trase de chemen kote pou wa Babilòn lan ka pase ak nepe l'. De chemen yo ap soti nan menm peyi a. Mete de mak nan kalfou kote yo separe a,
Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.
20 yonn pou moutre wa a chemen ki mennen lavil Raba nan peyi Amon, yonn pou moutre l' chemen ki ale peyi Jida rive lavil Jerizalèm ki byen pwoteje ak ranpa a.
Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.
21 Wa Babilòn lan kanpe nan kalfou a bò mak yo, l'ap souke flèch yo voye atè pou li ka konnen ki wout pou li pran. L'ap mande zidòl yo sa pou l' fè, l'ap egzaminen fresi bèt yo touye pou bondye yo.
And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.
22 Bon! Men li kenbe flèch ki bay direksyon lavil Jerizalèm lan! Sa vle di se pou l' atake lavil Jerizalèm ak machin lagè yo, bay lòd pou yo touye tout moun, bay siyal pou yo mache sou lavil la ak gwo poto bwa pou defonse pòtay li yo, pou yo anpile ranblè nan pye miray li yo, pou yo fouye gwo kannal sènen l' toupatou.
At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.
23 Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo p'ap kwè sa w'ap di a se vre paske yo te pase kontra avè l'. Men, mesaj w'ap bay la se pou fè yo chonje tou sa yo fè ki mal, pou fè konnen y'ap fè yo prizonye.
And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken.
24 Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di yo: Tout moun konnen jan nou pa bon. Nou fè tout peche nou yo aklè. Nan tou sa n'ap fè nou moutre jan nou mechan. Se poutèt sa, y'ap kondannen nou. N'ap tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 Kanta pou ou menm, chèf peyi Izrayèl la, krimenèl san respè pou Bondye, jou pa ou la, jou dènye chatiman ou lan ap rive.
And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,
26 Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki pale. Wete kouwòn lan ak gwo bèl mouchwa madras la nan tèt ou. Tout bagay pral chanje. Sa ki anba yo pral moute chèf, sa ki te chèf yo pral tonbe.
Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.
27 Kraze, kraze, brize! Wi, m'ap fè lavil la tounen mazi. Men, pou sa rive, fòk moun mwen te chwazi pou pini lavil la vini anvan. Se nan men l' m'ap lage l'.
I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him.
28 -Nonm o! Bay mesaj la! Pale. Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun peyi Amon yo k'ap plede joure pèp Izrayèl la. Di yo konsa: Nepe a, nepe a pare pou touye! Li byen file pou depatcha. Li byen netwaye pou fè l' fè zèklè.
And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:
29 Vizyon nou t'ap fè yo pa bon vizyon. Sa yo te di ki gen pou rive a p'ap rive. Nou menm mechan, nou menm malveyan, jou pa nou an, jou pou yo ban nou dènye chatiman nou an ap vini. Nepe a pral tonbe sou nou.
Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.
30 Remete nepe a nan djenn li. Mwen pral jije ou kote yo te kreye ou la, nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.
Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.
31 M'ap fè ou santi jan m' move. Tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule, m'ap soufle sou ou, m'ap lage ou nan men lwijanboje yo ki pa konnen pase kraze moun.
And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.
32 Dife pral boule tout kò ou. San ou pral koule nan tout peyi a. Pesonn p'ap janm chonje ou ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
Thou shalt bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
