Ezekyèl 22
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Eske ou vle jije lavil ki renmen fè san koule a? W'a fè l' konnen tout vye bagay derespektan li te fè yo.
And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, declare thou to her all her iniquities.
3 W'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. Ou reskonsab lanmò anpil moun ki t'ap viv nan mitan ou. Ou fè vye zidòl pou ou avili tèt ou nan fè sèvis pou yo.
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;
4 Poutèt tout krim ou fè yo, ou antò. Avèk tout zidòl w'ap sèvi yo, ou pa nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Ou fè jou pa ou la pwoche, ou fè lè ou la rive! Se poutèt sa mwen kite nasyon yo pase ou nan betiz, tout moun ap lonje dwèt sou ou.
in their blood which thou hast shed, thou hast transgressed; and in thy devices which thou hast formed, thou hast polluted thyself; and thou hast brought nigh thy days, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,
5 Nan peyi pre ak nan peyi lwen, y'ap pase ou nan rizib. Ou se yon lavil ki gen move non, yon lavil plen dezòd.
to those near thee, and to those far distant from thee; and they shall mock thee, [thou that art] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
6 Tout chèf peyi Izrayèl yo gen konfyans nan pwòp fòs yo. Yon sèl bagay yo konnen, se touye moun.
Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in thee each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.
7 Nan lavil la, pesonn pa respekte papa ak manman yo ankò. Y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo. Y'ap maltrete fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki san papa.
In thee they have reviled father and mother; and in thee they have behaved unjustly toward the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.
8 Nou pa respekte kay yo mete apa pou mwen yo, ni jou repo m' yo.
And they have set at nought my holy things, and in thee they have profaned my sabbaths.
9 Plen moun nan mitan ou k'ap mache denonse moun, k'ap bay manti sou moun pou fè touye yo. Gen lòt k'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl yo. Gen lòt menm, se pran plezi yo nèt ale nan tout kalite dezòd.
[There are] robbers in thee, to shed blood in thee; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of thee.
10 Genyen k'ap kouche ak madanm papa yo. Genyen k'ap fòse madanm yo kouche ak yo atout yo gen règ yo.
In thee they have uncovered the father's shame; and in thee they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.
11 Genyen k'ap fè adiltè ak madanm moun Izrayèl parèy yo, k'ap kouche ak bèlfi yo san yo pa wont. Genyen k'ap fè kadejak sou pitit fi papa yo ki pa menm manman ak yo.
They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbor's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in thee they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.
12 Genyen k'ap touye moun pou lajan. Gen lòt ankò k'ap bay frè parèy yo ponya, y'ap mande yo enterè pou lajan yo prete yo. Y'ap pran tou sa frè parèy yo genyen pa fòs. Men mwen menm, yo bliye m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
In thee they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in thee interest and usurious increase; and by oppression thou hast brought thy wickedness to the full, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord.
13 Mwen pral frape pye m' atè, paske nou vòlò twòp, nou touye moun twòp.
And if I shall smite my hand at [thine iniquities] which thou hast accomplished, which thou hast wrought, and at thy blood that has been shed in the midst of thee,
14 Jou m'ap regle avè ou la, ou p'ap gen kouraj pou ou sipòte, ou p'ap menm ka leve bra ou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
shall thy heart endure? shall thine hands be strong in the days which I bring upon thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
15 M'ap gaye tout pèp ou a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. M'ap mache simaye nou nan peyi etranje yo. M'ap fè nou sispann fè malpwòpte nou t'ap fè nan mitan nou an.
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and thy uncleanness shall be removed out of thee.
16 Akòz tou sa ou fè ki derespektan yo, lòt nasyon yo pral trennen ou nan labou. Men ou menm, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I will give heritages in thee in the sight of the nations, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Seyè a pale ave m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 -Nonm o! Pou mwen moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa vo anyen. Yo tankou kras ki rete nan fon chodyè lè y'ap fonn ajan, kwiv, asye, fè ak plon. Yo tankou kras nan fon chodyè, yo pa vo anyen.
Son of man, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me [as it were] mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver.
19 Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Koulye a nou tounen kras nan fon chodyè fèblantye, mwen pral mete nou tout fè pil nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 Menm jan yo mete vye moso ajan, kwiv, fè, plon ak eten nan yon chodyè sou gwo dife pou fonn yo wete kras, m'ap move sou nou, m'ap fè kòlè, m'ap tankou dife y'ap soufle anba chodyè fèblantye pou fonn metal yo, m'ap fè nou fonn.
As silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take [you] in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.
21 Wi, m'ap mete nou ansanm nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap limen dife anba nou, m'ap fache sou nou, m'ap fonn nou.
And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Nou pral fonn nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm tankou ajan k'ap fonn nan chodyè fèblantye. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki move sou nou konsa.
As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 -Nonm o! W'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo yo rete nan yon peyi ki gen madichon. Wi, lè m'a move sou yo, yo p'ap jwenn yon degout lapli.
Son of man, say to her, Thou art the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon thee in the day of wrath;
25 Chèf ki rete nan peyi a tankou lyon k'ap gwonde bò yon bèt yo fin touye. Yo devore moun, yo pran tout richès ak tout byen yo jwenn. Se pa de fanm yo kite san mari.
whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and thy widows are multiplied in the midst of thee.
26 Prèt yo menm pa kenbe lwa mwen an, yo pa gen respè pou kay ki apa pou mwen an. Yo pa fè diferans ant bagay ki apa pou mwen ak bagay ki pa apa pou mwen. Yo pa moutre moun sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon pou sèvis mwen. Yo pa konn sa ki rele jou repo mwen yo. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pa respekte m' menm.
Her priests also have set at nought my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
27 Zotobre yo menm nan lavil la, yo tankou chen mawon k'ap dechèpiye bèt yo touye. Y'ap touye moun pou yo vòlò byen yo.
Her princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 Pwofèt yo kache peche pou chèf yo tankou moun k'ap kouvri yon vye miray ak krepisay. Y'ap fè vizyon ki pa vre. Y'ap bay manti sou sa ki pou rive. Yo pretann se mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ba yo, men, mwen pa janm pale ak yo.
And her prophets that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus saith the Lord, when the Lord has not spoken.
29 Nan tout peyi a moun yo lage kò yo nan fè mechanste, nan vòlò zafè moun. Y'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite yo, y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon yo san rezon.
That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.
30 Mwen chache nan mitan yo yon moun ki ta ka bati yon miray, ki ta ka kanpe kote miray yo ap kraze a, pou pran defans peyi a lè m'a fè kòlè pou m' detwi l', men mwen pa jwenn pesonn.
And I sought from among them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found [him] not.
31 Se konsa, mwen pral move sou yo. Tankou yon dife, mwen pral disparèt yo. Mwen pral fè yo peye pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish [it]. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, saith the Lord God.
